I'll take a look at it as soon as I find some time. Could be a few days tho...
Re: SIMPL# Question

 

That sounds like the Crestron Anti-Anti-Virus feature?

[I use Avast, and have to suspend it when I compile.? I've tried various "exclusions" etc. but nothing seems to work as reliably as turning it off.? I just need to remember to re-enable!]
Re: Touch panel lockout

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I flip the panel back to the splash page after inactivity for a period of time. Splash page has clients pretty logo, and if you touch the splash page, a passcode subpage pops up. If someone touches it and freaks because now there is a passcode page up, after inactivity for a period of time I drop the subpage get back to the pretty logo.

I use Activity detection symbol in simpl as a time out that activates a key pad sub page that takes the whole screen. Just use the available password modules that crestron has made.

Some people are never happy... It works perfectly, providing you only need it to recognise your finger within 10 minutes of the enrollment process. ;-)
Cisco CHS435 (Fios) box IR?

 

I see a bunch of IR drivers in the file section for Fios, but nothing that mentions this box.? Can anyone point me towards one, please?

Thanks,

Thank you.

Now I can compile both S# and S+ without errors but when I drop the module in the program with nothing else in it, hit compile and the simpl program just closes. is that an expected behavior? or am I missing something silly.?

Processor type ?defined in simpl and S+ id dmps3-300.?

I agree with what Jeremy said: "CrestronConsole.PrintLine() is your friend for debugging."

Please note that, for some reason, when using Simpl Debugger, the PrintLine will not always output to the debugger. It's a strange behavior and I have confirmed this with other programmers.

My solution is to use Putty and establish a connection with the processor that way.
Putty therefore becomes my main console/debugger for Simpl#, and PrintLine() never fails. Very useful!

The other method of inserting stopping points in the Visual Studio for debugging also works, but lately PrintLine() is helping me the most.

my .2 cents

Assuming the client wants to enable/disable the whole panel, I just put a simple keypad on the splash page with text feedback.? Entering the correct password flips to the "main" page; entering the incorrect password does nothing.? Password can be hard-coded, or dynamic depending on client preferences.

Touch panel lockout

 

This is something I normally never had to do but I have a TSW-1052 in a public area and the user wants a lockout on it such as a keypad with a code.? My question is for those who have done this what is everyone doing?? Keypad?? Hidden button?? just was wondering what everyone likes.


Thanks

Most likely Autocad. That's what we use.

Re: Controlling third party device through Extron DTP Crosspoint Switcher via DTP RX and TX

 

"But i am not able to work when its connected via Extron DTP TX ?to Extron Crosspoint 4K DTP port"

Triple check your wiring - introducing Extron RS232 extenders multiplies the number of places an RX/TX swap can/will mess you up.

If you want, start by jumpering RX/TX on the receiver - in place of your display's control cable - and watch in debugger to see if strings you send out are echoed back to you, and start from there...

Controlling third party device through Extron DTP Crosspoint Switcher via DTP RX and TX

 

I have a NEC display which i can control easily directly connected to a com port of the Crestron processor. But i am not able to work when its connected via Extron DTP TX ?to Extron Crosspoint 4K DTP port. I have enabled captive screw option and set the baud rate. I am not sure if i need to try anything else to make it work.
Lighting Program Upload turns off all lights.

 

I'm working with a PRO3 and D3, Program Slot 1. I have an AV program in Slot 2. After an upload, most of the time, the lights in the home all turn off. The values are not saved. NVRAM is enabled and plenty of available NVRAM. Any ideas?
Re: Technical Drawing Software

 

I've used Vectorworks for many years. ?With the ConnectCAD A/V plugin it's quite fast to generate a set of drawings. ?It does have its quirks like any cad system but it's native to Mac or Windows, and the cost of entry is very low relative to full Autocad or something more analogous such as Wirecad.

For cleaning up Autocad drawings prior to importing into anything else, the free version of Draftsight is handy.
Re: Popups or pages

 

I don't think the font size portion is accurate. If it was, you wouldn't be able to dependably change font size via code.?

In the SG class provided by Crestron, they said that best practice is to try to stick to the same fonts and font sizes if possible. Every time you add a different font size, it has to render that separately. Same goes for fonts.

So an example could be, you are using a 14 pt font for main icons or something, then when selected that opens up a sub page/sub menu with more buttons using different sized fonts etc... So when the panel boots the first time selecting things and switching pages, you're gonna see it be much slower because it's having to render all those sizes of buttons and fonts. Then after you've gone through it the panel will be a bit quicker since they have loaded

Now it's probably becoming less of a problem as panels are getting faster and such.
Re: Popups or pages

 

That's an interesting one - my understanding is that controls consume memory as each state is allocated RAM and rendered, with the text "layer" taking up another chunk.

Having a mixture of fonts in a theme will certainly use up more RAM since the "glyphs" that represent each character are loaded up along with the theme (in its entirety) whether it's ever used at runtime or not**, but I wouldn't have thought that different *sizes* would make any difference.? In the most part, the glyphs don't have size - they're just scaled when they're rendered - and as they're rendered into the text layer of the control's memory allotment, this shouldn't impact on RAM use.

But... if that's what Crestron say, maybe there's more to it.

** That's why there are different versions of the themes for international vs latin character sets (i.e. if you don't need Chinese, Cyrillic, Arabic etc... you can save yourself?a LOT of?RAM.
