Re: Scraping Sites

 

Thank you both, that is very helpful.

Hi,

I've just finished the "Hello World" of scraping in a project and have a
nice but pointless weather display on my touch panel to save me looking out
of the window.

I decided to do something a bit more useful and get some local train times
on there....

Thought this was a good place to start:



I don't seem to be getting back what I was expecting and wondered if I
have misunderstood how this works.

My main question really is

Should I be able to do this?
or does the site have to offer up some form of rss feed like yahoo does?
Or am I not going to be able to scrape sites that are generated using PHP
or ASP?

Thanks for any help,

Matt

Re: Scraping Sites

Brad Gibbs
 

Best not to scrape sites where an API is available. (Good) API providers only break the API out of necessity, where a site's HTML can change without notice.

Here's a description of their SOAP XML API that should meet your needs.

Re: DM 8x8 Question

 

it's exactly what I am doing when a customer wants to open tvs on news channel for example, and after switch to ipod music in the multiroom , with the TVs continues to show the news picture , i put special source : 99 --> sure the dm will not go to a black picture.

Re: Samsung UE55ES7000 - EX-Link

 

Thanks,

But does this actually apply to me? The pdf regarding the module I am using has no mention of injecting power...

I am connecting directly from an AV2 to the EX-Link port.

Have I missed something here? When others connect Ex-Link do you not connect directly?

--- In Crestron@..., "javimanga" <javimanga@...> wrote:




Hi!

Check this info about ex-link

Specially this!!!:

"As the TV uses 3.3V TTL levels, the serial input/output has to be converted to/from TTL levels to RS232 levels (~10-15V). Thus a level shifter is needed. But most computers today, doesn't have an RS232 port, so you also need a USB-to-RS232 serial adapter (cable). Thus its a definite advantage to buy a pre-fabricated USB-to-serial converter using 3.3 Volt TTL levels on the serial side. Common one to look for are based on the PL2303 and FTDI chips.
WARNING! RS232 levels are up to 15V, which can cause seriously damage at your TV!"

Hi,

I hope someone can have some patience and spoon feed me through this as I have sat here for hours and have got nowhere. I am guessing a bit so please let me know if I am doing something stupid.

Firstly this may all be down to me using a module that may not work as I can't find my TV.

I have a: UE55ES7000
Closest I can find is the UN55ES8000

I've made up a cable for EX-LINK control using the diagram in the module pdf

(integrated_partner_modules/help_files/959/samsung_un55es8000_v1_0_help.pdf)

Tested cable with multi-meter, seems fine.

I have set the value of the RS232 mode to Debug.

Tried a basic test with the module set up like this:



I'm getting nothing in debugger on Samsung_Rx$ and the TV responds to nothing鈥�

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.
Re: 347V on/off control.

TPCS-4SM won't take program?

 

Hi there everybody.

My first TPCS-4SM. Loaded the SIMPL program, appeared to go fine, but Toolbox info reports no program. Cannot debug. Program does not appear to be running. Tried restarting the panel and my PC. Running latest firmware. Panel connected directly to my laptop. Cresnet devices in the program, but not connected.

At the DEV console, "DIR" returns what appears to be the correct file list.

I had an MC3 that seemed to have a similar issue. Only fix was a firmware downgrade.

VTPro project seems to run fine.

Anyone run into something similar?

TIA

Cool - thanks. Makes sense. Was fascinated with 3-phase AC back when I had a class on industrial motors, so I'm familiar with the US formats - didn't realize they varied so far out of the country...

Re: Grace Internet Tuner

Randall Gay
 

Does anyone know what ports the Grace Digital Tuner uses
for feedback?听 Are they the standard UDP 1900 and TCP 2869?

Has anyone tried the protocol using a UDP or TCP client
to decode the feedback?听 Does the standard HTTP v1 GET statement work?

I have a job trying to install either this radio or the
CEN-Track for Pandora and wanted to see if anyone has successfully pulled the
feedback from this unit.
Thanks,

Re: Tesla Model S

I had found this when searching the internet as well, but I might need some spoon feeding on this one. This is defiantly a stretch from the programing I'm used to. How do I initiate the communication, and once i have opened this line of communication is it as simple as sending it the commands?

Re: Wait function within SIMPL+

 

I'm not as good with Simpl+ as alot of guys here, but one way would be:
Declare a global variable (x) which gets set to 1 when the analog input changes. In the PUSH event declare variable y & initialize to 0. Put a DO Until loop in the PUSH event, with Until(y=30 || or x=1)
Inside the Do Until put a wait for 1 sec and then an If Else statement which executes if x=1, else increment y. After the Do Until, put an If statement which executes if y=30.
If you don't need to check every second, do a 5 sec wait, and exit the Do Until when y=6

--- In Crestron@..., "coolaiddrinker" <coolaiddrinker@...> wrote:

I am having issues with a small code. During a push event, i want to be able to wait for 30 seconds.

If the wait functions timesout, then one block of code within push event will be executed.

or If i receive a change in analog input, i want to cancel that wait and run separate code of block within the same push event.

how do I achieve this?

Re: Daikin on an MC3

Heather Baiman
 

Yes, in January, I didn't have to change anything; I pretty much did a save-as from my 2-series program.

I use the following modules though:
Daikin ITC IO V3.0
Daikin ITC Feedback Splitter V3.0.umc
Daikin ITC Unit V4.0

The last few times I tried to use the ITC IO V4.0 I could never communicate.

Has anyone used the Daikin modules on the crestron site on a 3 series processor.

I'm having trouble getting the direct socket to connect. I put in a TCP/IP client with the same parameters (IP/port) and it connects fine.

There's a note in the text file to force the Daikin IC to use 10baseT connection but I don't have access to change that right now.

VoicePod Module / Crestron Integration Opportunity

 

Hello All. I am the founder of HouseLogix, a Pennsylvania technology company. For those of you who monitor the Control4 world, you probably have heard of our VoicePod product by now. See www.voicepod.com. We are just launching VoicePod May 13th after three years of development and a successful six month beta program. We recently received a US Patent on VoicePod and have registered hundreds of dealers in the past few weeks.

In a nutshell, VoicePod is a new wireless device designed to "speech enable" any home automation system. Each VoicePod combines voice recognition (both speaker-dependent and speaker-independent) technology with speech-synthesis and text-to-speech technologies inside a small device with wireless communications. VoicePod is packaged as a wireless tabletop device with a built in speaker and microphone. But it can be wall mounted or rack mounted using external microphones and interface with external audio systems as well. All technology is embedded, so VoicePod recognizes commands instantly. Its voice commands and menus are completely customizable.

The first flavor of VoicePod provides both Zigbee support and serial integration through a built-in serial port. We are publishing VoicePod's serial integration protocol. We also have Wi-fi and iOS versions well underway that each will support full IP integration. I won't try to explain the whole product fully here since our website and videos do a good job of that. www.voicepod.com/faq has a lot of answers.

I'm here because we would like see some Crestron implementations of VoicePod. We are Control4 experts and Control4's DriverWorks tool allowed us to create very robust Control4 support for our launch. We have no expertise in Crestron (or AMX, Savant, etc) and are looking for some help with making sure our product finds its way into the Crestron world.

There seems to be a lot of Crestron expertise floating around this "colorful" forum so I thought I'd seek some partners and early adopters on here. Ideally, we're looking for experienced Creston dealers with a customers who want VoicePod. We'd like to work with some dealers to build a free (or marketable) Crestron module suitable for serial and/or IP integration with VoicePod. We would provide discounted hardware and a superb level of support to early adopters in the Crestron world.

Our product is a home run for both luxury living and for the disabled at the same time. If interested in working with us, feel free to email me at ted.rosenberger@....
