Thanks all for the answers I will try this rounding in simpl and report my results.

Re: Degree symbol ASCII on TP (non-core 3)

Heath Volmer
 

There you go! Thanks Chris

I got 248 both from Crestron's ASCII chart and from various google
searches. At that point, I didn't think of looking at character map,
figuring that something was wrong with the font / mobile pro.

Try ASCII 176 (decimal) for the degree symbol, that's the standard mapping
in most GUI-era font sets (e.g. Arial).

When in doubt, check the codes in Character Map, which will show you the
actual font-level character mappings. It looks like Crestron's ASCII
conversion chart in SIMPL help needs to be updated, as it includes line and
fill characters which haven't been in wide-spread use for quite some time.
I'm assuming that's where you got the 248 from?

Re: apple tv control methods

I built a module for the AppleTv box as well and am seeing the same issue with feedback. When i look at the xml file that is sent back it shows it the same way. Not sure its the module and not related to the AppleTV itself. I am working on adding more feedback and have added as many shortcut keys as i have verified are working. Up to about 10 right now.

The aTV Flash (black) 2.0 Media Player also has metadata fetching enabled and it will start displaying pictures from the current playing artist, ext. I wonder it this doesn't put my crappy network under stress. However with it disabled the album art doesn't update.

Re: Tstat change 74,3 degrees to 74

 

and if you do want to round, no S+ needed. It isn't that difficut to do 'SIMPL' rounding. Take the remainder from the divmod though an acomp, If greater than 5 add one to the quotient (abufs to select a 0 or 1 addend -> an asum) and use an aos to tigger the sequence.

Hi all,

I just changed my house from a HAI thermostat that output nice even
numbers like 74 or 76 degrees to the CHV-TSTAT and it outputs 74.3 or 75.1

Is there an easy thing like a ascale with the right settings that will
take the 75.1 or 751 and just convert it to 75 so I can keep all my
touchpanels and iphone projects the same?

I am thinking there is an easy way but its slipping my mind.

Re: Come On Crestron WTF - 3 hrs to change an IR file!!!!!

Doug Guth
 

I had almost the exact same thing happen to me last month. But since I'm
not a Master programmer it took me 4-hours! Customer asked for a simple IR
file update for a projector replacement. I updated the processor code to
control the projector but when I went to compile the code the new Crestron
database does not contain the original ASPI module for the EF-200 phone
hybrid. I downloaded the new module and incorporated it into the program.
I thought that was it until the customer asked that I update their
Corporate Logo on the Opening Page of their TPS 4500 touch panel. I edited
the touch panel program and loaded it into the touch panel. Bad decision!!
The touch panel failed to load the new code and then woke up with Can't
find page�. Yikes, I'd killed their system!! And they had a big meeting the
next day! I updated the firmware in the touch panel and the Crestron CNMSX
Pro processor but the touch panel still would not load the files. Out of
desperation I went on the FTP site and downloaded the 2.3xxx version of
Vision Tools Pro e, reworked the touch panel files, recompiled the touch
panel program. This time the panel loaded the files and worked properly.
Wow, it was 5:30pm, just in time to drive to my 5:00pm appointment!

Re: Tstat change 74,3 degrees to 74

 

Heather is right. there's a bit of Simpl+ already in every Tstat module.
Import the module, find the code, and change the rounding values.

Re: Degree symbol ASCII on TP (non-core 3)

 

I just opened up a tstat panel and I have no idea what symbol/letter/number cretsron used to get it. But my thinking is you could copy and paste it into simpl to add on to the end of the string. It will copy n paste to notepad, so it should do the same on a string.

OT: Awesome Spec

 

I was googing the for a spec sheet on a Leviton product I was considering to tidy up the CATV DEMAC and I came across a division 16 construction spec.

That looks pretty normal. Until you get to Section 3.4:


3.4 INSTALLATION OF DOOR BELL



A. Install doorbell buttons at front door. Install chime as directed.



B. Acceptance Tests: Utilize certified doorbell testing service with a minimum 15 years professional experience. Test all button locations simultaneously with the following protocol. At 3:21 AM, the night after Owner has moved in, depress button with 2.24 lbs. of lateral force while wearing a black ski mask and carrying a 24" blood stained axe. Repeat this action until Owner answers the door. If no one answers door, determine if bell is active and continue testing.



My first thought as I was reading is "there are certified doorbell testing services?" then I kept reading.
