module help please

 

Hi Guys


I have a marine fish tank at home controlled by Crestron, I have a pump that auto fills the tank. What I would like is a module that does the following, I think it will have to be done in simpl plus which I am hopeless at.


Inputs:

High Level closes when water level reached.

Low Level?opens when low level reached.

Output:

Close to run pump open to stop.

Close if tank does not fill. (used to send a text)

Timer:

Times how long to fill from low level to high level.

Output$

The current timer value in seconds.

My theory being to avoid overfilling and the fill pump running dry the timer will learn how long it takes to fill and auto shut off the pump when the timer expires. I would like a maximum fill time which is fixed that monitors the high level switch and shuts down the system if the tank has not filled, meaning the fill tank has run dry or the pump has failed.


I hope this makes sense, also interested in anyone who has done marine tank control before as I think its a rather nice use of Crestron as long as you have fail safe in your programming to avoid floods.


Thanks Guys

I have used this product a few times and it works.
Price for programming question

Hi,

I was a member many years ago and have just come back to this great group.?


I used to have a ST1550C way back then and the guy in NY that I bought it from gave me the software so I learnt how to programme it myself etc. It served me very well for the years I used it.


Fast forward a few years and I have just built a home theatre room in my new house. I picked up a TPMC-8X-GA and a AV2 very cheap off eBay. It had been pullled from a theatre room and hardly been used.?


I then contacted a local company to get a quote to program it all up for me (as I don't have Toolbox and my software is 10yrs old) and they gave me a quote.?


I want to control:


RS232 - Sony VPL-VW500ES

RS232 - Meridian 861 (2 way)

RS232 - Oppo 105D (2 way)


IR - Cable box

IR - Tivo

IR - Xbox One

Itunes module


I got a quote back for US$3000 and they would add the iPad layout. They said I would likely get sick of the TP very quickly compared to an Ipad. They would do the layout in 1024x 748 and then scale it down to 800 x 600 for the TP. ??


My question is to those of you who know.....Does this quote sound fair? I thought it was a little high.


They are going to use an existing layout they have used in the past (and I like it) so to me there isn't a great deal of work involved for them.?


If I had the software I would just do it myself but of course that's mission impossible these days so if I want it programmed I have no option but to use someone. The only bad thing (apart from the cost) about that is every time I change something in my theatre so I have to go back to them with my wallet open.?


I appreciate any thoughts you have.?
Re: issue loading core 3 crestron app file

 

got it. rebooting the processor fixed the issue.
Re: Sony evi-d camera processor

[email protected]
 

here is what I know(1 do not have complete visca protocol)
In the modules the evi-d procesor is used in-- the zoom speed parameter fields in the argument definition are predefined as having values of 1-7 and 25(Default) so don't see a 24 as being possible but in the ?string that works(without camera processor) the zoom speed is 2. It seems weird to me that the speed should be 1thru 7 and then jump to 25 as a default, but 24 getting spit out is even weirder.?
issue loading core 3 crestron app file

 

Hi Guys,


I am trying to load core 3 crestron app file on to the pro3's compact flash card. It seems to keep timing out after few seconds.?


I tried loading via toolbox by webpage and mobility projects on to the compact flash.?


Any help would be great.
MXW-920i + 433GHz

 

Have any of you successfully integrated the new MXW-920i with a 433GHz gateway?? I've got my CNRFGWA with an ST-1550C defined at ID-20 in Simpl, and have defined an MXW-920 in CCC and thrown RF ID 20 Joins from Aux->Crestron (RF Panel Emulation) on it, but am getting nothing back in debugger.?

I know all the examples shared here so far have been for 418GHz gateways with an MT-1000 and MXW-920 (not the 'i'), but the MXW-920i? is what I have, and I'm hoping I can make it work without having to ask it to be replaced.

Re: Serial Ram

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I would argue that instead of #DECLARE_NONVOLATILE, the better approach is to explicitly define the global variables you want to be nonvolatile as such

?

e.g.

?

NONVOLATILE STRING x[255];

NONVOLATILE INTEGER y;

etc.

?

Rather than making /everything/ nonvolatile ¨C frequently I want something to ¡°stick around¡± but I don¡¯t want/need the permanence of writing it to a file ¨C and the potential contention headaches that can create using NVRAMDISK (at least on 2-series processors¡­haven¡¯t looked into it on the 3-series yet)

?

Either that or use the #DECLARE_NONVOLATILE compiler directive.?

Your S+ variables will be stored in NVRAM and recalled on reboot.?

?

Id suggest Heath's concept as well though. Write/read to/from a file.?

Just thinking about it some more. It really does not need to store permanently.
Just retain the value set in a string in the event of power failure.
Wouldn't
#DEFAULT_NONVOLATILE

do this for me.

just want to keep the stored password in the event power is lost.

I absolutely love the Open architecture in Biamp DSP's, we have been usind the TesiraFORTE line exclusively since it has been released. The crestron module works really well, and is easy to implement.
Re: NEC NP-PA500U Intermittent communication

 

On a lighter note, I would like to post a follow up regarding this problem for reference. ?After slowing the baud rate down to 9600 and changing the module to the np2000 module as mentioned in previous posts, everything from a control stand point appears to be rock solid. ?However, the one item I did notice was that the lamp hours were not reporting correctly. ?The feedback on the touch panel was exactly double that of what the lamp hours read in the projector menu. ?I was able to fix this issue by using an analog divmod. ?Once this was done, now the lamp hours are feeding back to the touch panel correctly.
Now Playing On Media Player Stops Updating

[email protected]
 

Hello,


Has anyone had trouble with Now Playing information in SmartGraphics failing to update after switching between outputs on an Autonomic MMS-2? ?


I jolted it into working by putting the two outputs on different IP IDs in my program. ?It then continued working when I went back down to one symbol on one IP ID.


Crestron said that they have not heard of this issue. ?I am running the latest released firmwares. ?This is nothing else in this program or on this network. ?I am mostly trying to evaluate how stable this is before rolling it out to clients.


Thanks,

Matt
Re: BiPad alternative

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Thanks!

Since I typically don't deal with 70v speakers so I wasn't aware of the SAT-70V product.??

I had thought about using a Swamp with an SWE-8 to drive 70v amplifiers but it seemed a waste to throw away the 8 amplified channels on the SWAMP-24x8.? The SAT-70 gets around that problem

Thanks again

Crestron makes an AAE or SWAMP system if you need Crestron audio zones. Just add the SAT-70V/100V-4 for 70 volt speakers.

OT: DisplayPort Extender

 

I need to run DisplayPort out of the loop out on a Samsung ME-C Monitor into another 25-35 feet away. The catch is we'll be running through a plenum space, and the loop out is native DisplayPort and doesn't support passive converters.


DM-TX-401-C is overkill, and cost may rule it out.

I've been looking at the Extron DTP T DP 230, but it's not due until the end of November, and I can't get a confirmation that it will work with a native DisplayPort signal with an HDMI receiver on the other end (and the DTP DisplayPort receivers aren't due until the end of January).


Does anyone know of any good DisplayPort to HDMI converters that don't require Dual Mode support?

Alternately, does anyone know of some long plenum-rated DisplayPort cables?

It is a one way serial with volume cotroll and analog fb.

I have tested it and it works :)
