Re: Crestron Friendly *NEW* Garage Door Openers
Andy Maxey
I have a Chamberlain WD822K that was pretty easily hacked to give me adequate control and feedback. Just parallel the hard button with a relay for open/close/stop/reverse. Under the cover there are two contacts that provide fully open and fully closed feedback.

The Mirage Module isn't locked so you can go in and root around to see what it's doing and if you want change it you can.

imho, there is no such thing as an "empty" string. all data has bytes.

Try it, you'll see that it doesn't work. \x00 is not an empty string,
it's a string with length 1 containing the character \x00. On Mon, Apr 2, 2012 at 4:05 PM, highfidelityinc <steve54@...> wrote: Let me preface this by saying I have not tried this. ?But I think the following work work. -- Jeremy Weatherford |

Re: Advice on best pricing and contract practices
Essentially at the time of the onsite visit the program is 90% or more done and the progress payment(s) combined with the down payment reflects that.
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
By the time the onsite visit comes around, for a "normal" project all I'm doing is ironing out little details, testing end-to-end functionality with the actual hardware/hardware configuration, figuring out how the protocol "really works" when the documented protocol doesn't. Learning IR remotes can also drop in here. About half the time this includes tweaking system behaviors that someone thought sounded good on paper but don't really make sense given the physical configuration of the room/how the user will actually use the system, etc. In other words, for a normal project, very little -- if any -- "actual programming" happens onsite it's more about quality assurance and finding installation issues that could be blamed on programming down the road. There have been times when the .SMW that leaves the jobsite at the end of the day is exactly the same as the .SMW that I arrived with at the beginning of the day, in other words: No surprises. I know there are some people who do 100% of the programming onsite, but I can't imagine working that way -- my office is too comfortable, and it seems like you'd be in the client's way far too long.

Dumb Serial Empty String Question
Heather Baiman
I feel like I should and or do know this yet can't get this right.
I'm looking to detect an empty string from a MMS-2 via a SIO. Double quotes doesn't work, neither does \x00. In particular, I am looking for when the first browse line of text coming from an MMS-2 is blank/empty. I want to enact other code when I detect this. When using their Rhapsody interface, if you employ a layout on a large touchpanel that is able to show the transports, current song meta data and the browse list full time (instead of subpaging it to death) after making a final selection on the Rhapsody source, the MMS clears the strings on the browse list. In my opinion, it looks like it did something wrong as opposed to just keeping you on the browse page you were actually browsing. I can make it repopulate by pressing the 'back' button when I see the empty string come in. How do I detect the emptiness? Heather Baiman heather@...

Re: Controllable Sonos style iTunes media player
The squeezebox, plus the controlworks module works faily well. You will need either a dedicated PC, or a ReadyNAS as the squeezecenter talking to the crestron, and the ReadyNAS in turn connects with the squeezebox. A little clunky sometimes, but tons of potential for a power user. A Request would work as well, they have actually turned a new leaf recently, and I actually think they are doing it right now.

Pioneer elite sc-05 and mpc-m10
eskuc
apologies in advance as I'm very new to this.
I'm trying to control a Pioneer Elite SC-05 through an MPC-M10 using the SC-05/SC-07 module from Crestron's website. The problem is that when I power the receiver off using the MPC, I lose the ability to power it back on and the feedback (true-from receiver) doesn't indicate that the power is off, it holds the most recent state (usually power on and input). When this happens I am still able to control inputs, but once I have used the Crestron to power the receiver off, I am unable to use it for power (on/off/toggle) unless I reload the program. any ideas or help will be greatly appreciated. |

Re: tpmc 10 connectivity
If the new router has anything different about it's IP scheme, meaning the gateway address, dhcp range, ssid, encryption, etc, then you need to enter these into the tpmc 10 setup screen. Press buttons 1,2,3,4 in succesion 2 times. The tpmc 10 was limited to the G band, (older ones were even on the B) If it was changed enough, then the control processor IP settings need to be updated as well. This would need a programmer.
