HI,

Spoke to Crestron this week re FW for MPC3 which is the same.? ?The new Firmwares stop the setup pages from working.? ?Either use Tbox, set via Program or downgrade the firmware.? ?They are working on a solution I'm told.

Rgds Steve

On every CP3 & PRO3 ive done recently ive not been able to get to the processor "setup" webpage.
Always used to go to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/setup but I cant get it to work anymore. We have authentication enabled so get asked for the username & password but then just get a blank white page with "The requested URL was not found."
Crestron tried to tell me its because Windows are discontinuing the support of Flash so the Xpanel wont work any more, but as flash isnt dicontinued until end of the year that doesnt make much sense to me!

Any ideas?

Use an AnalogDivMod. Just use the "quotient" value for your 8-bit DMX values.

If your DMX device supports 16-bit data (hi-byte/lo-byte address pairs), you can get full level resolution doing this (you can actually just feed the original analog signal into the second address of a pair when doing 16-bit DMX, instead of using the "remainder" signal since only its low byte gets transmitted anyway, which is exactly what causes the "fluctuation" you're seeing, but this is neater imo):

The sACN Sender Direct socket module right out if the database definitely needs 0-255d at the inputs.

That's correct, but I was a little unclear. You don't have to open the FaceTime app itself. I was calling the button to turn on selfie mode the "facetime button" :)

Yes, the spacing between pins allows for each discrete connector to be inserted side by side without interference. Each port is independent. If you remove these connectors often, it's good to have a puller -- basically, a pair of tweezers with the tips bent over. Tip: pull from the front of the connector where it meets the machine. If the puller slips, you can pull the back of the phoenix connector off. This doesn't destroy the connector but you've just pulled the back off :)

Yes, SmartGraphics 2.15.08.23 definitely breaks the weather objects. Maybe it's intended to fix them after 12/31, but for now it breaks them. I tried it on two different touchpanels and an X-Panel, with the same results. Rolling back to 2.15.08.21 restored the weather (for now).

You guys have already received 70 series panels?

I've had a 1070 on order for three weeks and nada.

compiled xpanel & tsw-770 with new SG
weather object doesn't work
tsw-750/52 that haven't been updated, weather object still works

i read the bulletin about the weather object not working at the end of Dec, but didn't see anything about it breaking with the new SG

BTW if this wasn’t mentioned, you can use a regular (visible light) led and a 100 ohm resister in series to see if the port is working. Be sure to try it both polarities.

online & operating OK after update
would show up in device discovery, but device discovery or text console would fail to connect
i had to reboot my laptop to connect again

Hi, looking into this thread, when using the Entrec Din Ode Mk2 in Sacn mode, and the Sacn module in Simpl - the DMX output is not linear, a lot of fluctuation from 0-100%. As example 50% gives dmx=0.

Has anyone tested the Sacn Module from HA Experts? Other solution?

Thanks for the great feedback Hngrdg, ?I am hoping it is not a port failure. ?Unfortunately my programmer has become very busy over the last few years to do these minor tweaks for him. I think he is a great guy and awesome programmer but just has outgrown small residential jobs unfortunately. I had a similar problem happen to me withy Bipad ?where one of the ports stopped working so I did have him a few years ago move it from port 4 to 10, and instantly it had started working. When my new emitters come in and I get the previous three ports wired up I am hoping everything should work if not I will then try your Apple phone trick

" Just to recap press a command on ML600 and look at Emitter with iPhone camera in selfie mode ?select FaceTime and see if it flashes? "

As for having Stripped wire going to the correct port, after 15 hours of trouble shooting I am pretty sure I had tried every combination possible, that being said I could've made a mistake you never know?

I was curious I can test each port for example E,F,G,H separated with a two plug Phoenix connector they don't have to be all plugged in at the same time with 8 pin Phoenix connector, I assume every signal port is independent of each other ??

Thanks Again

During my maintenance of about a hundred systems over 20 years I have encountered three or four IR port failures, so it does happen even though it's a rare event. My solution was always to move the device to a free port and reprogram the system. Easy peasy unless you're not the programmer and that guy has disappeared :(

When you swapped a working emitter to PV1 in step 2, did you make sure that the striped lead was going to pin "S" on the IR port? (Someone else already mentioned this.) Also, the output of these emitters is not very robust (compared to actual remote controls) so the diodes have to be positioned right over the IR sensors on your devices. Failure to do this may explain why everything stopped working. I have never damaged an emitter or a port by unplugging the phoenix connectors. Frankly, I think it's cheap of Crestron to sell products with 8-pole phoenix connectors on the IR port bank instead of four 2-pole connectors. Anyway, you can buy bags of connectors from Newark Electronics (newark.com.) For the PRO2 you want ones with 3.5mm pitch. They're very inexpensive.

If you have an iPhone, open the camera app, select the facetime button to turn on the selfie camera, and hold the emitter over the camera, You will see it flashing when a signal is being sent. (Apple filters IR light from the rear camera.) Android cameras should also work unless they filter IR.

Fan speed is pretty much identical to lighting you just send predefined levels as "Speeds"

i recompiled the vtpro project - still failed
recompiled the smw (new 200+ libraries) - now it works!!

?mark

FYI - the code is home elements

seems you need Crestron Go - Tablet

now he connects, but it won't talk to my code - starts connecting & then spins it's wheels
do i need to recompile my project with newer libraries to work with Crestron Go?
iPhone works fine with Crestron GO - no changes on my part

I emailed our Maxell (formerly Hitachi) rep. They are working on it as well.
Here's the response that I received.

We are aware of this situation. There will probably be a FW update to add some of the functions of Crestron e-Control to our Projector Web Control. Our engineering team in Japan is currently studying the best solution for this issue. Please give us some time. Thank you.

The Crestron processor IP Address and IP ID settings will probably be moved to the on screen display menu and/or the web control page.

I had this happen to me yesterday. I had to close the app and reopen. It didn’t reoccur.

Thank You,
