I have logged into my Crestron Residential Dealer Account, and I cannot find Legacy Tools anywhere in their long list of downloads.

I also logged into their FTP site, hunted around, and could not find anything.

Google & Crestron site search also gave me a bunch of people saying you need the Legacy Tools, but no link.

Any clues where I can get it? It seems like it has disappeared.

Thanks

Re: Talking to Innotech controllers via activex?

 

I know this is an old thread, but do you remember where you found documentation for the API? I'm able to setup the COM object but don't know where to go from there in regards to any functions calls, etc.

Thanks Jeremy,
I have now managed to get this working. I wrote an application in
visual basic to talk to a .ocx file supplied by innotech. Then I
forwarded the data by using the activeCNX.ocx to talk to an activeCNX
interface on a Adagio system.The hardest part is getting the
activeCNX.ocx to connect to the interface, you don't need to use the
Crestron Gateway server as I first thought. You can connect directly
to the activeCNX interface by setting both the gateway and the i.p.
address on the activeCNX.ocx to the Crestron processor.

ActiveX isn't actually a communication protocol. If they provide a

can then talk to your translator application from Crestron via a
custom TCP/IP protocol, or using the e-Script stuff (not so familiar
with that, sorry).

BARCO Transform N example program via TCP/IP

 

Does anyone have any experience controlling a Barco video wall using IP
commands through telnet TCP/IP?

If there is anyone that can send me the example programs, and the commands
for controlling, I ?ll be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: LOVE this Crestron Samsung TV APP

 

I've also dreamed of a day when some sort of programmable OSD was integrated into a DM switch in some way. Having it in the RMC would be nice, but it would also be useful to have as an input card on the DM switch. That way you could associate an OSD with a source, like an IDOC or AUDIONET card. That source card could be switched to any TV and provide OSD control without having it built into each RMC. Things like volume feedback would certainly work best built into an output card or an RMC.

Subject: [Crestron] Reading Lutron Homeworks Illumination Output Strings

Having issues with Lutron to Crestron.
We are using a very old CNMSX-PRO with an equally old ST-COM connected
to a Lutron Homeworks Illumination Panel via RS-232, and having some
problems reading data from the Lutron correctly.
We know that when looking for strings coming out of Lutron, passing into
the ST-COM, we can correctly identify the string as an example, for the
Living Room Keypad Button in the following format, which matches up with
the Lutron documentation:
KBP, [01:06:07], 10&#92;r
Just to clarify, we have logic on the ST-COM that says "when we see the
following string, go turn on the fireplace."
Here is an explanation of the string:
Keypad Button Press (KBP)Processor 1 (01)Link 6 (06)Keypad ID 7
(07)Button 10 (10)Carriage Return (&#92;r)
The above works perfectly.
However, when we try other Keypads with other fireplaces, we get failure
to recognize the strings. After troubleshooting a little, it appears
that if the Keypad ID has double digits (like 10, 14, 16, etc), it
doesn't work. I suspect one of three things:
1. Although Lutron should be sending out ASCII, for some reason it is
sending out some other format (we cannot use SIMPL debugger to verify).
It should be noted that for a Keypad ID of 10 as an example, none of the
following worked placed into the ST-COM (note we are trying decimal,
ASCII, and hex). Also see screenshot down below.
KBP, [1:6:10], 5&#92;r KBP, [01:06:10], 5&#92;rKBP, [01:06:0A], 5&#92;r
None of the above work at all.
2. The second possibility is that the Crestron is not correctly
translating the ASCII it is receiving, therefore not turning on the
fireplace.
3. Maybe we need to set some options on the ST-COM Module, that I am not
aware of. I tried to see if there is a way under "Configure Device" to
set it for ASCII, Hex, or Decimal, but there is no option like that.
What I really want to do, is monitor what the Crestron is really seeing
from the Lutron Panel when certain Lutron Keypad buttons are pressed,
but I think I need to use SIMPL Debugger for that. Since we cannot use
Toolbox, and therefore SIMPL Debugger with this CNMSX-PRO, we are stuck.
I tried using Toolbox and could not get it to work. Crestron verified
that Toolbox will not work with our CNMSX-PRO.
Please see Lutron documentation here:

Re: Develop New Core3 iPad/iPhone App with Custom Graphics? Guess Again....

You can load custom graphics, just not custom controls. That doesnt meen you cant create a media player that looks how you want it too

Here's the highlights from the True Blue FAQ regarding the App, but basically if you had any intent to use something other that the stock controls Crestron gives you, you are completely SOL...

So much for "make your iPad work just like your TSW series panels"...

Unsupported Features due to iOS restrictions:

¡¤ Custom Controls

¡¤ Custom Fonts (Only built-in transport fonts and Arial are supported)

Known Issues:

SSL on 3-series control systems requires 3-series firmware 1.007.0014 or later.

Authentication not supported on 2-series control systems.

The app will exit if you attempt to load a project to the iOS device after a cancelled upload. Restart the app and try again.

RSS Feed control will not show images.

Notification pop-up allows presses to go through to any pressable controls underneath.

Custom controls created with the Smart Graphics SDK are not allowed on the iOS platform. This is due to Apple restrictions.

Custom fonts are not allowed on the iOS platform. Built in Arial and Crestron Transport fonts are allowed. This is due to Apple restrictions.
