Re: Include4.dat not found

 

I've seen that message before. After making several changes to my laptop, the message went away after reinstalling all my Crestron software while logged in as the user account I use for programming. Best I can tell, it was a file permissions issue that the file was there, but Windows would not allow the user account I was logged in under to access it. I'm not 100% sure because I was scrambling to fix this and made a lot of changes at once. I just chalked it up to another way Crestron can bring a productive day to a stand still.

Re: Cisco C40 via SSH

 

Are you getting verbose debugging information from the C40? I believe that
can be enabled/disabled in the C40 configuration, and that can easily cause
buffer overflows. Or maybe that's only on telnet connections, I don't
remember offhand.

You can also run a Squeezebox server on there () and use the module referred to often on this forum to control that.

Re: CP3 - IR ports stop working

 

Whenever I see ... "something was working, then after awhile it wasn't, but a reboot fixed it" I believe it is something in your programming. Create a new program with only the IR devices and see if it still happens. Process of elimination.

Re: Helpful hints to not get flamed

 

I do want to add some points here that are not only applicable to the new guys/beginners.

Never assume somebody else is in the same position as you are and by that I mean:
1) Work setup - self employed (meaning you do everything from sales to support), working at a big company with lots of programmers, just doing corporate or residential projects

2) Personal situation - might have just started his or her own business and things are tough. Remember the days, way back when, when you started on your own. Your mind is in 10 different places and you do find yourself asking stupid questions, because all you need to do it get the job done.

3) Experience - somebody might not have had a programming background, but it is not to say that they cannot become a great programmer. Let's not put them off before they've even started.

I do agree that when you read some of the posts that you can immediately see that no effort was put in to find the information, files, ext, but I also see people responding with posts that cause 20 extra unnecessary responses when a single helpful one liner could have done.

Sometimes a little more patients is all that is needed.

--- In Crestron@..., Nathan Hesson <nhesson@> wrote:

I've seen some threads getting rather testy lately and I thought I would
post some helpful hints to help others avoid feeling internet wrath.


1. Do NOT post with questions or requests for help on tests. The tests mean
something. They are an indication of your skills. They are supposed to be a
measurable baseline that we ALL get judged upon. If a person gets a
certification and is undeserving of it, it tarnishes the reputation of the
certification that the rest of us have. Your certification does not just
apply to programming ability, it also has underlying implications that you
can search for information (see item 2), understand protocols, build your
own modules and IR drivers, etc...

2. Be more resourceful. There is a wealth of knowledge to be had. Search
engines do a lovely job trying help you find that information. If you're
looking for an IR driver, do the following BEFORE posting a "Does anyone
have this?"
a. Look in the Crestron DB
b. Try drivers for other models of similar devices. Chances are, the
codes are similar.
c. Search the files here (hint, your browsers search feature works
really well for this).
d. Search remote central. Even if you have to download pronto software
and grab hex codes and then dump them into DEAL, you should be doing this
before asking if anyone has a driver.
e. Look at other companies IR databases. There's a tool out there
somewhere that can convert AMX drivers to Crestron (Vert?). Look at RTI.
You can pull hex codes out of their IR database and put them into DEAL. Go
through every available resource you know.

Similarly, the same effort should go into finding ethernet and serial
protocols. There are a TON of modules here and if you spend more than 30
minutes with any search engine, you'll probably get close to what you're
looking for. Try multiple search engines, they don't always pull the same
results. Try different search terms, get creative. Other options available
include picking up the phone and calling support to find that information.

Remember, when members of the group post responses for peoples questions,
they are actively taking time out of their days to offer assistance. Don't
waste that time if you can do some searching on your own. As a bonus,
you'll be a better programmer for honing your search skills more.

3. Start your own archive for this groups content. I can't recommend this
enough. Gmail works really well, the storage is free and you have a better
(IMHO) search engine than the one that yahoo uses for the groups. Create a
new account and change your email preferences for the group so you get each
message as a single email. If you already have gmail, just use an incoming
filter to put everything in a label and skip your inbox. Sure, you'll need
to use the web interface to find information older than your archives start
date, but it's better than nothing.

4. Remember that tone is a tricky thing when reading and writing messages.
Do NOT post in all caps. It is the internet equivalent of shouting (how I
wish the caps lock key were never invented). If someone prefaces their post
with, "Don't take this the wrong way" or "Not to be rude" chances are, they
know what they are saying is going to be difficult to swallow. It doesn't
mean that they are instantly a jerk for saying what they did. It's the
internet, thick skin required.

Re: (Beginer) Status =-257 on TCP/IP Client

Also, this is one of those messages that you seemingly can't get a straight answer out of tech support on.

Near as I can tell, the -257 error is what you get if you try sending serial data to a TCP/IP client that isn't currently connected. I haven't been bored enough to verify that on my own - wish T.S. or documentation could just say as much.

Monitor the analog output of the TCP/IP Client symbol. Do not send anything to the tx$ input UNLESS that value is 2.

I'm assuming you've verified the port number that you entered on the TCP/IP symbol in programming mode?

Also, get the silly stuff out of the way - connect to your processor with the command line tool and try "PING 192.168.1.179". If that fails, you've got issues aside from your SIMPL program...

Re: Cisco C40 via SSH

Lincoln supplied great suggestions, so I'm just echoing the sentiment. I have gobs of C-series codecs under 232 control using the I2P modules with no issues. It sounds like your only real option here is to drop back to 232 and determine what is causing the lockups on your side.

The only thing I will ask - is this being done with more than one C40 connected to the same processor?

Give the guy a break, there are no stupid questions. I haven't worked with the PI but I have messed with the Arduino. If it is anything like the arduino uno then you can just connect rs232 to it and write whatever protocol you want. I would suggest the arduino, it's so easy you can learn it in 5 minutes. You can make a button press or any other event send a string to the crestron. Just parse it on the creston end and make things happen. Good luck.

Re: Cisco C40 via SSH

 

FWIW, I have probably 100+ C40s in the wild all running via serial and have never had a problem with them locking up -- might be worth making sure the C40 is running relatively recent-ish firmware.

Two other questions
- Which version of the C40 module are you using?
- Does the Codec have authentication for serial connections (I forget the exact title but it's somewhere in the menu) disabled (default is enabled).

If authentication is required for serial connections you need to "log in" to the serial port & I'm wondering if the codec is "timing out" the serial login and that may cause the perceived lockup

From my understanding from the Apple tech web pages, the iPads and iPhones

only use the cellular signal for phone usage.



If your client is having issues even with wi-fi, it could just be a bad

I have a client and 3 out of 4 of her Ipads are cellular capable on AT&T,

not the best wi-fi, is that the 3 AT&T ipads do a lot of "connection
interrupted" while on the Crestron Mobile Pro G app and the basic wifi only
first gen ipad is quite a bit better, but not perfect. If you turn off the
cellular service on the cellular ones, they get better too.

Obviously the situation can be improved with better wifi, but I was also
wondering if anyone has been down the path of trying to automate turning off
the cellular service when on a particular wifi network to force wifi only. I

I'm not sure about during run time, however one of the key operational

I'm not sure if it sends a zero status then any non-zero values or
sends every value using less traffic by putting multiple values per

It makes a big difference when there are a lot of EISC's that need to

You seem to have inside information Neil, are you saying that the EISC
will generate a single packet when multiple transitions occur on a
single
logic wave, rather than a packet for every change?

Hmm. That sounds more efficient.

When would you use one vs. the other? Is there a reason why you
wouldn't want to always send multiple state changes in a single
packet?
Does this only come into play when a program comes online and
sends an
update request?

Re: Cisco C40 via SSH

Mark Chytka
 

I originally programed the system with 232 control for the C40. It would work for half a day or so and then lock up. Crestron would then start reporting buffer overflows from the 232 module. A processor reboot would restore operation until the next lock up. At that point I changed it to IP control and everything has been running fine for four months. Now the IT folks want a tighter network and changed the Codec to SSH. This leaves me in my current predicament. SSH is not capable at this time and the 232 module blows up after half a day.

If the customer wants SSH and won't allow Telnet, your only option for control is serial.

Subject: [Crestron] Cisco C40 via SSH

Was running a C40 with the ip module via Telnet (Port 23). End user wants to switch it to SSH. End user changed C40 to SSH an I changed the port value in the ip client to 22d. I am now getting a Protocol Mismatch response from the Codec and it's not controlling. The IP reply is (Protocol Mismatch SSH-2.0-Open SSh_5.9). Has anyone controlled a Cisco C series Codec via SSH and do you have any helpful suggestions?

Thanks In Advance

Mark
