I just got a Hopper, and the codes were the same as the 922. The unit has some quirks, for sure, I feel like a beta tester.

Were you able to successfully learn the codes? Getting ready to install one and don't seem to see the codes anywhere. Thanks.

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.

I know other companies make plasmas - I was hoping to get a specific make/model that someone has used successfully.

Thanks again.

I have a client that hates LCDs, loves plasmas. Tells me he wants one of the cheap entry level Panasonic 65" plasmas because he loves the picture. But also wants discrete input select, direct channel selection from the built in tuner and discrete power on/off - all without RS-232. Balked when I suggested the Panasonic that actually has RS-232 to be able to implement all of those features because it cost quite a bit more.

Now he has asked if there is any other control system other than Crestron that will give those features - seems to think that Crestron "needs" RS-232 and another cheap control system <URC, RTI, etc> won't need RS-232 to to do everything he wants. I'm sticking with Crestron so my other option is to find a cheaper plasma with RS-232.

Anyone use another plasma sized 60"-65" that has RS-232 support and a built-in off air tuner?

Thanks for the comments.

My post was a little warning not to get carried away with the cool, expensive, tech - it's often the really mundane stuff that hooks people because it enhances their life much more than an angel-supported plasma. It's easy to get carried away and actually miss the idea that the tech has to complement the user's life and make it better - it's usually something to do with heating, lighting or security and rarely to do with having the latest and greatest mechanised plasma screen.

Your example of the pressure pads is one we've used in the past - so the homeowner would step out of bed between certain hours (at night essentially) and it would bring on the bathroom lights at a low-level so they could find their way to the WC etc. You could certainly utilise the mats further to make coffee etc. if the time is between certain hours (let's say between 6 and 8 am).

We all work with some of the very wealthiest, smartest individuals in the world - and they will be good at spotting someone just suggesting stuff because it is lots of money etc. - but find the things that irritate them, solve those issues for them and you'll be in a much more trusted position to suggest the expensive, show-off toys.

It isnt about loading a house with 60" plasmas that float down from the ceiling on the wings of porcelein skinned angels(the 'awe'(sp?) factor).Its about using the automation to suit the needs(and yes wants as well) of the client. Taking the time to 'listen' to what they do during the day,the 'activities',the 'schedules' their habits and simplifying it for them with automation.

Marcus, if I was consumer and you sat down and listened to how my life spins and what you could do for me to take some weight off,I would let you sell me on plasmas mounted into the side wall of my pool with a trained dolphin to harmonize serial signals through echo location to change the channels...

Marcus, once again thank you for the great words and I hope that others will follow your lead.

If it was my module you were trying to edit, I uploaded a slightly updated version, which fixed the error I think you are having as well as a few more inputs.
As far as editing the module, it is a bit of a known issue where you have to temporarily edit the parameter properties and change from 'Value List' to 'Allow all values'. You can close that window however and the list will still be there when you go to change it back.

Sounds like you're trying to enter a value (preceded with a # symbol) that matches an existing parameter definition in the module's "Defargs" symbol. If you want to use a # without referencing a parameter value, I believe you need to use &#92;x23 in its place. There might be another shortcut/workaround, but it's not coming to me.

If you gave us an example of the string you're trying to put in, we might be able to give you a more concise answer.

Hello,
I?m controlling a Panasonic projector PT-AE4000U with CresDB module
for PT-AE1000U (Panansonic Lamp Hours v1.0) and it?s working fine.
Even so, I am receiving this error message -> "Error:

What should I do, change the "BUFFER_INPUT From_Device$[255];"
parameter to [260], is it possible?

Here is the S+ part:
LINE 44 DIGITAL_INPUT Lamp_Requested;
LINE 47 BUFFER_INPUT From_Device$[255];

LINE 133 change From_Device$
LINE 134 {
LINE 135 // Lamp hours are of the form "&#92;x02####&#92;x03"

Thank You for your reply good sir,

I think i understand what you are referencing and im sketching it out so i see the big picture more clearly(im a little 'logic' challenged)

I do not understand your comment(its me,not you LOL):
["You may also want to use a buffer to jam the 'TV off' command with the
'Enable' button so that turning the EC off restores control to the kids remote.]
'jam' the 'tv off' command???
what is 'EC'?

all TP's will be 2way and 4 of them will be 'Global'(liv rm/office/master/patio deck),the rest will be zone specific only.global TP's Im shooting for TPMC-8's and zone TP's St1700c's or better.

Thank you again, Mark

This isn't a mistake. It's part of a file signature. It's amazing that support can't even tell you something this basic.

How are you opening the file - what mode? binary or text?


--- In Crestron@..., "Dustin" <dustin@> wrote:

Hey everyone,

I've noticed for awhile now that the "FileWrite" command on a 3 series adds 8 bytes worth of hex info to the beginning of the file.

Up until now, this hasn't been a big deal, as I was simply using the file for formatted text and parsing it back in later where I could just ignore it. Now I'm trying to save a data type that isn't just text and it's not working. (image file) The file shows up as corrupt when transferred to a pc. If I open it with a hex editor and delete the 8 bytes, the file will open fine on the PC or anything else I send it to.

The module is working fine on a 2 series - doesn't add the junk to the file. All this is can be recreated with even a simple "hello world" type program that saves to a file. Your file will end up 8 bytes larger than the string you are writing.

Called TB and they just dismissed it as "must be a memory address" and offered no solutions.

Anyone else ran into this / found a magic bullet?

Thanks

You need _O_TEXT instead of binary, and you're correct - this is new for the 3-series.

I guess it depends on what you're using for remotes/UIs, but no reason to get S+ involved.

Quick and easy:
Pass all STB controls on kids remote through a buffer (buf).
[enable] on the buffer is fed by the [out*] on a set-reset latch (sr).
On your remote provide a 'Disable' & 'Enable' button feeding the inputs of the (sr).
You may also want to use a buffer to jam the 'TV off' command with the 'Enable' button so that turning the EC off restores control to the kids remote.

Ive tried to make a SIMPL+ module modeled using the CH modules but i dont have Cross Compiler so it is a mute venture.

I have looked through several of programs that were sent to me but none use override.

Im probably getting too far ahead of myself but really would like to have some progress on my home system.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thank you.
