Re: String Parsing

 

Here: //Based on the sample data you've given I'm making the assumption that you'll get all the names you're after in a single query. This code will parse up to 10 names and those names would be overwritten with the next query.

#DEFINE_CONSTANT maxnames 10
#DEFINE_CONSTANT maxlength 40

Digital_Input Get_Names;
Buffer_Input RxData$[1000];
String_Output Actor$[maxnames][maxlength]; //Define an output array of 10 outputs, each up to 40 bytes in length

Integer i; //Define a global integer as the index

Push Get_Names
{
i = 1; //reset index to 1 when new request for name is sent.
}


Change RxData$
{
Integer semaphore; //Define a semaphore to prevent re-entrancy
String sTemp[100], sDump[50];

While(semaphore = 0)
{
Semaphore = 1;

sTemp = Gather("/>", RxData$); //this will remove each line from the buffer to be parsed individually

IF(FIND("person job=&#92;x22Actor&#92;x22 name=&#92;x22",sTemp))
{

IF(i >= 1 && < maxnames){i = i + 1}; //increment index value if between 2 and 9

//parse as usual:

sDump = remove("person job=&#92;x22Actor&#92;x22 name=&#92;x22", sTemp);

Actor1[i]=left(sTemp, find("/>", sTemp)-3); //assign the parsed string to the output specified by the index [i]

Semaphore = 0;

}
}
}

You'll have to pardon any syntax errors as my iPad email app is not the best S+ text editor environment.

Hope that makes sense for you. This could also be done using a for loop but I thought you might understand this method more easily. You could also parse the name with a single mid statement and have no need to define sDump and save some memory but thats really irrelevant.

Ex. Actor$[i] = mid(sTemp, find("name=",sTemp) + 7,Len(sTemp) - ((find("/>", sTemp)-3) - (find("name=",sTemp))); //I'm almost sure to have missed a parenthesis but you get the idea.

Re: apple tv control methods

4) Selecting a movie after listening to music doesn't clear the artist and album text fields. Would also be great if the album art would clear if there was no album art, like it displays "Nothing playing" when nothing is playing. It then clears the fields.

5) Ffwd and rew works perfectly when watching movies.


The aTV Flash (black) 2.0 Media Player also has metadata fetching enabled and it will start displaying pictures from the current playing artist, ext. I wonder it this doesn't put my crappy network under stress. However with it disabled the album art doesn't update.
TPMC-4SMFD hard button feedback

 

Hi Guys,

I am having a play with our campuses first TPMC-4SMFD and have gotten stuck on the feedback for the LED hardbuttons. I have limited experience with Crestron touch panels as all we have on campus TPSG-TPI's with different manufacturer touch panels so any help would be gladly appreciated.

The result I am after is to get the LED hardbuttons to illuminate individually dependant on feedback. Currently all i'm getting is all hard buttons illuminated constantly whilst the panel is awake :(.
I presume this can be done as it mentions in a crestron document that the buttons can operate individually or globally. However I cannot find where this is configured.

Additionally I have not made this a core-3ui project as I need to keep a similar look to our existing user interfaces. Does it need to be a core-3ui project to get the outcome I want?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Cheers,


Ihaia

Re: Lifesize stops communicating

 

I realize this is an old thread, but I'm wondering if other people are still having issues controlling Lifesize systems reliably. I have a customer that has a Lifesize Express 220 and claims that twice in the past month the control system has stopped communicating with the Lifesize system. The customer has stated that in order to fix the issue they unplugged the usb to serial dongle and then plugged it back in and everything worked again. The usb to serial dongle is one that was on Lifesize's approved list. I'm just trying to find out if anyone else has had similar issues and how they have resolved/worked around them.

Thanks!

I just finished my work around for the LifeSize communication problem. I called LifeSize to let them know the issue is still there even after updating to the latest firmware which they told me would fix it. They told me that I was the only one that has ever called in with this problem and that I would have to get further control support directly from Crestron or the LifeSize distributor. What in the world is that all about?! LifeSize seems to have no problem telling me it can be controlled by Crestron, but no one seems to want to support it. I guess you're just on your own when it comes to controlling LifeSize. I need to find a different line of VTC gear to spec for the next job. Goodbye LifeSize.

I'm working with a client-furnished LifeSize Room that the client says
stops communicating with the Crestron processor after X amount of

Crestron Modules (plus Chip's extra remote keys module).

Has anybody here seen this happening?

You're overwriting Actor1$ each time you parse a name. You need an integer variable to track how many names you've already parsed and use that as the index of the string output array you want to assign it to.

Re: Degree symbol ASCII on TP (non-core 3)

There you go! Thanks Chris

I got 248 both from Crestron's ASCII chart and from various google

figuring that something was wrong with the font / mobile pro.

Try ASCII 176 (decimal) for the degree symbol, that's the standard mapping
in most GUI-era font sets (e.g. Arial).

When in doubt, check the codes in Character Map, which will show you the
actual font-level character mappings. It looks like Crestron's ASCII
conversion chart in SIMPL help needs to be updated, as it includes line and
fill characters which haven't been in wide-spread use for quite some time.
I'm assuming that's where you got the 248 from?

Re: Tstat change 74,3 degrees to 74

 

and if you do want to round, no S+ needed. It isn't that difficut to do 'SIMPL' rounding. Take the remainder from the divmod though an acomp, If greater than 5 add one to the quotient (abufs to select a 0 or 1 addend -> an asum) and use an aos to tigger the sequence.

If this is an analog - 751 represents 75.1 - a DivMod by 10 will chop off

I just changed my house from a HAI thermostat that output nice even
numbers like 74 or 76 degrees to the CHV-TSTAT and it outputs 74.3 or 75.1

Is there an easy thing like a ascale with the right settings that will
take the 75.1 or 751 and just convert it to 75 so I can keep all my
touchpanels and iphone projects the same?

I am thinking there is an easy way but its slipping my mind.

Re: Come On Crestron WTF - 3 hrs to change an IR file!!!!!

Doug Guth
 

I had almost the exact same thing happen to me last month. But since I'm
not a Master programmer it took me 4-hours! Customer asked for a simple IR
file update for a projector replacement. I updated the processor code to
control the projector but when I went to compile the code the new Crestron
database does not contain the original ASPI module for the EF-200 phone
hybrid. I downloaded the new module and incorporated it into the program.
I thought that was it until the customer asked that I update their
Corporate Logo on the Opening Page of their TPS 4500 touch panel. I edited
the touch panel program and loaded it into the touch panel. Bad decision!!
The touch panel failed to load the new code and then woke up with 揅an't
find page�. Yikes, I'd killed their system!! And they had a big meeting the
next day! I updated the firmware in the touch panel and the Crestron CNMSX
Pro processor but the touch panel still would not load the files. Out of
desperation I went on the FTP site and downloaded the 2.3xxx version of
Vision Tools Pro e, reworked the touch panel files, recompiled the touch
panel program. This time the panel loaded the files and worked properly.
Wow, it was 5:30pm, just in time to drive to my 5:00pm appointment!
