Re: PMC3 appears dead. Has anybody revived a dead controller?
#prodigy
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIt been a while for me with PCM3¡¯s, but have you tried to remove the Crestnet and see what happens? Maybe too much current draw or a short? Gary ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Matt Rozema

Re: SIMPL+ Compiler bug
%d is for sign integers whereas %u is for unsigned.? Analogs inputs are considered to be unsigned so the %d would not work for values over 32K. I think the help file is in error saying itoa is the same as %d.? So as I read it, %u is the correct parameter to use.? Beside, why would the %u spit out a letter "d" instead of a number?? As I noted, %u works fine on a Series2 processor.

Re: SIMPL+ Compiler bug
In the help document for ITOA it says the following are equivalent statements:
out$ = itoa(CODE); |
PMC3 appears dead. Has anybody revived a dead controller?
#prodigy
Ok, I know Prodigy, as a line, is dead anyway, but I would like to get my modest home system back to running condition while I shop for something more current.
So, my PMC3 was running great for a few years. I unplugged it to reorganize a few things. Ever since, it appears to power on, but is almost always unresponsive. The caveat to that statement is a few times it actually worked normally, though not for more than day or two max, after replacing the original power adapter which I suspected was faulty. Now, the power LED lights up, and that appears to be all. Plugging into the computer port does nothing. My computer doesn't recognize that I've plugged anything in. I'm aware this is a long shot, but has anyone rescued a unit like this, or maybe any Crestron control processor, from a similar state? |
SIMPL+ Compiler bug
Just want to give you a heads up on a SIMPL+ compiler bug with Series 3 processors.?? The makestring and print statements may not print correctly with analog inputs. Compile the same thing on a Series 2 processor and it works fine.
Here is the is a portion of my code. #DEFINE_CONSTANT Quote "\x22" #DEFINE_CONSTANT??? TOTALANALOGS??? ??? 10 DIGITAL_INPUT ?? Debug; ANALOG_INPUT ??? Ana_In[TOTALANALOGS]; STRING_OUTPUT ??? JSON_TX$; CHANGE Ana_In ?? ?{ ?? ?INTEGER ?? ???? Value, ?? ???? Index; ?? ?STRING TempStr$[255];??? ?? ?Index = getlastmodifiedarrayindex(); ?? ?Value = Ana_In[Index]; ??? makestring(TempStr$,"{%sA%u%s:%u}",Quote,Index,Quote,Value); ?? ?if (Debug) print("Sending JSON:%s\n",TempStr$); ?? ?JSON_TX$ = TempStr$; ?? ?} When I send something like 38 to the analog input 1, JSON_TX$ sends {"A1":d} However simplifying it to just print Value, it works fine. So it has something to do with the other characters around the %u in the makestring function.? Print has the same issue. If I modify the code as below it works fine. CHANGE Ana_In ?? ?{ ?? ?INTEGER ?? ???? Value, ?? ???? Index; ?? ?STRING TempStr$[255];??? ?? ?Index = getlastmodifiedarrayindex(); ?? ?Value = Ana_In[Index]; ?? ?TempStr$ = itoa(Value); ?? ?makestring(TempStr$,"{%sA%u%s:%s }",Quote,Index,Quote,TempStr$); ?? ?if (Debug) print("Sending JSON:%s\n",TempStr$); ?? ?JSON_TX$ = TempStr$; ?? ?} The output is now {"A1":38} as expected. Does not seem to be firmware related as I tried 3 different firmware levels (very old to the latest) and two different Series 3 processors (CP3 and MC3).? Using the following software: SIMPL Windows: 4.11.06 SIMPL+ 4.04.1 DeviceDB: v115.00.002.00 CrestronDB: v89.05.002.00 Anybody else seen strange issues like this? Thanks, Steve |
Re: Samsung CCD IP Driver
Yep, mine stopped a couple days ago too.

Re: Mr Cool control
I would love this also. I contacted MR Cool amd they were no help.
I have this wall controller they sent with my kit that is IR but might be discrete. I am going to play with capturing the codes it outouts. I also was thinking to wire an inexpensive power sensing coil I bought inline with the power so I can have feedback if it¡¯s on or not. |
New Windows 10 install Simpl+ issues
I just did a clean install of Windows 10 to try to fix a connectivity issue. All SIMPL programs were working correctly before. I use Sublime Text to code SIMPL+ files. After new install, I cannot get SplusCC to run in the system path. When I open SIMPL+, every file including the default template has stray characters that I can not easily remove with destroying code. It does compile with no errors.
I originally installed all Crestron programs with MasterInstaller, but removed SIMPL, SIMPL+, VTPRO, Device Database and Crestron Database and reinstalled older versions with no change. ANyone have any ideas on how to fix this? |

Re: Samsung CCD IP Driver
Mark, ? I'm currently controlling a QN75Q70 with CCD Display Ethernet v1.9 on an MC3 with the same firmware as you.? Everything is working great for me.? Couple of quick thoughts, have you looked at the "User" directory of the processor to see if the PKG file is in fact extracting and showing the .dll? File path:?/USER/CrestronCertifiedDrivers/App1/Drivers/ where the "App" value is relative to which program slot you are using the CCD. Also, I found someone's test file that used the "UserAttributes 2" Signal slots of the CCD where as I had previously only used the "UserAttributes 1" signals.? For me the test programming structure using User Attributes 2 did not work for me.? I will say that I may be jumping to conclusions as I did not take the time to troubleshoot that code build any further as I had more immediate issues to deal with and reverted to my working format.? Unfortunately I don't recall the errors I had when I ran that version of code, but when I get someone to step away from the TV for a bit, I'll see if I can't load it up and test it again. |
