Well both of them are in the beta of SIMPL at this point so that is always a
good sign of things to come. I'd say it is likely they could ship any day
based on previous trends of when things show up in the beta folder.

Anyone know the status of these products? Has anyone used these
products? Opinions?

Hi is anyone else having a problem when compiling a vtpro

program -

the program is taking 300,000 kb in memory - have an I-7 processor
with 6 gigs of ram
and am still having problems - with vt 3.8 and now with vt 3.9
thanks

Thats odd because the program that is causing the most problems is
one for a TPS6L -

I was having MASSIVE compile time problems with both VTPro-e and
SIMPL Windows for some time now - ever since I got my new computer
this past fall (a dual core T9300 laptop, 2GB RAM, XP Pro SP3,
etc.). Just yesterday I figured out what the problem was (after
trying a bunch of things with TB). When I got the new PC, my files
were moved from my C: drive to My Documents folder. The difference?
My Documents (here at the college, anyway) is configured by our IT
department as a network drive, not a local drive. It works great for
keeping things automatically backed up and accessible everywhere, but
it turns out that SIMPL and VTPro-e do NOT like to compile off of the
network. At all.

Interesting notes: when compiling from the network drive, it would
take upwards of 30 minutes to compile a SIMPL program with the MPS-
100 module in it. As soon as I copied it to the C drive, it took 14
seconds! Same with VTPro-e: I had a TPMC-15-QM panel that took 20
minutes to compile. Copied to C drive... compiles in less than 10
seconds!

Lesson for me: keep files on the C drive, back them up regularly via
some other method, and compile problems go away.

I really hope this helps solve your problems, I was extremely
frustrated with compile times for several months... so I know how you
feel.

Can anyone point me to (or send me) a simple program were controlling a
Sierra router is involved?

I have a SierraPro XL1204 that doesn't react on the commands I try to
send it. I have probably missed something but were?

The protocol is on "host protocol" on the router and the bits and flow
control is set the same on both the com and the Sierra.

I'm using the Sierra Router macro included with Crestron Simpl Windows.

Any help out there?

Thanks

I too am experiencing the hang at about 50% as it tries to do something with the fonts. It
always finishes eventually, however.

Oddly enough, I've just been sent another spec from Samsung. It
gives PC1 and PC2 as &#92;x15 and &#92;x16 respectively.

So that would make:
PC1:
&#92;xAA&#92;x14&#92;xFE&#92;x01&#92;x15&#92;x28

PC2:
&#92;xAA&#92;x14&#92;xFE&#92;x01&#92;x16&#92;x29

I'm not sure which code maps to which input as the protocol doc

AV:
&#92;xAA&#92;x14&#92;xFE&#92;x01&#92;x0C&#92;x1F

S-Video:
&#92;xAA&#92;x14&#92;xFE&#92;x01&#92;x04&#92;x17

"MagicNet": (only on some displays apparently)
&#92;xAA&#92;x14&#92;xFE&#92;x01&#92;x20&#92;x33

You could (at your own risk!) try different parameters in the

second

to last byte. The final byte is a checksum and is simply the lower
byte of the addition of all the preceeding bytes *AFTER* the &#92;xAA.

Glad you're making progress,

This is good news ;-) It is the MDC protocol.

The &#92;xFE (3rd byte) is the display ID and FE means "any

Try these instead:
Composite
&#92;xAA&#92;x14&#92;xFE&#92;x01&#92;x0C&#92;x1F

VGA
&#92;xAA&#92;x14&#92;xFE&#92;x01&#92;x14&#92;x27

Which other inputs do you need to select?

Good luck,

None of the commands you supplied did anything to my unit. :

Hi,

Does this unit use Samsung's MDC protocol?

Could you post the command strings for on/off and I'll see

if

they

match what I have. If they are MDC then you could try

these:

(these are for a display on ID:0)

On
&#92;xAA&#92;x11&#92;xFF&#92;x01&#92;x01&#92;x12

Off
&#92;xAA&#92;x11&#92;xFF&#92;x01&#92;x00&#92;x11

&#92;xAA&#92;x14&#92;xFF&#92;x01&#92;x0C&#92;x20

VGA
&#92;xAA&#92;x14&#92;xFF&#92;x01&#92;x14&#92;x28

If they work and you need other's, just let me know.

Fingers crossed!

the semi-colon after the if() is a valid statement from the parser's point of
view; it just doesn't do what you want/expect

here is a simple example of how that is useful; the following 'C' code copies
a NULL-terminated string, where 'p' points to the destination and 'q' points
to the source:. The while() terminates when the NULL terminating byte is hit.

while (*p++ = *q++)
; // <- note lone semi-colon

ya' just gotta love pointers...sure wish SIMPL+ had 'em.......

Not fatal in that way, just fatal in term of doing what you want. And,

Anyone else working on this or got this working? I believe I have the
checksum calculation working correctly, and am getting the expected
&#92;xFD ACK response to all my commands, but the player resolutely
doesn't do anything at all. If I send the command to get the version
number, I don't get what the protocol doc says, I just get the ACK
command. Disappointing....

OP

And nuke the semicolon at the end of the IF statement line - I think
what you had is equivalent to "if this condition is met, do absolutely
squat". :)

Function Main()
{
FOR(i = 10 to 1 Step -1)
{
IF(IsSignalDefined(in$[i]))
{
TRACE("i = %d", i);
BREAK;
}
}
}

I/O arrays in S+, right? Yeah - that's been my experience... Since
I've been wrapping S+ modules in SIMPL module wrappers pretty
consistently of late, I just define the last array with the [x,x]
format anyway to force the expansion of ALL the input/outputs anyway.

both able to be sized in Simpl? Only the last defined array of that
type?

You will need to add a serial driver to the Lutron program. If you have
a Lutron system that was giving feedback and has had a recent Lutron
update from Lutron software you will lose feedback unless you have the
driver setup in Lutron.
