Hi guys,

I'm relatively new to crestron programming...

I've done some SB and SIMPL... SIMPL+ also.

So far so good... I'm working on a Home Theatre for a friend ... It'll be a pro2 with an Ipad... His home was done with KNX and there is a crestron knx gateway fully programmed on a QM-RMC... I'd like to integrate the hometheatre part with the KNX part (already done)... we asked about the sources files for the QM-RMC... But i've received an archive with a BAK extension...

Where do i open this kind of file ?

I went on TB but didn't find an answer... maybe they talked about it during training but i forgot... So I thought about the forum and decided to give it a try...

Can someone please tell me how to open the bak file ?


Thank you,

S.

We use a Windows 2008 server for development located in our office. It's an
HP dl360 server with 10gb of memory and dual processor 2.33 ghz Xeon quad
core. Very fast and always available when onsite or from home or the
office. Even if my laptop is misbehaving remote desktop usually works
great.

I picked up the server off of eBay for about 800$ and it supports a couple
of programmers and some office staff. The biggest downfall is we can only
have one copy of vt pro running at a time but with just two programmers it
really hasn't been that big of a deal.

Best part is we can use cheap little disposable laptops and still have the
power of quad core and 10gb of memory available to us.

Subject: [Crestron] HELP WITH MLX-3





I've been playing with this remote over the weekend. It's been specified into a job and it's the first time I've coded one.
r
My preliminary testing suggests that if I seed the unit with serial text and the size of the list dynamically it works rather well using the built in scroll wheel and feedback.

But the unit does allow you to use your own scrolling list outside of the remote.

Anyone know of any advantage to using the built-in scrolling functionality vs external, roll your own list logic?

I don't have an issue coding the list external to the remote. It just seems unnecessary, based upon my testing. Being a lone coder, I may be missing something so I figured I'd take advantage of the board's experience to confirm or challenge my conclusion.

Secondarily, how have others solved the problem of page up and down with devices such as Squeezebox, the Autonomic MMS or an iPod that requires page up/down commands? I've chosen to provide an extra 2 buttons, one at the top for page up, and the other at the end of the list for page down. Within those 2 fixed button strings the dynamic text resides.

I removed the channel presets from the DVR page, substituting missing buttons such as page up/down and day up/down.

For BD I followed a path above, including buttons such as home, audio, subtitle that are not on the remote.

Anyone coding this as a global control device? I suspect it's inevitable that sales will demand this, even if the iPad is a better UI for global control. I've found HVAC and shades relatively easy to make global, lighting has been a problem in terms of seeding the page flip from the room crosspoint. A scrolling list of rooms connecting to a list of sources sounds rather familiar to those of us coding the Adagio.

I just cannot fathom why someone would offer this UI as anything but a single room control device.

Anyway, any thoughts on the first part, using the built-in scrolling list on the remote vs using code external to the remote, would be appreciated.

TIA,

Alan

That's funny. I've been training my gf as well. She knows the difference
between simpl windows and vt pro she doesn't get the logic yet but she
understands symbols and cross points. She heard me cussing cross points a
few times and wanted to know what was pissing me off lol.

She knows cars really well so typically if I can come up with a car
scenario using the logic she understands it. Go figure.

Hi, Y'all,

Just to update you guys on this post. The Hopper remote has a switch in the battery compartment to switch the remote to IR. I will learn the remote for all and post it when I get back on site.

FYI, Kim

Yes, this is a new box from EchoStar, . Whole new remote and interface. It's always something to screw things up. The setup says it can do both IR and UHF. No unit codes like the old ones. Just says IR enable and disable in the menu. I'll give them a call and see what they can do for us and let you all know. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there who will be needing the info soon.

Sorry, just saw you said you already tried them.

If you press menu, menu on the dish remote. Does it have an IR address? Maybe default is not address 1. I have driver for 1,3,and,5 if that helps.

That's why a lot of use multiple crosspoint connect symbols, normally one for each touch panel, that way you just leave the panel connect and change equipment. Although, disconnect all disconnects EVERY symbol, just not the one you pulse it on. Thus the warning, I believe.

I was about to call hogwash on that, but as it turns out, my disconnect_all actually connects to DiscFromC. I find that one very handy, and probably the one he wants. I find that much easier than trying to remember which device was connected previously.

Your welcome.

I think almost everyone in the group has gone through that problem(or similar).
Also, the InUse signal does not always stay high, it has a tendency to go low for a couple of waves(at least in my experience) when connecting a new controller to an equipment cross point. I use a ROS and an AND to make sure that it stays high until the inuse has gone low for X seconds.

I doubt you will need this info, but stay away from DiscAll. It will reek nothing but havoc on a system. Good if you want to break the system, but I have yet to find a good use for it.

I was doing Disc EC.?? I figured it would reset everything before reconnecting.?? 1, to 101.??

If you are using Disconnect only, it only Disconnects the numbers it the equipment/controller values.
For EX:
E:100
C:1
Disconnect
Connect
Disconnects E100 and C1
Then connects E100 and C1

If you use DiscFromC it will disconnect all the equipment from the selected controller. This should give you the result you are looking for.

For Ex:
E:101
C:1
DiscFromC
Connect
Disconnect all Equipment from C1
Then connect E101 and C1
