Re: Off Topic - killing laptops - any advice?

So in theory you could have your server run a VM for each programmer and
have as many instances of VTPRO as you have VMs, correct?

Rdp. No it works great. Like I said the only drawback is only 1 person
can
have vt pro open at a time. But simpl windows works fine running
multiple
copies by multiple users.

Re: HELP WITH MLX-3

 

I set up Squeezebox using an MLX3 with a list length of 10 items and have
logic to trigger the page-down and -up commands when scrolling off the
bottom/top of a list and then highlight the top/bottom item. It works
pretty well. I prefer it to separate page up/down buttons within the list.

That said, I do still prefer my CommandFusion or Xpanel remotes for
selecting music.

Thanks for the suggestion but I've been through the example program. It is

There are a few useful macros but for what I'm asking it's not very
helpful. I also called TB. The support rep had never coded a MLX3. I knew
more than he and most of his advice was incorrect.

I have the MLX3 working. I do not want to follow the example program's
paradigm and have 30 VT-Pro pages with individual logic on every page
buffered via the page in use.

Clearly, the firmware was written to allow external logic from VT-Pro to
control the MLX3. The example program presupposes that the remote will be
hard coded in VT-Pro. Is this the superior mode of dealing with the remote?

If I wanted to have 12 VT-pro files, all hard coded, the example program
would work well enough. But I'm trying to template the MLX3 so that it's
coded from Simpl, not VT-Pro. I want a single MLX3 file for as many remotes
are in the project and the example program is not much use for this. The
MLX3, lighting and HVAC aside, is a list within a list within a list. I'm
merely curious if anyone has rolled their own scrolling list logic and
found any benefit to using the default scrolling text the remote provides?

the MLX3 function better than when using its default scrolling logic VT-Pro

there is an example program for the MLX-3 on the crestron web site. It
includes an example iPod interface. You can adopt this to other devices
such as a squeezebox without a lot of trouble.

Personally, I've always tied an MLX-3 remote to a given room as nobody
likes to go searching around the house for the TV remote. But, it wouldn't
be hard to program a room selection list and then just drive the source
selection based on a room.

Hope this helps

I've been playing with this remote over the weekend. It's been specified
into a job and it's the first time I've coded one.
r
My preliminary testing suggests that if I seed the unit with serial text
and the size of the list dynamically it works rather well using the built
in scroll wheel and feedback.

But the unit does allow you to use your own scrolling list outside of
the remote.

Anyone know of any advantage to using the built-in scrolling
functionality vs external, roll your own list logic?

I don't have an issue coding the list external to the remote. It just
seems unnecessary, based upon my testing. Being a lone coder, I may be
missing something so I figured I'd take advantage of the board's experience
to confirm or challenge my conclusion.

Secondarily, how have others solved the problem of page up and down with
devices such as Squeezebox, the Autonomic MMS or an iPod that requires page
up/down commands? I've chosen to provide an extra 2 buttons, one at the top
for page up, and the other at the end of the list for page down. Within
those 2 fixed button strings the dynamic text resides.

I removed the channel presets from the DVR page, substituting missing
buttons such as page up/down and day up/down.

For BD I followed a path above, including buttons such as home, audio,
subtitle that are not on the remote.

Anyone coding this as a global control device? I suspect it's inevitable
that sales will demand this, even if the iPad is a better UI for global
control. I've found HVAC and shades relatively easy to make global,
lighting has been a problem in terms of seeding the page flip from the room
crosspoint. A scrolling list of rooms connecting to a list of sources
sounds rather familiar to those of us coding the Adagio.

I just cannot fathom why someone would offer this UI as anything but a
single room control device.

Anyway, any thoughts on the first part, using the built-in scrolling
list on the remote vs using code external to the remote, would be
appreciated.

TIA,

Alan

Re: Off Topic - killing laptops - any advice?

 

+1 for Asus. I'm running a custom built maxed out Asus G74 and these things are GREAT! They're made for hardcore gaming, so they have DUAL heatsinks & Fans for cooling, and the whole back end is the heat outlet. Basically the CPU gets one heatsink and fan, and the GPU gets it's own set as well.

Thing doesn't even break a sweat when running multiple Simpl, VTPro's, Photoshops, Outlook, OneNote, dozens of webpages in Firefox, etc. all at the same time.

I too have lost at least 2 previous laptops due to heat issues, no matter how much I clean them, and do upkeep. I guess running a laptop like you'd run a server is a good way to kill it in short order. That's why I went with the Asus this time around... (plus the think is about as fast as of machine as I could find and still afford.) I've gone through a Toshiba, HP, and a SysteMax.

Re: New file uploaded to Crestron

 

Now moved from Files root to the Modules folder....

This cheap little box works really well for streaming video sources -- only thing it's missing is Vudu, which is supposedly coming. Their protocol doesn't support browsing without a display connected so it's not really a Squeezebox replacement but for video it's great. Here's a little control module.

Does anyone have the ir codes for the hopper yet , and willing to share?

Hi, Y'all,

Just to update you guys on this post. The Hopper remote has a switch in the battery compartment to switch the remote to IR. I will learn the remote for all and post it when I get back on site.

FYI, Kim

Yes, this is a new box from EchoStar, . Whole new remote and interface. It's always something to screw things up. The setup says it can do both IR and UHF. No unit codes like the old ones. Just says IR enable and disable in the menu. I'll give them a call and see what they can do for us and let you all know. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there who will be needing the info soon.

Sorry, just saw you said you already tried them.

If you press menu, menu on the dish remote. Does it have an IR address? Maybe default is not address 1. I have driver for 1,3,and,5 if that helps.

Re: SystemBuilder & prodigy project

Jesus @ Audio& Net Artist
 

Not sure about the latest update on composer, but the last prodigy I did I
started on composer then open it on SB to add some extra features
and heavily customize the system, that day i learned how much time you can
spent on SB if the project is not "prodigy normal configuration" and by
that I mean having a Yamaha RX3000 to work on multi zones and have to
change remote layout and ad buttons and so on... But hey I learned
something New!!!

Prodigy composer no longer supports system builder, system builder was
causing big technical support issue volume. People would be fine in
composer and when the got into system builder it would be ugly. You can use
either or not both anymore. They also discontinued a lot of prOdigy product
I believe for the same reason. I think they want to support a few products
and make it easy for the few products you can use.

the prodigy composer couldn't be opened in SB but you could still build a

All,

Has anyone had any success creating dynamic presets on the iPad that are
similar to the ones on the tpmc-3x? If so, I would appreciate any
assistance
in making my own that actually function decently and look good.

Thanks for the help!!

Re: AES & GLS-OIR-C-450

Joe Hostyn
 

You do need a GLS-SIM, none of the Crestron occupancy sensors will work with just an I/O (they need a versiport or GLS-SIM).? Devices like Adagio, PAC2M, do not have Versiports, only i/o, so you could use a standard security type motion sensor.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm using SB. I tried using inputs 1-4 but it didn't work. I'm using the cresnet bus to power the devices. I know the programming is good, because if I short manually the ports, lights turn on.

I had done something similar at another client's house. It was with a PAC2 (albeit in D3). Only difference I see is that the PAC2 has versiports and in the GLS-OIR-C-450 manual, it specifically requires versiports.

I'm thinking I need a relay that would convert the output of the GLS-OIR-C-450 to a dry contact. Or just use some GLS-SIM. Unless someone has another idea!

--- In Crestron@..., Tray Schaeffer <trayschaeffer@...> wrote:

I know D3 allows a generic digital input (look under devices). Tie that to the AES digital input and it should work.
Make sure you have a power supply for the sensor. Typically, the GLS-SIM provides sensor power, since there is no SIM you may need to get another source of power to the sensor.

AES has inputs 1-4, those will work for what you want.
I do not know if the AES in SB will let you input it though.

Hi all,

I have a client with a AES (programmed in SB). He now wants to add motion sensors.

My question to you is : Will the GLS-OIR-C-450 work with the AES? The AES doesn't have versiports and the GLS-OIR-C-450 requires one.

If not, would there be a cheaper solution that adding GLS-SIM modules?


Thanks.

Anyone have a door chime they would be willing to share? I've done it before
with the "armed/disarmed", but I figure I'd ask here before hunting the net.
I'm looking for a chime to go off from my panels when the door is opened,
because the security panel is behind a door in the mech room closet. 8 bit,
mono, 8000htz, pcm.
