Re: Off Topic - killing laptops - any advice?
use smcFanControl on the mac and crank the fans up to get rid of the heat.
run "Repair Disk Permissions" using Disk Utility on the mac, you would be surprised at the weird problems that will fix. On Fri, Apr 20, 2012 at 10:42 AM, oldspunky <paul@...>wrote: ** [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
Re: Cross Point connected to multiple Equipment
jgreenink16
I was about to call hogwash on that, but as it turns out, my disconnect_all actually connects to DiscFromC. I find that one very handy, and probably the one he wants. I find that much easier than trying to remember which device was connected previously.

C2N-TFM Showing up as "UNSUPPORTED DEVICE"
I am setting up the network on a system I'm about to upload to. Running through the devices when discovering, it pulls up an error for the C2N-TFM. It says "Unsupported Device". It will let me keep going, but any idea what this means?
The processor is a CP2E and I am programming this system in SB. |

Multiple running clocks and dates in the same system.
Hi!
I'm programming a system that has some special needs. User need to be able to simulate light scenarios of different GPS positions and dates. User must be able to configure the conditions: -GPS coordinates -Time from 0-100% of Sunrise and from 100%to0% of Sunset -Date of simulation. For example: -One room could be running lights emulating the sun in YEMEN in 3rd august, calculating the sunrise and sunset for that GPS coordinates and that date. -While another room could be running lights emulation sun in South Italy on 3th september. There are 16 different spaces. I can perform almost all the tasks with timers, pasts, offsets and astronomical clock... but I've not a clear way of programming two spaces running at different dates just using one TOD$. I may create a simpl+ module that modifies TOD$ creating several TOD$s based on days/months delay... any better idea? It's my only clue for the moment. Thanks for your advices ;) |

Your welcome.

I think almost everyone in the group has gone through that problem(or similar). Also, the InUse signal does not always stay high, it has a tendency to go low for a couple of waves(at least in my experience) when connecting a new controller to an equipment cross point. I use a ROS and an AND to make sure that it stays high until the inuse has gone low for X seconds. I doubt you will need this info, but stay away from DiscAll. It will reek nothing but havoc on a system. Good if you want to break the system, but I have yet to find a good use for it. --- In Crestron@..., Tim F <tsfauser@...> wrote:

Re: Polycom QDX6000
I was working on one last Friday and spent two hours on tech support with Polycom. The bottom line is that I ran into the EXACT same problem you did. I didn't have any luck and I used both the included 'pass-thru' cable supplied, and without it.

I ALSO did not get component video output to work on the unit at all. Polycom is advance replacing a unit which should arrive tomorrow (Monday, 4/23/12) and I will be trying it again in-house instead of on-site. The protocols API is available from their support website, but the bottom line is that it is identical for IR control to the HDX series units. So, using the Crestron provided HDX module, at the very least, you should have IR control functionality. I did not have this control, I did not EVER get this control... So, I will see again on Monday what occurs, but I would love any insight that you, or anyone else gets, in this regard. I will first hook it up with a known good cable with only pins 2, 3, and 5 connected. I know that sometimes over-pinning a serial cable with some products can mess things up. So, I'll go from there. At least Polycom was willing to spend over an hour (!!!) on the phone troubleshooting this product. It just scares me what getting the VTC to actually work will be like considering the headache with this part of the setup. --- In Crestron@..., "stranded" <strandedyahoo@...> wrote:

Re: Just posted Insteon lighting & thermostat control modules that I developed
Bumping an old topic, but wanted to see how your experience has been if you are still using them with the Insteon products. I have a number of residential properties which clamor for some lighting control but aren't up for the pricing of Lutron.

I would love to put this in, and was thinking of using your module (which looks excellent), but wanted a bit more information about your specific setup and your involvement with it. I was also thinking about doing this with my new home. I saw that you recommend the filters, at about 25 bucks each I could certainly throw a half dozen in... But, I was thinking that this may end up controlling 100+ switches in my home when completed, connected to a Pro2. Wanted to know what hardware you were using, because it sounds like you are using this... For 80 bucks, that's an inexpensive way to gain lighting control. Likewise, wanted to know what else may be necessary. I am just registering with the Insteon forums, and I really have no need for advanced functionality beyond 'basic' dimming right now. Even the two-way aspect isn't a big deal to me. But, gaining power line control over lighting for 80 bucks plus a few dimmers in a theater would be a cost concious option to even a Grafik Eye and would be pretty exciting to add to the mix if it is quick and reliable. Would love more thoughts and discussion on this, or other lighting control options which are reasonably priced and expandable. --- In Crestron@..., "Nason Tackett" <nason@...> wrote:

Re: Sort of OT: Seamless WiFi roaming?
Tim
HP has a great offering as well. They bought Colubris 2 years ago. Colubris developed the first multiple SSID system. Best part of HP is that most of the Hardware has a lifetime warranty. I've installed hundreds of Colubris/HP Access Points and seen very few issues. Even if you have issues it's easy to get warranty replacement(they use next day shipping). I've got over 50 APs at one location and roaming between them works very well.

Cross Point connected to multiple Equipment
timfauser
Trying to get a better grasp on cross points by testing on my home system (fyi, wife is annoyed).
I have my equipment connection routing going into a Serial/ Analog One Shot that has disconnect running running on the out and connect on the out*. Somehow when I connect to Equipment crosspoint 101d, and press join 45 on Control crosspoint 1d, I see the signal come out Equipment cross point 100d (was connected to) AND 101d. If I reboot the processor it will only come out the first I connect to, but it never seems to loose connection when I try to move to a different piece of gear. How is this possible, and what am I missing. Quickly my wife is looking for the granite rolling pin. Thanks Tim F |
Re: Insignia NS-42P650A11
Old thread but purchased an Insignia 40" LCD for the guestroom today ($349). The IR Codes in the Crestron Library under Insignia did not work, but the Broksonic CTGV-4563TCT (Infrared Control) worked. FYI.

Re: Sort of OT: Seamless WiFi roaming?
I can't say how the devices "see" the wireless network but Cisco Lightweight Access Points (LWAPs) with a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) have always worked beautifully as long as the RF site survey and configuration is done correctly.

In one project I was even able to use a TPMC-8X in the elevator (one of the corners was kind of iffy, though) I think one of the keys is since the WLC has "birds-eye" view of the network whereas autonomous APs are only aware of their immediate surroundings some tricks can be pulled to "encourage" a device to associate with and then roam to a specific access point. Also, with a WLC/WDS in play the authentication/authorization is handed off as well when the device roams from one AP to another so there's not the delay in making the client reauthenticate with a new AP. I'm running older Cisco autonomous APs at home with WDS and TPMC-8Xes (x2) plus a few iPod touches and laptops and the roaming is seamless. Bonus is on the Crestron SSID (where I'm using MAC authentication instead of LEAP all of the APs use a common RADIUS server for MAC Address authentication so if I add or remove a device it only needs to be done one place.

I guess this isn't really OT since networking and WiFi seems to be half of what we all do these days...

Re: Protocol rant...
I remember many years ago on a CNMS, I had a system that had an 8 bit checksum. The fun part - the each byte was expressed not only as it's ascii counterpart, but reversed (i.e. instead of sending the single byte \xAB, you had to send the 2 characters "B" then "A"). I remember doing something elaborate with a TXA, sending the string to a symbol that took each byte and spit it out as a readable string, then to an OP103 to parse things apart, remove the spaces that the previous symbol injected, flip the analogs around to another TXA to generate the real string. Fun stuff. Today, SIMPL+, screw doing that in SIMPL.
