How do you locate the projects folder in Simpl Windows?

 

Seem to have double databases and want to remove those that are in the projects folder. It seems as if my usrmacro folder has replicated itself within the projects module folder. I cannot locate this to remove the duplicate macros.

TIA.

Re: I need help with Windows 7 fonts please....

 

if you still have access to the old XP computer, just copy the fonts to a
thumb drive and move them over to your new computer font folder.

Subject: [Crestron] I need help with Windows 7 fonts please....





I upgraded to Windows 7 from XP last week, and this weekend I noticed that
all my work in Vt-pro has some buttons in Hieroglyphics now...I figured that
most likely Windows 7 doesn't recognize the fonts it was written in, and
I'll have to download missing fonts and save them. At least I hope so, or
else I'll have to go over all the projects button by button.
Did anyone come across the issue before, and how to go about it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.


Re: Onsite HELP with Panasonic AW-HE50SN

 

You have to send to TCP/IP client something like this:

GET /cgi-bin/aw_cam?cmd=HZT&res=1 HTTP/1.1&#92;nHost:
192.168.0.6&#92;n&#92;n

Just read a post from Javier carefully...

Do you need to login to camera when you open the browser first time? If the answer is Yes, you have to add to headers an authorization - it is this part from Javier's headers: "Authorization: Basic YWRtaW4xOnBhbmFzb25pYw==" - of course this authorization string will not work for you.
This is one of the reasons You need to see what exactly is send by your browser to the camera. So it's time to run "Developer Tools" (Chrome) or HTTP HEADERS (Firefox) as has been said.

HI Javier,

The TCPIP client is set to the proper address, it is showing connected in debugger. But my commands don't seem to get thru.
Here is a sample command for the camera:



this string works in my browser but does not in my Serial I/O to my tcpip client.

What you have to do is create a TCP/IP Client on your program with the IP of the camera to the port 80 and then capture the HTTP-HEADERS with some extension and send them as tx$ to the TCP/IP Symbol

In Firefox you have an HTTP HEADERS extension
In Chrome you have Developer Tools to inspect, under NETWORK, directly the HTTP queries. All you have to do is see what is the "command" sent from your browser to perform the desired action (Ex. Zoom, Pan, etc..) and copy that HTTP HEADER query, full to an SIO connected to the TCP/IP ts$.

If the HTTP HEADER requires more than one line (almost always) just copy all the lines in a single one and add "&#92;n" to each part that needs to be a different line.

For example, to turn on a Projector that has IP capabilities, I used:
"GET /cgi-bin/proj_ctl.cgi?key=video&lang=e&osd=on HTTP/1.1&#92;nHost: 10.1.133.21&#92;nConnection: keep-alive&#92;nAuthorization: Basic YWRtaW4xOnBhbmFzb25pYw==&#92;n&#92;n"

This is a real example, try experimenting with Firefox extensions or Chrome developer tools to capture what string triggers which action.

iPad and Animations and other questions..

 

Hey Guys, Am I missing something or is there not a way to do a page flip animation with the Crestron Mobile - or Mobile Pro? (slide in/out left right, fold in half vertical/horizontal, book page turn, zoom in/out from middle, you know, all the transitions we have come to know and love on the iphone. I have some projects that a bare minimum would look really good with some animations. Or better yet expanded gesture control

My personal cool thought - have a page flip effect like when changing screens on the iphone/ipad (left/Right gesture) that as you flips changes pages/sub pages, and when the user stops on a particular page, it activates/routes the video to the display.

Anyways, if I am missing something, please let me know.

Also, does anyone know if there is a way to access the built in keyboard, rather than having to create one myself. I would love to Skin an P-IpodV Doc search page to look like you were browsing your own iDevice.

Thanks for the help!!

Just don¡¯t try using an MLX-3 (or anything else, for that matter) with an MC3 in SB. At least not unless you like questioning your sanity.

Or make sure you are send the dynamic graphic via serial join and make sure it has an extension that is known to work (JPG/GIF/BMP/PNG). Else the xpanel seems to take a while to make sure of what it is.

Re: SystemBuilder / MC3 programming issues

 

Yes! I actually had an issue after copying some programming from one keypad button to another. After I changed the logic, it would still control the lighting as programmed on the first one, whatever I did (removed the keypad from SB completely and reprogrammed).
What I ended up doing was rebuilding the complete project... for one button. Yeah, I know, I should have backed up, but for one simple copy-paste action?

Anyone having multiple problems with trying to get SystemBuilder created programs for MC3's to work properly - or to even get two builds that have the same problems (instead of a fresh batch of problems with every new build) - should note that your efforts will be in vain.

Especially if you're using RSD's.

Stop. Your only choices (at the moment) are to create your programs in SIMPL, or abandon the MC3 and go back to a 2 Series processor.

Tech support has indicated to me that they have no timeline as to when this will be rectified. The number of issues they have to deal with to fix this indicates to me that this may take quite a while.

Go have a beer. It may not be good for you, but at least it's soothing.

Re: Controllable Sonos style iTunes media player

 

Autonomic is the best bet and my preferred player as it's self contained.

If you have a PC or Mac that is always on and managing the iTunes, you could use any of the Logitech Squeezeboxes in their varied flavors, it just requires that you have the Squeezebox server running either on a dedicated rig, or a NAS.

Has anyone dealt with controlling this via a Crestron CHV-TSTAT so that the HVAC can be properly staged and controlled (they currently have compteing heating sources.)

We have the option to replace the system with something if we know it can be easily integrated. Anyone use anything like this (18,000 BTU) and can control from Crestron.
Maybe even something that has another form of interface or com port (RS232/485)

the program and IP 192.168.1.2 in the Eye 12 ethernet setup. Subnet mask is
255.255.255.0

Quite often when zooming and focusing the power off feedback goes low for a

times the unit just powers off by itself. I inserted a mini switch into the

there was no change.

Any idea as to what might be the problem or what I am doing wrong?
