Re: Strange memory errors on AES
Jeremy Weatherford
Program and web files are stored in flash memory, this is also what
gets compacted periodically. It's what the processor uses instead of a disk. SIMPL+ programs use RAM as working space while they are running, and this is what they are running out of. The AES has a limited amount of memory compared to the PRO2 and other "big" processors, and it's even worse because of the enormous chunk of Adagio SIMPL+ that must be loaded. I would probably start by seeing if some of the modules you are using can be stripped down, or the buffer sizes reduced in the SIMPL+ modules.

Strange memory errors on AES
I'm curious if anyone has seen this kind of problem, it's a little hard to describe.
Once in perhaps four or five program loads, the program starts up spewing memory errors. Many of the Simpl+ programs which use memory complain they can't write to memory. Eventually the hardware watchdog restarts the unit, but usually the errors start again and the reboot loop continues. I suspect it might be a problem with failure to compact properly on load. The AES has about 3.5MB of memory, my program is about 2.3MB and I have one iPad (650KB) and one iPhone (225K) on there, only one of each type allowed. The problem seems to occur after reloading the iPad/iPhone apps a few times then reloading the program. One time I tried manually compacting when the problem started and I got an error to the effect it couldn't allocate a pool for compaction or something like that (can't recall exactly). To further muddy the waters, I can't seem to recreate the error anywhere but in this one installation. I tried swapping out the AES itself, but it happens on the new one as well. All firmware and software is the latest. Ideas? TB hasn't been helpful. Thanks, Barry |

Re: Crestron Mobile Pro G - Designing in Landscape
lunartech
Have you discovered the Anchoring option in VTPro?
Open the Properties tab and select an item on the page, you will see an anchoring option in the properties tab that allows you to deal with the rotation issues to some extent. On a recent foray into it myself I found that setting a sub page: Left=No, Top=No, Right=Yes, Bottom=Yes FixedWidth=Yes, FixedHeight=Yes AND having a sub page 748px wide X 518px high set 400px from top and 10px from left *just* about centers the sub page in portrait mode BUT it slides it to the right edge of the page, to me preferable as they can use their thumb to operate cursor controls close to the edge of the page. I placed a main nav strip horizontally at the top of the page and a footer at the bottom but there is still a big gap between top nav and the sub page in portrait, however in landscape you wind up with a big gap to the left and right of the sub page. I hate it but what else can you do? While it has its own set of shortcomings I still think CommandFusion slays Crestrons answer to the iPad! Seriously, no develop in landscape mode? No horizontal scrolling lists? C'mon Crestron! I could be dead wrong about this but, I'm not so sure about 30 iPads on a single processor with CommandFusion. Seeing as how the EISC limit is around 30 or so, having 30 S+ direct sockets may prove fallible if too many are in use at one time, it would be a real suckfest to run into this problem late in the project.

Subject: [Crestron] Crestron Mobile Pro G - Designing in Landscape I have a job here that has a vast amount of iPads (around 30) but the caveat to it is a majority of them will be wall mounted.

Re: SystemBuilder & DM
Georges Khalil
Thanks for your answer. But how do I setup the switching itself? Where do I
tell SB which TV is on which output and which source is on which input? I may be blind, but I can't find that! When I programmed Prodigy, there was a switching tab that I used. I can't find anything similar with Adagio. Thanks. Georges Khalil, M.Sc.A.

Re: Does anyone know the number or HDMI keys that the "new" Mac Mini provides?
FWIW, I did (or didn't) do that on the first one or two e-mails. I included links to several different HDMI matrices in the third or fourth e-mail, as an act of semi-desperation and to make sure that they had an example of what an HDMI matrix switcher is/does. I was actually going to included a couple of wikipedia links instead, but thought that that might not come off well. A tad pedantic, maybe? ;)

I totally hear you on that practice though... its like a moth to flame when you offer up a tried-and-true 'out' to tech support: "Oh, you're not working exclusively with our hardware/software?

Re: iPad issues
The actual VTPro-E file is about 23,600KB. There are dynamic graphics for weather icons (x4), shade animations (x2), and iPod album art (x2) but none of them are ever updated simultaneously. The button that always freezes the app up is the iPod button which is only tied to logic that shows the iPod subpage, routes audio, and shows a note if there is no device docked or the database is loading/failed etc. Nothin has been changed with this button since it previously worked for about 3 days. What should I look for graphic wise that would cause the app to lock up?

Issue Touch Tone (DTMF) via control system
yellowfin684
Ive got a gate to control that has momentary contact closure inputs to both open and close the gate. But the phone system is tied to the gate and from the phone system, you have more control. By pressing the following buttons:
1 = open (closes after 30 sec) 2 = open for 30 min 3 = Close 4 = Open indefinitely until the user closes it from phone system The gate seems to be sensing the touch tone from the phone system to determine its behavior. The problem is, if the gate is open indefinitely or for a 30 min stretch, my little momentary contact closure from the control system won't close the gate. I am looking for a widget that can issue touch tones (at least buttons 1-4) Can someone point me in the right direction? |

Do all graphics on subpages, ie crestrons demo projects, set to join 0 if you like. Then set the subpages not to scale on rotation. then none of your buttons will either. /Brad --- In Crestron@..., "xsdesignstudios" <xsdesignstudios@...> wrote:

Systembuilder will control the switching funstions of DM just fine. The main feature it wont support is using the IR/Relays/RS232 on the room boxes.

Re: IDOC-V Makes Buzzing Noise
yellowfin684
The TB agent that spoke with your tech must not be informed. CEN-IDOCV's experience a bad batch about six months after their release. We got about 3 bad ones that buzzed. At the time we had to wait about 3 weeks for them to make a running change in production. This should be a know issue but also should have been resolved a long time ago. Either you have a really old CEN-IDOV or the problem has crept up again.

Re: Crestron Mobile Pro G - Designing in Landscape

I just have to toss my hat in the ring for commandfusion. There are a few posts here about how not that the ipad has a native touchpanel symbol the Crestron solution may be less processor demanding, but it looks like the commandfusion solution will almost always have more "iPadness" to it. Swiping, scrolling, gestures, etc.

I am told that 5 iPads in a LARGE project concurrently connected to the system may be the limit of CommandFusion, but I am not really sure. Then of course there is always the new found speed and horsepower of the the MC3 that might help in accommodating more iPads. --- In Crestron@..., "lunartech" <lunartech@...> wrote:

Re: New Processors/Software and Modules Issues?
Yes, there is no way to compile locked S+ modules - why don't ask this feature from TB?
My advise is to wait for a year of using series 3 in commercial projects) But if situation is exigent (have you another when installing?), let's send me the locked USPs (except serial/activation protect routines, of cause) - I'll recompile em on current S+ for series 3 and send back locked without compile log for keeping developer's shame) |

My tip would be to use CommandFusion all the way.
