Steve,
Yes. I've seen the issue before. It's something to do with the curly braces being escape/special characters in C#.
eg.
Console.WriteLine("My Integer Is {0}, My Second Integer is {1}", myInteger, myInteger2);
So the compiler interprets the opening { in your string as the beginning of something to replace.
As a workaround, if you remove the { and } from your TempStr$ then add them after using +, then the problem goes away. I did a quick test and the following code works:
makestring(TempStr$,"%sA%u%s:%u",Quote,Index,Quote,Value);
TempStr$ = "{" + TempStr$ + "}";
Chris.

Re: Somfy SDN control via CP3
I tested a motor with a similar string (different node id) and it works fine from an RMC3,? double-check the node id.
Otherwise, I am not sure why it is not working.
Make sure in your com port there is no delimiter set.

Found it, but you're right, there is some risk involved. Since its mostly dead already I don't have much to lose however shopping for a replacement might be a better use of my time. :-)

Re: Somfy SDN control via CP3
No delimiter, by delimiter you mean in the COM port definition where TX/RX goes right? 4800, 8, 1, O is correct, RS485, None for handshaking. ? Looks correct to me, also you have no delimiter correct?? ?4800? 8 1 O for settings correct? ?

Inside, hidden under a small board. But based on question, I think that would not be a good idea to open it without knowledge about what you¡¯re doing. Enviado do meu iPhone

Haven't done that yet. I'm attempting it now. Thank you!

Re: On site : Multiple identical simpl+ modules in one program

Hi Random Guy,
are you using the old "DMP 64/128" or the new "DMP 64/128 Plus"?
If I remember right there are a few modules in the files section, I did some work on this almost 3 years ago.
When using the module that I modified and uploaded, please have a look at the example. It sets the DMP to verbose mode 3, which is important to make the module work properly.
In addition, each module needs to be polled upon startup before usage, this will initialize the values and feedback.
Questions welcome

You try pressing HWR once then quickly SWR 3 or 5 times?
It goes away for like 8-10mins and should come back after that

+1 to the SD card failing. You are describing the classic symptoms. I unfortunately have no experience with Prodigy so I¡¯m not sure if there are any recovery options for replacing the card DIY like some others have done with MC3.

Probably the famous SD Card issue.

Re: On site : Multiple identical simpl+ modules in one program
#programming
Random Guy,
Your best bet would be to get on the discord channel and ask for help there. My guess here would be something in the coding is causing this issue but without seeing the program and how the signals are ran, it wouldn't be very likely we could just give you an answer.

On site : Multiple identical simpl+ modules in one program
#programming
Hey all, hoping for some help. I'm using an Extron DSP Group control module from here, and I'm using 4 of them to control 4 different volume groups. My issue is that if I do Volume Up or Down on one of them, the volume feedback for the all 4 adjust together.
I called Crestron and they said they couldn't help, thought the modules would need 'Unique Modifiers' but couldn't help with that.
I even tried creating 4 separate modules with different names, but the same thing happens.
In my mind I expected that since each module has it's own place in Simpl, ie S-7.1.1, S-7.2.1. that each one would be independent, but tech support says no, they act as one..
If anyone can help out it would be great, I'm in a bit of a jam time wise.

Who knows what is correct.? But thanks for the reply.? I think I have a working solution but after reading your reply, I do need to check to make sure it works for Analogs greater than 32K.? It may spit out negative numbers instead if the help file is correct.?
It is highly unlike that Crestron will fix a compiler bug for the Series3 when it is being replaced with the Series4.? Shoot, theyr never did fix the broken sendmail() function on the series3 whereas the Series2 has always done it right.

I get the difference between %d and %u as I indicated in my last sentence, but actually, according to the help document, an ANALOG_INPUT is "treated as signed or unsigned values inside of a SIMPL+ program depending on the operators or functions being used." Maybe it's printing a "d" because it's interpreting the ANALOG_INPUT as signed somehow and it's printing its type instead of its value? I dunno, just spitballing and just curious if %d would work in your code. If it does work, I'd need someone smarter than me to explain why.

It been a while for me with PCM3¡¯s, but have you tried to remove the Crestnet and see what happens? Maybe too much current draw or a short? Gary ?
