I was getting the "There was a problem sending the command to the program." error on both of my Windows 8 PCs when trying to open a .vtp file by double clicking on it. Very annoying. There are similar issues with Word and Excel which led me to the fix.

Open the registry editor, do a back up, and then I deleted the following 2 entries:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT&#92;VisionTools.Document&#92;shell&#92;open&#92;ddeexec

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT&#92;VisionTools.Project&#92;shell&#92;open&#92;ddeexec

That fixed it for me. Hope that helps somebody.

Re: EISC offline

 

Current firmware causes EISC issues with certain network switches. I think I had to roll everything back to 4.003.xxx to fix it.

The MC2E hasn't ever had this problem.

Any thoughts?

It works okay with iDoc, haven't used it with Audionet, and I've had bad luck with it on TRACK AM/FM/XM.

One thing I've found on a couple of systems now is that when using it with the iDoc, it screws up the menus for the "old" style logic. The first two pages of menus in the tree come out blank the second time you try to access them.

Re: Trying to parse RS232

 

Here's another method, to beat a horse to death. :)

LAMP = (BYTE(rx$,3) << 8) + BYTE(rx$,2);

Thanks for the replies, basically this is how a Hitachi projector returns its lamp hours, I know the lamp has currently done 974 hours.
Which in HEX is 3CE, so I want to strip out everything else and pass out 3CE to another module to convert the hex to decimal to get 974 (or whatever the hours our).

Matt you said I'm having issues because I'm starting my mid after the length of the string, how can I correct this?

Hi All,

I would really appreciate some help, as I can't see what I'm doing wrong.

I've got an RS232 command "&#92;x1D&#92;xCE&#92;x03" that I want to output as 03CE.

Here's what I have so far:

if (Find("&#92;x1D", FromDevice$))
{
Stored$ = FromDevice$;
Trash$ = remove("&#92;x1D", Stored$); // Stored$ = &#92;xCE&#92;x03
string1 = mid(Stored$,3,3);

output$ = string1;
}
I've done this to test, to see if I could get the middle of Stored$.
So I would expect output$ to be "E&#92;", but its coming out empty. What am I doing wrong?


Re: EISC offline

Heath Volmer
 

I had a problem between an MC3 and a PAC2. Some thing: offline/unknown.

Besides getting all of the FW up to date, I think what may have fixed it for us was wiping out the IP table in the MC3 program and reloading them. We may have done it on the PAC2 but I don't think so. It was like the IP table may have had not-completely-deleted "ghosts" pointing at other addresses that were confusing it. Haven't had it happen in a long time.

That's a bit strong of a statement. Roomview isn't exactly a task that requires programming skill. It's something you have to figure out, but it's no different that being presented with a strange protocol from some new device. Figure it out and make it work.

Doug,

You can install roomview express. It can be install on a local machine.

I think there's a demo file install with the software.

Very easy to use

Good luck.

Their is a demo on the crestron site of how to do room view.
And of note, the whole text message back and forth thing is not done
commonly from what I have seen.
Maybe it is, so even those of us that do room view all the time, this
might not be so cut and dry.

Core 3 subpage issues

 

I have a subpage with only 2 buttons on it. Neither of them work. I have quadruple checked the programming and its all correct. None of my buttons on any of the subpages are working. All buttons on regular pages are working just fine. Am I missing something here?

All help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris


Re: Opinions on Media Player Core3/SmartGraphics object?

 

Works beautifully with both. I've been running it at home for a few months.

I love that it allows full pandora integration including adding channels.

Patrick,

Take what I am about to say in the most helpful manner possible - you're an ass and what you wrote was in fact very rude.

I had a long response written explaining that I'm a resi guy and that I'm learning Roomview strictly for the certification exam, blah blah blah, but I decided it wasn't worth my time to reply to your pretentious response to my simple question. It's disappointing to know that guys like you decide to put down fellow programmers rather than simply not reply or take the 2 minutes to point someone in the right direction.

There was one thing you said that really stood out.


"I've never done a roomview system before"

Roomview is a staple of commercial programming. IMO, "never done roomview"
= shouldn't be able to be certified whether a test is passed or not.

Go out and do a roomview system. Figure out how it works. If you had done
a roomview system the answer to this question would be trivial. Then come
back next year and try for the certification.

Hi everyone,

I'm working on the new certification test and basically one of the
programs you have to be able to message back and forth from a V12
touchpanel to the helpdesk. I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience
integrating this in a touchpanel. I'm not quite sure where to start. I've
never done a roomview system before. Is that functionality built into the
roomview software/module.

If someone could point me in the right direction to get started, it
would be a big help. I need to learn this stuff so I'm not looking for a
completed program, just some general help/tips to get started.

Thanks!

Re: EISC offline

 

Sorry, to elaborate I remember someone posting about something similar. I want to say Neil/Jeremy maybe. Anyway whoever had issues out of a certain firmware 3-series and EISC with a 2-series. Thankfully I have not experienced the problem.
