Re: Dish Network Hopper2000

 

The Hopper was loose in NOLA all weekend:

Hi, Y'all,

Just to update you guys on this post. The Hopper remote has a switch in the battery compartment to switch the remote to IR. I will learn the remote for all and post it when I get back on site.

FYI, Kim

If you press menu, menu on the dish remote. Does it have an IR address? Maybe default is not address 1. I have driver for 1,3,and,5 if that helps.

Using Simpl+ it is relatively easy to read a file from NVRam or compact flash. In Simpl+ help, review the File Operations section.

Hi all,
This may be a stupid question, but is there an easy way to get a name list to appear (indirect text) from a file on a memory card (file system)
I want to get a series of buttons named dynamically ie: easily change them without going into programming.
For the life of me I can't recall how to do this.
Any help is apreciated.

Re: MLX-3 scroll wheel/wake up fail

 

I've been testing one for about a month. I've never had that backlight issue you describe. However, there is a major backlight issue with the remote.

There is no way to wake the screen with a hard key press other than the 3 top buttons and the scroll wheel. That's a major problem. For instance on a DVR page I might use the "FAV" key to jump to a page of presets. The problem is the backlight does not come on so the customer does not know anything has happened. There needs to be something in Simpl such as the TP Sleep/Wake Manager.

Hi,
I am testing an mlx-3 inhouse, and have noticed a couple of things. Related to the known issue of the scroll wheel going the wrong direction intermittently: I can get it to happen only when moving the scroll wheel slow, and pretty consistently when rolling all the way to the top or bottom, then moving the other direction slowly like 3 clicks at a time. Has anyone seen a remote that doesn't do this? I want to make sure before I sell 13 of them that they have fixed that issue.

Also, It seems that if the remote is left alone with the batteries in it for a certain length of time, it will only wake up the backlight to a screen flickering black, but the gui never comes up. I've seen this happen twice in 2 weeks. Once when I got it back after letting my other programmer borrow it, and once when it sat unused for a day or two in the room it's programmed for 10 feet from the gateway.

Any comments?

Re: OT! (Completely!) - Wakeboarding System

rickmcneely
 

Metric all the way, buddy! And if it weren't a one-off, I would've done an embedded system. If someone actually buys the system, I'm sure I will convert it. Windows is not an RTOS. I've been playing with the mBed system. It would be great for something like that.


Is that in metric or imperial butt-loads?

Any reason you didn't use a microcontroller for the brain? I hate
seeing PCs used for control systems. I'm not sure how many I/Os you
need, but something like a Basic Stamp, PICaxe, or Arduino should be
more than able to handle it, and will be solid state, low power, and
idiot-proof (especially important if you start reselling these
things).
JL Audio MHD Amplifiers

erikm_101
 

Hello Group!

Has anyone ever tried to use a versiport to control the level attenuation on the JL Audio MHD series amps? There is a 4 pin telco jack that connects to the JL Audio HD-RLC (remote level control) device and I am being asked can we control a sub level via this port from Crestron.

Any ideas? Success stories?

TIA,

Re: Security DVR / Streaming - Follow up

Heath Volmer
 

Does anyone know of a DVR with HDMI output that also can put out a more-than-SD h.264 stream?

Similarly, how about a device that does HDMI --> h.264 streaming? Not looking for full frame-rate here, just better resolution.

That is amazing dude. What platform are you using? Windows/Mac/*nix?
What language? I have designed some data analysis systems using Linux,
PHP, and C that used custom FPGA (Verilog on Xilinx) on PCI boards. Those
were the days...

You could totally market and sell that as a full time gig. I know someone
who would be interested. Did you have to do much paperwork with your
locals to put in the pond? That can be a hassle in some parts of the
country especially if there is a stream.

Dom,

I had no idea it was that popular. I do know that my uncle looked at
purchasing a similar system. It was basically the same, minus the control
system. It requires an operator to hit a forward or reverse button as you
approach each end. That system was 30k, not including a pond!

I've seen a commercial version of this at a water-skiing training
school in Florida. Took me a while to figure out what all the
guide-wires for (it wasn't running at the time).

I ran into this issue on Friday. Opened up in SIMPL to find that the updated SIMPL+ module nested inside the updated D3Pro scheduler module was only compiled for 3-series processors. Obviously someone at Crestron forgot morning coffee at some point.

Compiled for 2-series and dropped in the updated module and everything worked fine.

FYI, I also found that the logic for all occupancy sensors has been reversed somehow with the latest update, so hopefully they'll fix that as well.
