Re: D3 Scheduling squashed with latest DBs again???

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hi

In a way I¡¯m happy to read this as I have a project that is sending me bonkers with the scheduler not working.

It is a D3 program running on an AP4, which was on the latest FW, compiled on the latest software (although Toolbox was updated again about 2 weeks ago). After a reboot the next scheduled event will occur and after that no more will, even if you leave it to run at real time pace or if you change the internal clock to trick it. I have confirmed multiple times that the scheduler file is in the right location (D3 folder) and nowhere else.

I have the same program, modified, running on our test CP4. On this the events do occur both in realtime pace and forced by changing the clock, so go figure!

The only other deviation from our ¡®norm¡¯ is that I also have another small program running on slot 2 for heating control, just wondering if you might be using slot 2 too?

Crestron have my program running on their AP4 and have reported that the events all occur.

I am due to return to site soon to continue testing. But have currently modified the D3 generated Simpl file with a When as a work around. Our client is getting increasingly frustrated by the system ¡°failing¡±.

Let me know if you make any headway.

Regards

Justyn

I just updated to the latest D3 and DBs and it *seems* that the scheduler issue (that it doesn't run) is back. and the work-around isn't resolving it...I.E. no scheduler event is triggering...

Re: Autonomics Modules

 

Depends on what you are using it for, but my argument is that SONOS (in my experience) likes to drop network connectivity here and there. When it wants to work it works great, but nothing beats a hard wired connection with the Autonomics pieces.?

DirecTV HR-44 IR Control

 

Has anyone controlled one of these receivers successfully with IR? I am getting no control from the usual DTV files in the Crestron IR database. I am using a DMPS3-4K-350-C.

When I learn a command with the Crestron USB IR learner it will test OK from the USB dongle but will not operate the receiver when the IR file created with the tested code is loaded into a SIMPL program. Crestron TB tech was stumped by this and commented that their Crestron Certified Drivers for that model only included an IP control .pkg and no IR file. Whereas other DirecTV receivers had both IP control .pkgs and IR Files. This led him to think that maybe they were unable to create a usable IR control file for this model.?


Re: File /Aja Kumo.zip uploaded #file-notice

 

for: Sopheap OUK <sopheap.ouk@...>:

I finally figured out how to add the other 15 Inputs on the Analog Initialize (and get them to function), but occasionally when I'm re-loading for other reasons: I get an Error Message for Line 71:

"Aja Kumo.usp : Statement outside of function scope"

I'm not sure what to do, change, or correct here.

Do you (or does anyone) know what to type in to correct that line?

I'm kind of lost on this one.

Re: Calendar Based Event

 

There is a DAY-DATE module out there that will give you exactly the signals you need to trigger something onany given day of the year. Not sure where I got the module maybe it is in the file section here.?


Calendar Based Event

 

Hope you all keeping well.?
Does anyone had done a calendar based event trigger in SIMPL programming and VTpro xPanel?
Like i like to trigger event 1 on specific date at specific time and then event 1 again on different date and time? Like i can select all on xpanel?


Re: Running SIMPL debugger continuously

 

Also don't forget Cresteon Fusion which will pump whatever data you pick into a SQL table and the you can construct your data into PowerBi, works great for generating bigger pictures about system use, Errors, help requests, mic battery levels (anything). Then you can make in formed descisioms about correct system development or push training and information to change how users interact with the system and prove your results as time goes on


Re: Q-sys control module

 

Hi,

Do you still have these modules?


Re: Running SIMPL debugger continuously

 

Here it is! --
I just barely put it on GitHub this morning.? Any issues let me know.


Re: Route NAX AES67 audio to NVX analog output

 

Hi Tony,

I'm not sure if this really applies to your case, but I pulled this from my notes when I was trying to break audio from video when dealing with NVX360's on both ends (encoder and a decoder)...so this might not apply to your case since you have a different encoder... but I have a feeling it might help because you have at least the same type of decoder... Setting 1 below is essentially what you already mentioned on you original post. I hope it helps.

Setting 1:
Webinterface: Go to settings tab, look for Routing, under Input Routing section, Audio Source change to DM NAX Audio.?
SimplWindows: This setting on simplwindows is located under the main decoder symbol, look for AudioSource and its analog value should be 5.

Setting 2:
Webinterface: Go to settings tab, under DM NAX (AES67 Audio), look for the Receive portion of the configuration, and under Mode change from Automatic to MANUAL.
SimplWindows: This setting on simplwindows is located under DM NAX Routing, DM-NAX RX, SecondaryAudioMode and its analog should be 1.



Then during runtime, you can tell the NVX to show a video stream by sending a URL to "StreamLocation" serial signal under the main Decoder symbol and then you can tell the NVX to separately listen to another stream of audio on the "MulticastAddress" serial signal under DM NAX -> DM-NAX-RX.


Re: Route NAX AES67 audio to NVX analog output

 

Is analog audio mode set to extract?


Re: Route NAX AES67 audio to NVX analog output

 

Check that the audio mode is set to extract instead on insert. Go to the settings tab and the the routing tab, you¡¯ll see the audio mode section where you can make the change.


Re: Route NAX AES67 audio to NVX analog output

 

Take a look at the web UI of NVX. I believe there is a separate drop down/destination for the analog out. If I am right, there should be one in SIMPL too.


Re: Running SIMPL debugger continuously

 

Which debugger is that? Could you share more info about it?


Re: Running SIMPL debugger continuously

 

Do you have this in GitHub? I¡¯m interested


Re: Running SIMPL debugger continuously

 

If your program is not too busy and you just want to watch some signals in the debugger without the annoying logoff send this command in the text console: SETLOGOFFIDLETIME 0

This won't log you off but may crash at some point because let's be honest, Toolbox is the worst.?


Re: Running SIMPL debugger continuously

 
Edited

I wrote 3 SIMPL+ modules that will let you pipe an unlimited number of signals out to a single TCP port, and then I wrote a Python script for an external computer (RPi, PC, etc.) that will consume that TCP port and stream everything to an MQTT server.? (MQTT server can be thought of as a lightweight database server that doesn't save anything -- it's just a networked bag of variables in a tree hierarchy).? You can effectively watch with a tool like MQTT Explorer (for Mac) to see realtime values change, look at history, trends, of specific variables etc.

3 SIMPL+ modules because one's for Digital signals, one's for Analog signals, and one's for Strings.? You can expand the block to export up to 100 signals, and just use multiple blocks if you need more than 100 signals.? There's no limit to the number of blocks and they can all push to the same TCP server port.

I'd like to think it's pretty lightweight?? It does the bare minimum to get the data out, and doesn't overwhelm my own processor at all.? I'm watching several hundred signals 24/7 and using the MQTT to drive other scripts and automation outside of the Crestron processor environment.

I'm willing to share these modules


Re: Running SIMPL debugger continuously

 

I agree with Nathan that any debugging is not appropriate for your app, and DEFINITELY NOT CRESTRON DEBUGGER!!!
I highly recommend Nathan's debugger, and no, I don't get anything from him!... :)? ?It's just really good, way better than Toolbox Debugger....


Re: Running SIMPL debugger continuously

 

Hello Elliot,

You can try using C5 Debugger () to continuously log events, but its not really the recommended way to do it. The best way would be to create a custom library that can log specific events to a syslog/serilog type server. This would require writing custom code for each thing you want monitored and logged.
