Re: Crestron Remote windows key press

 

Unfortunately,? the log out function does sign out the Skype user (last time I checked). Hitting the windows key 5 times is the only way I know of doing that, short of lettting it sit and pray to the Seattle Gods that it will do the right thing on it's own.

Re: Crestron Certified Drivers Display Ethernet - Epson Projector

 

I should get an Epson LS12000 very soon and like prepare my setup for it (replacing a JVC). I also plan to use the Certified Driver (Projector_Epson_LS500_IP.pkg). ?

How can I find out which UserAttibutes are used for this PJ and what that feature/setting they control? In particular I am interested in the lens setting presets, as well as picture modes.
I looked through the .dat file, but could not find anything in this regard.

Hello lo@...;?
Would you be able to share how exactly you polled for it?

Thanks!


Re: Latest simpl and typing symbol names

 

I can't find where he said it, but DH confirmed this bug is because of a new SIMPL feature that allows you to put in multiple copies of a symbol using text entry and should be fixed in the next release.

Re: BACnet timing issues

 

I just recently ran into this on a system with Niagara JACE and it had to do with JACE's internal polling. We spent a ton of time trying to figure out what was wrong from the Crestron side. We eventually got access to and found nonstop PollList errors in the JACE logs and adjusted the polling rates until it stopped filling the error log. Haven't had a WP error since.

BMS integration is through an RMC3 acting as the BACnet bridge. This is running current FW and BACNETDelayWPRP?no longer works.
Crestron removed it in later FW (why wouldn't they).

As a result we can no longer fine tune the BACnet.

Does anyone have any alternate means of tweaking the BACnet on 3-series?

Re: FILE OPERATIONS ON VC4

 

It's probably file permissions. The only user that you can upload files to is "admin", but the vc4 softwqare runs as user "virtualcontrol" So any files you put into /opt/crestron/virtualcontrol/Runningprograms/<YourRoomIDHere>/Nvram need to change ownership via "sudo chown virtualcontroluser:virtualcontroluser <file name>:

I have had to do that so often I made up a little shell script to do that all for me. See below.


Shell script. copies files from a folder under admin to both Nnram folder and to the Nvram/ProgID folder.

Re: Latest simpl and typing symbol names

 

Interesting, I'm used to type "symbolName:customName" and hit enter. This still works afaik, but I'm gonna try the other way.


FILE OPERATIONS ON VC4

 

Hi guys I have been attempting to perform file operations on a VC4 via Simpl +. However I keep getting the error code that the file is not found even though I can see it in that specific directory.
Function like set directory also bring up errors. Anyone faced this kind of issue before kindly advise.


Re: Latest simpl and typing symbol names

 

It's a bug. They know about it. I reported it to TB and they were like "we're aware of this as of several weeks ago," so I imagine lots of people have said something about it. I'm probably going to be in the habit of pressing escape after enter for the rest of my life now as a result.

Hi Yevhen,

I have a combo CNC, laser engraver, and 3D printer.? I have never tried engraving Keypad buttons myself.? However, you need to remember that not only do you need to figure out the correct settings/process for doing the engraving, but after the key caps are engraved you need to fill the cuts your laser has made so each button has a smooth surface.? You may use up quite a few button caps before you master the process and achieve professional looking results.

Good luck with this.? It will definitely be an interesting and fun project.? Let me know how things work out.? If this is a success, then I'd be interested in working with you to put together an article on the process.?

I'm always happy to hear that there are people that enjoy my writing and find it valuable.

Thanks

Jay

Jay, thanks for your reply.


The idea is cool, but there are some nuances:

1. The project, I and the buttons are currently in France and sending the buttons to the USA and then waiting back will be a little long and, most likely, a little expensive :)

2. I have already bought a laser engraver and want to to master it in order to offer the best service to my customers.

3. Together with the button on the control panel, they deliver a buttons with a spare and I have something to practice on. But I decided to take the easy way first and ask my dear colleagues :)

Have a nice day! I read your blog carefully.

I can't provide any information on doing the engraving yourself.? However, you might want to contact laser engraver pro ().? He doesn't normally engrave Crestron buttons but I've used him in the past and he does a very good job.? You can just send him the buttons you have along with all the text you want engraved.?

Hope this helps

Good day, Colleagues!

Has anyone had experience laser engraving the Crestron C2N-CBF-P-B-T control panel buttons themselves?
Now there are about 70 of them in the project, but they have already been bought.
There is no time to order separate buttons with engraving, they will take a very long time to make and deliver.

I have an xTool D1 Pro machine at home, I want to try engraving myself.
Can someone tell me what power and speed of movement of the laser should be set?
