¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

That¡¯s more or less my point ¨C no S+, no ACOMP2 (oh, how dearly do I love that symbol) ¨C forces you to be creative and understand what¡¯s going on under the hood. ?

?

There are a number of places where S+ is needed for string handling or ¡°advanced¡± math, but there are just as many places where S+ is used out of laziness. For example, it is entirely possible to build a Request to Speak Queue with ¡°management¡± (swapping users, removing a user from the middle, etc.) entirely in SIMPL, but I usually do it in S+ because it¡¯s faster. But doing it in SIMPL can really illustrate the relationships between logic waves and serial behavior.

I don¡¯t get it, it doesn¡¯t support simpl+.? Most every receiver and advanced AV device uses simpl+ inside its modules.? This means he can¡¯t load or use most modules from the Crestron database.

Yep, I think learning on an ST-CP is a great idea.

The newer platforms are also far more forgiving in most respects than the older platforms.
