Re: Can't compile 3 Series Simpl+ "Cannot retrieve total number of NVRam in module"
btrujillo4343
I was having the same issue a couple of weeks ago. Turns out it had something to do with other software I installed days earlier. It was somehow conflicting with SIMPL+/SIMPLWindows. Take a look at anything you've installed since the last time it was working and uninstall it. That worked for me... TB couldn't explain what or why the software was conflicting.

I forgot to add, this was on all modules, I even created empty modules with little or no code in it and I still had the same problem.

Can't compile 3 Series Simpl+ "Cannot retrieve total number of NVRam in module"
I can compile Simpl+ for 2 series but anytime I check the option for 3 series, I get "Cannot retrieve total number of NVRam in module" I was running latest software according to Master Installer.
I tried uninstall, reboot,registry cleaner, reboot re-install everything with UAC Off, no anti-virus software installed, and all installers set to run as Admin. Made sure no directories or registry entries for Cygnus or Coldfire. Re-downloaded my installers just in case. I have a case open with TB Support but thought I would ask all of you guys. |

So in theory you could have your server run a VM for each programmer and

Re: HELP WITH MLX-3
I set up Squeezebox using an MLX3 with a list length of 10 items and have
logic to trigger the page-down and -up commands when scrolling off the bottom/top of a list and then highlight the top/bottom item. It works pretty well. I prefer it to separate page up/down buttons within the list. That said, I do still prefer my CommandFusion or Xpanel remotes for selecting music.

Re: HELP WITH MLX-3
Thanks for the suggestion but I've been through the example program. It is coded as if the MLX3 is a ML600. It's not designed for scalability at all. There are a few useful macros but for what I'm asking it's not very helpful. I also called TB. The support rep had never coded a MLX3. I knew more than he and most of his advice was incorrect.

I have the MLX3 working. I do not want to follow the example program's paradigm and have 30 VT-Pro pages with individual logic on every page buffered via the page in use. Clearly, the firmware was written to allow external logic from VT-Pro to control the MLX3. The example program presupposes that the remote will be hard coded in VT-Pro. Is this the superior mode of dealing with the remote? If I wanted to have 12 VT-pro files, all hard coded, the example program would work well enough. But I'm trying to template the MLX3 so that it's coded from Simpl, not VT-Pro. I want a single MLX3 file for as many remotes are in the project and the example program is not much use for this. The MLX3, lighting and HVAC aside, is a list within a list within a list. I'm merely curious if anyone has rolled their own scrolling list logic and found any benefit to using the default scrolling text the remote provides? I'm interested if the trigger highlighted and itemtohighlight signals make the MLX3 function better than when using its default scrolling logic VT-Pro provides. --- In Crestron@..., Jay Basen <jay.m.basen@...> wrote:

Could be wrong, but as far as I know that's just a backup of a umc file - not much use on it's own. I would go back and ask for an actual archive.

Re: Off Topic - killing laptops - any advice?
+1 for Asus. I'm running a custom built maxed out Asus G74 and these things are GREAT! They're made for hardcore gaming, so they have DUAL heatsinks & Fans for cooling, and the whole back end is the heat outlet. Basically the CPU gets one heatsink and fan, and the GPU gets it's own set as well.

Thing doesn't even break a sweat when running multiple Simpl, VTPro's, Photoshops, Outlook, OneNote, dozens of webpages in Firefox, etc. all at the same time. I too have lost at least 2 previous laptops due to heat issues, no matter how much I clean them, and do upkeep. I guess running a laptop like you'd run a server is a good way to kill it in short order. That's why I went with the Asus this time around... (plus the think is about as fast as of machine as I could find and still afford.) I've gone through a Toshiba, HP, and a SysteMax. --- In Crestron@..., "Mark" <markrkaye@...> wrote:

there is an example program for the MLX-3 on the crestron web site. It includes an example iPod interface. You can adopt this to other devices such as a squeezebox without a lot of trouble. Personally, I've always tied an MLX-3 remote to a given room as nobody likes to go searching around the house for the TV remote. But, it wouldn't be hard to program a room selection list and then just drive the source selection based on a room. Hope this helps Jay ----- Original Message -----

Bak Files ?!
Hi guys,
I'm relatively new to crestron programming... I've done some SB and SIMPL... SIMPL+ also. So far so good... I'm working on a Home Theatre for a friend ... It'll be a pro2 with an Ipad... His home was done with KNX and there is a crestron knx gateway fully programmed on a QM-RMC... I'd like to integrate the hometheatre part with the KNX part (already done)... we asked about the sources files for the QM-RMC... But i've received an archive with a BAK extension... Where do i open this kind of file ? I went on TB but didn't find an answer... maybe they talked about it during training but i forgot... So I thought about the forum and decided to give it a try... Can someone please tell me how to open the bak file ? Thank you, S. |

This cheap little box works really well for streaming video sources -- only thing it's missing is Vudu, which is supposedly coming. Their protocol doesn't support browsing without a display connected so it's not really a Squeezebox replacement but for video it's great. Here's a little control module. -Garrett --- In Crestron@..., Crestron@... wrote:
