Driver development using "websocket.c4z" from SDK

[FullBoar]

Hi all,

First post here, so hopefully this is in the right location...

I'm attempting to use the websocket.c4z demo from the Driverworks SDK.  At this stage it's unmodified.  When loaded into Composer Pro, running with Virtual Director, whenever I try to test basic functionality it fails with the output 

LUA_ERROR [id: 12][name: WebSocket Demo][file: websocket.c4z][method: OnPropertyChanged]: [string "Lua Code"]:29: attempt to index local 'DemoSocket' (a nil value)

In the field "WebSocket URL", I'm using the string "http://websocket.org" (which works fine from a browser)

So...  My question is, is this demo driver still relevant?  Is there more documentation somewhere?

Edit:  The end goal here is to try and establish two-way comms using an SSL certificate.  Only after getting that working can I then think about driver implementation.

Thanks

D.

Try on a live system. Virtual director is very very limited in functionality for drivers or anything.

It's more there to make project templates.

Thank you.  That's useful to know...  Any suggestions if I don't have a C4 controller yet?

Without one, you're pretty much limited on what you can do to guessing. So I'd look to get a controller asap.

Ha...  okay.  That's a bit of a shame...  I'd really hoped the Virtual Director was a bit more fully featured

If that was the case, I'm sure everyone would build desktops with high specs and use virtual director instead of a controller and then nobody would buy controllers and the CA10 wouldn't be sellable at all...

Probably best to post this in the driverworks section of the official dealer forum.
