Re: duplicate control join ID error

 

The control ID may be referring to a Smart Object ID and not a ccross id. Check the Smart Object extenders under the xPanel symbol. You will probably find a couple that are set to 0d.

That would mean that you probably didn't set the Smart Object IDs for some of your smart objects, in VTPro, before importing the CED files into Simpl Windows...

Re: Wait function within SIMPL+

 

Did you name the wait? - a named wait can be cancelled (un-named waits
cannot be cancelled IIRC)

Subject: [Crestron] Wait function within SIMPL+


I am having issues with a small code. During a push event, i want to be able
to wait for 30 seconds.

If the wait functions timesout, then one block of code within push event
will be executed.

or If i receive a change in analog input, i want to cancel that wait and run
separate code of block within the same push event.

how do I achieve this?

TIA


Re: Wait function within SIMPL+

 

PUSH TRIG

{

PRESSED = 1 ;

// Press and hold for 30s

Wait(3000,StartTiming)

{

// run some code if wait has elapsed

}



}



RELEASE TRIG

{

Cancelwait(StartTiming);

PRESSED = 0 ;

CHANGE ANALOG_TRIG

If(PRESSED =1) then

Re: Wait function within SIMPL+

 

Perhaps something like this?



digital_input trig;

analog_input value;

digital_output waiting;



push trig

{

if(waiting=off)

{

waiting=on;

wait(3000,timer)

{

waiting=off;

//code that will run when timer expires

}

}

}

change value

{

if(waiting=on)

{

cancelwait(timer);

waiting=off;

//code that will run if timer canceled

}

}

Re: Samsung UE55ES7000 - EX-Link

 

Hi!

Check this info about ex-link

Specially this!!!:

"As the TV uses 3.3V TTL levels, the serial input/output has to be converted to/from TTL levels to RS232 levels (~10-15V). Thus a level shifter is needed. But most computers today, doesn't have an RS232 port, so you also need a USB-to-RS232 serial adapter (cable). Thus its a definite advantage to buy a pre-fabricated USB-to-serial converter using 3.3 Volt TTL levels on the serial side. Common one to look for are based on the PL2303 and FTDI chips.
WARNING! RS232 levels are up to 15V, which can cause seriously damage at your TV!"

Hi,

I hope someone can have some patience and spoon feed me through this as I have sat here for hours and have got nowhere. I am guessing a bit so please let me know if I am doing something stupid.

Firstly this may all be down to me using a module that may not work as I can't find my TV.

I have a: UE55ES7000
Closest I can find is the UN55ES8000

I've made up a cable for EX-LINK control using the diagram in the module pdf

(integrated_partner_modules/help_files/959/samsung_un55es8000_v1_0_help.pdf)

Tested cable with multi-meter, seems fine.

I have set the value of the RS232 mode to Debug.

Tried a basic test with the module set up like this:



I'm getting nothing in debugger on Samsung_Rx$ and the TV responds to nothing�

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: Security DVR with GOOD iPad/Mobile app?

 

+1 for wirepath, great iphone/ipad app, easily integrates into touchpanels and Ipads. If you get the 100 series DVR (their basic), make sure you include an additional 2TB HDD and swap out the one it comes with. with 4 cams, you only hold about 4 days of video, 2TB extends it to almost 2 weeks. Their software is on an embedded chip, so you can just swap out the HDD and reformat through the menu.

To add to the *out of range values are ignored* statement. If your 8x8 switcher only had for example 7 input cards installed (8 is empty), and you tried to select input 8, it too would ignore input 8.

Re: DM 8x8 Question

 

IIRC, its' documented in help and if it's like other Crestron products "out of range values are ignored" so I would expect the previous source to remain, and I'd be a little surprised if it logged an error.

On a 8x8 if I initialize to 9d on one of the Video outputs, does it just ignore it and keeps playing what ever it was playing?

Does it throw an error in the Log?

There should be two layers of crosspoints. One is between the interface
(xpanel) and the audio zone (kitchen). This is driven by audio zone
selection.

The next layer is from the audio zone to the source (Mirage). This is
driven by source selection, after the audio zone has been selected.

Both of these layers are mutually exclusive connections (interlocked) and
are independent of one another. The xpanel can connect to the kitchen,
then select mirage and control the volume of the kitchen zone and the
functions of the Mirage through the kitchen zone. It can also connect to a
different zone and select a different source. The kitchen zone would still
maintain it's connection to the Mirage source.

Let me start by giving Neil much love for the crosspoint flow charts. I
finally feel ready to tackle the topic.

Scenario-
xpanel turn on the kitchen audio zone and control the Mirage server.
My confusion comes in at the point of having the swampe as 1002d and the
mirage as 1001d (connection fed from an init to econn equipment id). How do
I keep the logic (volume up/ down, zone power, music selections) straight
when I have to hit my equipment ID first to make the connection to the
equipment before I let the logic for that device flow. Ie., zone power on,
select mirage, volume...... It feels like I would need a stepper for every
button to make/ switch the connection to the current equipment
respectively? (best practice?) If I hit volume + then every time I would
need to make the equipment id connection first to allow volume + to change
to the sonnex. Thanks in advance for the basic help

I just thought I would share in the phone call I got where a I was told by a products tech support that the only people who actually know how to control it are the people at Crestron.
