Re: Logic Engine Error

 

Having a similar issue on firmware 2.8.000 . didn't start until i upgraded. what version is the processor on?


Re: DSC PowerSeries Neo

 

Hey Tony, et.al.
Anyone heard of any updates on this?? or more importantly, does it actually provide any function like a keypad emulation, zone status, etc.

I have a client that needs a security upgrade and his contractor standardizes on the NEO now. It would suck for him to have to have a rouge panel (ex: Honeywell) in his mix...

TIA!


Re: How to get C# trigger a method based on event from Simpl+

 

Ok thanks for confirming; I had incorrectly assumed it was because the class hadn't been newed up, but it must be (as you say) down to architecture/sequencing.


Re: How to get C# trigger a method based on event from Simpl+

The constructor definitely gets fired well before the SIMPL side of things has fully fired off ¨C I¡¯ve seen constructor print messages inserted in the program header print during boot and before the ¡°Program Started¡± print.

?

If you have a method that relies on values set during an e.g. Initialize() method or loaded from a config file, etc., those may not be in place that early (depending on when you¡¯re invoking Initialize() or loading the values) you can definitely see null reference exceptions or the like but that¡¯s more of an architecture/sequencing thing and it¡¯s not fair to say that that¡¯s universal, nor should it generally take anything on the order of seconds.

So if you put a 1 on a digial input or analog init and drive an input into a Simpl+ module that calls a C# method you don't get an exception? I get an exception every time, unless I allow a short delay before (after upload/reset)?

Re: How to get C# trigger a method based on event from Simpl+

 

I¡¯m sorry to call you on this one, but it¡¯s simply wrong.

Global S# objects are instantiated well before the SIMPL engine gets going. ?No exceptions.

Put some Console prints in the object constructor and do a prog reset. The objects are created before the SIMPL program is started.


Re: Stepper Bug?

 

+1 for what Lincoln said.

Ran into this a few times where the transfer dialog is open but does not have focus. Sometimes it's under another window.?


Re: How to get C# trigger a method based on event from Simpl+

 

Make sure you aren¡¯t triggering the Simpl+ input playerPress too early in your Simpl program. I assume you¡¯re setting _myGame along with the other global variables at the top of the file. If you are pulsing or pushing the Simpl+ input as soon as the Simpl program starts, you will get an exception as it takes a few seconds for C# objects to be newed up.


Re: PRO4

 

I heard that the CP4 and CP4N were just much better sellers so they elected to use all the chips they could get on these.?


OP


PRO4

 

Hi Folks -?

I was just on Crestron's website looking at the PRO4, and it says discontinued, and the replacement is the CP4N. Does anyone know why Crestron discontinued the PRO4?


Re: Logic Engine Error

 

This error usually means a loop in a Simpl+ module; unfortunately it doesn't tell you which one. It's usally a while loop that has some condition <while(condition)> and the condition is never met, and the loop has no delay(s) within it, ultimately resulting in a lockup of that module, and eventually SIMPL.


Re: Stepper Bug?

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I have not seen this behavior **except** if there¡¯s a transfer program dialog box lurking in the background (annoying ¡®feature¡¯ of SIMPL for a couple decades is that this dialog acts as a modal most of the time but certain circumstances it can drift to the background but still inhibit SIMPL functionality) ¨C but it¡¯s not just a Stepper in those cases any kind of ALT++ functionality and some others like the signal completion, F2/F6/F9 to either not work at all or to work differently than normal.

?

Usually, the lowest stress way to report a bug is via OLH. And anything unique to your install that may help to pinpoint it would probably be helpful (e.g. which OS version? What language? Is there a particular sequence you can use to reproduce it, etc.)

Anyone come across this problem in SIMPL?

When I try to insert a new signal/parameter (or multiple instances) in Stepper, nothing happens. The frustrating part is that, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.??

I tried using the latest SIMPL and still the same problem.

Re: Crestron Certified Drivers Display Ethernet

 

Nevermind, problem is solved. I polled for the DisplayMode in the driver and all the various aspect ratios showed up. Nice!


Crestron Certified Drivers Display Ethernet

 

I'm using?Crestron Certified Drivers Display Ethernet to control my Epson projector, managed to turn it on and off with no problem, but I have one feature that I needed badly -- adjust the ASPECT RATIO of the projector. I have tried various parameters to no avail. Anyone can help?

I tried to send strings via "User Attribute" and "Custom Commands" to no avail. If really no choice, I can use the left, right, up, down arrow to navigate the menu and go to specific aspect ratio to get adjusted, but that makes me look stupid.

Taking a step back, I managed to use Serial I/O to change the aspect ratio, like sending a string of "ASPECT 10" will change the aspect ratio to 4:3, but that's not using a Crestron certified driver via ethernet, and rather outdated.?

?

Just wondering if anyone successfully issued certain commands through this Crestron Certified Ethernet Driver to make the projector works?
