Re: New Processors/Software and Modules Issues?

 

Okay, I just opened a QM-RMC program with several encrypted Simpl and Simpl+ modules, and replaced the processor with a PMC3-XP (there's no such thing as a "PMC2+-XP"). Saved the new program and it compiled fine, with no errors.

Perhaps there's something else wrong with your program?

Re: Bell 9241 PVR - IR driver required (remote is IR/UHF)

 

OK, I have the solution here. By default the remotes for these Bell PVR's are set to UHF (Pro), and to change it over to IR is something they don't care to make obvious, but if you ever run into this then follow these steps.

1) Remove the remote's battery cover.
2) With the remote face-up, pull down on the oval-shaped portion below the Bell logo. This is the key. You might have to push a fingernail along the curved crease below the logo to loosen the key. Remove the key by grasping at the bottom, and pull it straight out.
3) One side of the key is coloured silver (UHF), the other side is black (IR). To operate the remote in IR mode, simply reinsert the key black-side up.
4) Replace the battery cover.

"sigh"....... why do the simplest of things end up taking the longest to do!?!?!

TV One Option connection

mjrtoo2000
 

Has anyone worked with a TV One scaler (in this case a C2-2355a) connected via the option cable to an S2-105PCA? If so, can you confirm that if you set the output of the C2 to any RGB input 1) Does it automatically set the S2 to the input you select? 2) Does it automatically switch the C2 to the RGB input?

Just getting the framework together for a system and the protocol/documentation is confusing to me.

Thanks,

Re: Brute-force parsing of an XML stream ? (cc128 Current Cost)

seismicsound174
 

Hi Marc,

We have that device in here in Australia where it's called WattsClever.

I wrote a module that parses the stream using nothing but SIMPL.
Gather on 47d ("/"). Use an STOA for each XML tag that you want to read then convert the ASCII characters to analogs using your choice of method as taught in Intermediate class... use an ARAM to store the analogs for further processing.

The only complication is the yearly value which has more than 5 digits (bigger than a 16-bit analog).

Enjoy - maybe it'll help to get people to turn the oven off when they don't need it... ;-)

Hey Group,


I'm working on a CurrentCost Envi cc128 device. It's a power meter, and its RS232 output can (and will) spit power consumption data.

It outputs a realtime and short xml stream whenever it gets a reading from one of its meters.

It also outputs a set of possibly very long xml data sets every two hours.



I'm parsing the "realtime" data just fine. I even put together a cool little graph using the Google Charts module from XXXXX.


Problem is, now I gather the string and search for the tags i'm looking for. I suspect that won't work with the very long xml for daily, weekly and monthly data.

I'm not willing to parse and store all the data. Far from that, I'm only willing to retrieve one or two days of hourly history, one or two weeks, and one of two months. The idea is to generate history charts for one hour, one day, one week, one month. Well, maybe one year too.

For that I should read data as it flows through my module. How would you gurus do that ?

Re: Does anyone know the number or HDMI keys that the "new" Mac Mini provides?

Josh
 

When/if you find out, let us know. We recently had a project with Mac Mini's on DM distribution. They worked fine for months, and then stopped working. Everything pointed to HDCP key issues. Oddly enough, it appeared to only happen when iTunes was launched. We think that an iTunes or OS update from Apple implemented some kind of HDCP enable on the output when iTunes is running. You could try a key-stripper, but chances are that may stop working at any moment and you're back to square one.

After several rounds of e-mails, I've gotten my official response from Apple
regarding the number of HDCP keys afforded by the 'll Mac Mini. Translated,
it reads: "We have no idea (what you are talking about)." The best (i.e.
most AND least funny) response I got was a suggestion to ask Crestron, or
another 3rd party device manufacturer (i.e. of HDMI matrix switchers), for
the answer. And this was from their "engineers."

Pathetic...

But, less and less surprising coming from Apple, IMO.

Re: Refreshing XSIG's when one processor reboots or goes offline.

enco.josh
 

I just finished a project where I had an AV2 communicating with two prodigy systems over UDP. I played around with a lot of complicated logic solutions to keep the two in sync, but I eventually found a simple solution that was very stable. I used the Activity Detection Device Extender from the UDP connection and a heartbeat on each side.

The activity signal drives an SIO of &#92;xFC to the RX$ of the XSIG, and a NOT of the activity signal also drives an SIO of &#92;xFC to the RX$ of the XSIG. Also, an oscillator (1t hi_time, 5s, lo_time) drives the first digital input on the XSIG. I set the activity detection period to 11s to allow the systems to miss one heartbeat signal with out doing a resync, but that tolerance is up to you.

If you put this logic on both processors, it will make sure both sides are always in sync. I can post an example program, but I think this is easy enough to understand. All you need is an XSIG, UDP/IP Connection with Activity Detection Device Extender, 2 SIOs, OSC, and a NOT.

--- In Crestron@..., "yellowfin684" <jaredhaleck@...> wrote:

I have two processors where I am using the XSIG symbols to communicate between the two. The problem of course with the older XSIG symbol is that they don't force the signals to stay in sync if one processor reboots or drops off line. From reading the help doc on the XSIG symbol, it looks like you can update or clear the values of the XSIG using &#92;xFD or &#92;xFC respectively. I have been tinker with updating the signals, but with no luck.

Would anyone have an example program on how to do this properly and efficiently?

Also, I understand I could issue the update command on system start of either of the processors, but what about if one of the processors simply goes off line. Is there a socket signal I can monitor to track the online status of a processor? I've looked but I must be looking in the wrong place.

Lastly, is there any reason to use the clear command to clear all the signals when trying to keep these in sync? Wouldn't I just want to issue update commands.
