Re: D3 Pro not loading
Yep, I get this too. ?No one at Tech support has ever seen it, and if you ask them, you and I are the only ones with that problem. ?I'm not sure why your machines doing it, but I can tell you what I have to do to work around it..... all the time.
Explanation: I use a separate folder for all my user IR drivers. ?In the simpl directories I have that folder selected, and then I can see all my IR drivers I've collected and made over the years when I'm working in Simpl. ?The only way I know how to fix this D3Pro error, temporarily, is to go into the directories in Simpl Windows, change the user IR folder to the default IR database folder, then go back and try opening D3Pro again. Works for me every time. ?But after every job I have to go back in and put it back to the right folder otherwise my Simpl thinks all the IR drivers for a job are missing. ?You can also put it back to the right folder after D3Pro has fully opened. ?I've never had an IR file in a D3Pro project though, so I'm not sure what would happen there. But thats what I've been doing for almost a year now, and NO ONE else has ever seen it, and I was told I'm the only one on the planet with that problem. ?I can't see how thats right. ?I must be doing something different than everyone else. If you find a real fix, let me know! Stephen D. |

Re: Can I turn ICMP off?
Another reason why Crestron needs to implement NAT traversal comm services into it's firmware that can be used for the Crestron app at minimum. It is already partially implemented as part of the MyCrestron portal but needs to be extended. If their competitors can do it then Crestron should as well. Maybe at CEDIA...

Cute Logic Story
This talk about ANDs and ORs reminded me of one of my previous blood donations. One of the medical screening questions was, "In the past three years, have you been outside the US or Canada?"? I answered "Yes". The nurse asked me where I went and I told her that I had not left the US in the past three years. She asked why I answered "Yes". I said that it's an OR question. "...Have I been out of the US OR Canada?"? I'm outside of Canada right now. So I answered "Yes".? Logically, one cannot answer "No" to this question unless they have been straddling the border for the past three years.? I knew the intent of the question but, being a programmer, I answered it logically. Interestingly, there was a hand-out at the blood bank about foreign travel with the heading "Notice to people who traveled outside the US and Canada." The person who wrote the notice got the logic correct.? How many of us have gotten burned by misunderstanding the AND and OR logic?

Re: Prevent a button from being pushed too quickly
button press triggers one-shot (1 second) and also goes to input of buffer that is enabled by out* of one-shot that is delayed by one logic wave. ?use output of buffer for what happens on button press. press button, buffer output goes high for 1 logic wave and is disabled for the next 1 second. ?You could use out of one-shot for button feedback, showing the button active for the 1 second after the press. Press1>>OS trig Press1>>BUF in1 OS out*>>LWD in LWD out>>BUF enable BUF out1>>additional logic that is triggered by the press To prevent retrigger because button is held for longer than 1 second use a LWP with 2d parameter between the button and the OS and BUF.

I know there is a symbol for this... Say I don't want someone to be able to push a button quicker than once a second. ?What do I put in-between that signal to ignore the presses after the first press? |

D3 Pro not loading
Just fired up D3 on my desktop for the first time in a bit and it starts loading and then I get the message: General database error: (D3userDB). I click on "ok" and then everything closes. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but get the same thing. I've deleted the D3userDB file, same outcome. On my laptop all is fine using the exact same file. Anybody else ever experience this? I've got TB looking into it but hoping maybe somebody here could shed some light. Both machines i7, Win 7 Pro 64. TIA |

Re: Adagio AES/AADS Remote Ethernet Processing Module - Does such a beast exist?
I'd use an EISC, and define the code in the processor. On Thu, Sep 10, 2015 at 2:23 PM, crestrongroup@... [Crestron] <Crestron@...> wrote:

Re: Beginner help, tips about visualisation needed
I'll look at that as well, thanks.
I should mention that I may have been spoiled regarding the visualisation aspect of this because in the two years between attempting Crestron I taught myself how to program for Loxone which has a relatively much more visual approach to programming |

You might try reading about the Pseudocode Programming Process. It's something I've started doing with all of my Simpl# code but have found that it also helps with complicated Simpl logic. An added bonus in Simpl# is that the comments are done before you start programming.

Re: Beginner help, tips about visualisation needed
It can sound kind of obvious and it is the methodology they emphasise in the training but
Input > operation > output. Break the whole project down into 'chunks', generally in systems there can be a lot of repetition but with slight changes in signal names and depending on equipment processes.? I am also like Lincoln in that I tend to talk it out and write it down in plain English then at each point work out what i need to accomplish.? I am also a big proponent of the 'Rubber Duck Debugging' approach found here?
? ?.... i just tend to do it quietly or my collegues / the client thinks i've gone mental.I tend to work backwards though, 1) What is the desired result / what am I trying to achieve? 2) what conditions and operations do i require? 3) what is the minimal amount of input required to achieve this? Initially when i started with Crestron i would think in terms of symbols, and either physically or mentally draw them out to try and visualise the signal path but actually that got me into a pickle plus when do you ever actually see the logic path neatly in SIMPL with all the symbols open anyway? if you break down the logic into plain english you soon realise that certain arrangements of symbols create the 'plain english' version of the logic e.g? IF any inputs (OR) IF X and Y (AND) X and Y and Z must not (AND > NOT) X must stay on until turned off (SET/RESET) The beauty is that like most things there are a number of ways to get to grips with SIMPL and logic in general, as long as the logic works then that is the correct way, as you spend more and more time with it you may realise that there is another way that borrows on some logic you used previously and that is now working more efficiently, then brilliant, use that from now on.? Use comments if you do something out of the ordinary this : A) helps when you come back to it or if in another project you require similar behaviour you can see why that worked and if you can tweak it to do what you want this time B) helps anyone else who may have to look at the project in the future Generally get amongst it, the more you do the more you learn how you work and what works for you. |

Re: Beginner help, tips about visualisation needed
Andrew Welker
There was a beta app (not an official Crestron app, but created by someone internal to the company) that allowed for visualization like you are talking about. I can't remember the name of the app or where to get it at the moment, but maybe someone else on the list has heard of the same thing.
