Re: DVPHD control

cyberbri24
 

if you are only planning on using the program (simpl) to control it and not as an actual touchpanel, you only need to create a VTPro project as a DVPHD and draw the video windows on a page or two. It is fully customizable. last one I did was connected to a DM switch so all the routing was done there and I used the DVP for a quad screen, dual, single.

I have got the demo program and would like to do the following.

side by side), I would then like to select which input should go to those
windows.
From what I can tell, 10d (input 1) - 80d(input 8) selects inputs, but
what join on the DVPHD symbol do I send these to? ie which join relates to
which window 1 to 8?
In the demo program it kinda seems like analog fb 1 - 8 could possibly be
windows 1- 8? This part has me a little confused...

Any guidance is much appreciated, this cant be hard, I'm clearly just
missing something simple.

Re: Anyone have a Denon DN-V310 IR driver?

 

I could do one-way IR as well, but the soldering of the pins to the DB9 is beyond their technical ability. :)

Re: Help with Simpl+ Undefined variable error

 

And that tidbit is buried in the help....
Which reminds me of something vaguely related that I thought worth posting

wait() (and iirc cancelwait/retimewait) functions do not "take effect" immediately; they
manipulate a queue that is processed when the calling task is switched out [disclaimer:
cant be bothered to hunt for the exact wording].

So for example, if you manipulate wait() tasks in a loop, they may not end up working
as you had planned. Not as I had once planned, anyway. During heavy load on
a direct socket it would all of a sudden execute a wait codeblock that had "clearly"
been cancelled long before the time expired.

And that tidbit is buried in the help....
.. and I clearly remember the moment, hours in to the debugging, where it dawned
on me that I had read this in the help. It happens to me every now and then :)

TL;DR: some times you want ProcessLogic() after your wait()-related function calls.

cheers

Re: Voltage Monitoring

Andrew Yalowitz
 

I've had two of their consumer units at home¡­ and been less than impressed with their reliability and stability. Maybe the commercial unit is better. My main issue with the TED5000 consumer unit was the intermittent operation of the data-over-powerline connection, even when both units were on the same branch circuit. Good suggestion, though, I hadn¡¯t realized that they even made a commercial version.

Subject: [Crestron] Voltage Monitoring

Any suggestions for an easy-to-interface voltage sensor? I'm trying to tie this into our building Crestron system, and want to be able to monitor the voltage of all legs of our three phase power. We've had increasingly poor power, and it would be nice to be able to monitor the general state of power, and whether or not our generator is running, along with email alerts when power is lost and the generator is running.

What makes this a bit more complicated is that we have a high-leg delta service. I saw the GLS-EM-MCU at Masters, which looks like it would do everything we need, though probably a bit on the overkill side, as I don't really care too much about current monitoring. The GLS-EM-MCU doesn't indicate one way or another if it works with a High Leg setup, I don't see how it would care, as long as the voltage of each leg is within its range (100-347v).

The other issue is that it looks like the GLS-EM-MCU is powered off the line voltage, so in times of wacky power (last week the power feed was 30% lower than normal due to a wind storm), the unit might get unstable. It would be cool if the device could be powered off a separate backed up circuit.

Thanks!

Re: FM Tuner with Serial Presets instead of Analog

 

You may need to use a digital join combined with an ACOMP2 to determine if
the preset value is 5 digits (exceeds 9999d) and substitute the following

Re: OT: Crestron DIN Rail Lighting vs Lutron QS

TechyJake
 

I have used Lutron, Vantage, CentraSUCKS and Crestron on several projects. The largest project was a 350 load Crestron and project and have not had any issues with it except one. I was told the dimming module would act as a true latching relay and found out it won't. I had cove lighting that was supposed to be magnetic to be changed to Electronic. The Client was fine with 100% on and off so I called and verified this should not be an issue. We had issues with the fixture popping and when I went to get documented from engineering that it was not related to the dimming module I was told that it wasn't a true latching relay and I needed to add expanders or new modules. Outside of this, I have been very please and as far as I know have not had any returns and repairs on any of the Crestron projects. I like both Lutron and Crestron, personal best regardless for me is Vantage when it comes to straight up lighting control, but being a Crestron freak I prefer to stay here. Crestron margins are better than Lutron from my last look by as much as 15%. One other thing I ran into with Lutron's HW was the reporting on the IP port. Had a project with 380 loads 3 years ago and the client wanted fb on all buttons and loads so the Crestron interfaces could modify the scenes on the fly for them. I didn't want to do it, thinking this could be an issue, but they were determined. I ran into a buffer issue where the HWs would lock up. After Lutron playing the blame game for a month I was able to get an engineer "not in writing" to admit there was an issue and it wasn't going to be fixed. The new processors may have fix this issue though. I have not had any such issue "obviously" with Crestron talking to Crestron. lol!

Re: STX-1700 reconnect issue

 

Robert,
What I always did was set up 2 min display timeout and a 30 min standby time, with wake up on hard buttons. If the unit did go to sleep, It would take a few presses and a few seconds to wake up. I figured this was the best compromise to with battery life.

I always paired a 1700 with it's own GW, if there were 2-3 very near the GW location, that's the only time that I put multiples on toe same GW - Never roaming, always a TP-room relationship

--- In Crestron@..., "ChrisK" <chris@...> wrote:

It's been a while, but I would say that best practice would not be to have assigned STX panels on more than one GW. Did you mean ST-1700? or are you in fact using STRFGWX units, all three set to the same RF settings?

The only way I can imagine this working is if the GWs are REALLY far enough apart that the panels cannot see two at a time - In most homes, I would think this is questionable...

These are old panels so I assume that this is an old install, yes? Did these work well for a while like this? If so, I would bet changes in S/W might have changes bi directional comm with the program.

anyone else had success with roaming STX?
