multiple touchpanels
Nightcountry
Hoping someone can help - have multiple touchpanels ( 2x stx1700c and a
tps4-l )with a mc2e processor...same program in all three and I find they interfere with each other - volume ramps up inexplicably etc... short of doing an individual program for all three with different join numbers is there any way to separate the panels from each other? ie in one zone someone engages a volume interlock and that same interlock is now engaged for all zones.... |

Re: "Party Mode" - Serial/Analog signals slowing network
Probably the best method would be to only connect the touchpanel
Crosspoints when a source is selected from that particular touchpanel - not when activated by Party Mode. That way, the touchpanels would only receive the data if they were already on the iPod page, or if they switched to the iPod page after Party Mode is initiated. However, that's not how I set mine up. If a zone is switched to a source by *any* method (another TP, remote, Party Mode, etc.), any touchpanel(s) connected to that zone will also be connected to the source, and flip to the control page. I haven't encountered any serious delays (or at least, no complaints), but if necessary, some type of "Please Wait" message could be displayed while the Party Mode is initiating. The Broadcast symbol would be a good solution, but updating doesn't seem to be as reliable. I also wish there was a version with joins higher than 127, although that can be done with code, if necessary. You're not *supposed* to have the same signals connected to the touchpanel(s) and a Broadcast symbol at the same time, but I've never actually tried it. --- In Crestron@..., "nick.dietz" <nick@...> wrote: mode" either the cresnet or processor gets bogged down.Xpoint and the feedback signals have to get routed to each TP.

While working on yachts and multi TV standards, I've had to used numerous devices, unfortunately all the good reliable ones are not cheap.

Help with Homevision
goldengot
I can't seem to figure this one out. I am trying to use HV and an
old ST-CP to control x-10 lights in a particular room. I created a simple SIO that maps back to a homevision controller with the ASCII string 'lights' in str1 which is tied directly to the touchpanel. So in theory when the user pressed the hv_light button it sends a string through the serial into the home vision. The home vision has been configured to accept any text over 1 character (testing purposes). When the button is pressed, nothing happens. It works within the terminal emulator, but not connected to the st-cp. There was a post by Geoffrey Reynolds detailing how to do this (see below) The homevision part works just fine but the Crestron piece is another question. It appears to be sending hex through the serial and not ASCII. If anyone has had any experience in setting up Crestron alongside Homevision, please detail your exact steps (i.e. which mods were used if any, which analog or digital symbols, strings that were used, if you had to convert using HEX, which baud rate is used on the serial driver, etc. In other words, any information that you can give me that would make my life easier. TIA In HomeVision: From the main menu, select Objects/Events -> Serial Data Input -> Port1 (substitute Port2, Port3, etc. as appropriate for your situation) This will give you a window where you can program HomeVision to respond to events on a serial port. Next, configure the logic that will handle serial events by, for example, setting up a series of If - Then - End If statements. Start by clicking the If Then button in the ACTIONS toolbar. Next, the ACTIONS toolbar switches to the CONDITIONS toolbar. Now, select the SERIAL button. I've found the most useful condition to be "Serial input characters # through # are :'____' - this lets you listen for a specific string to come from the Crestron controller. Now enter the string you want and press OK. Now click on End If and the toolbar switches back to ACTIONS. Click X10 and choose the X10 action you want to perform. That's all you need to do on the HomeVision side. It sounds a bit clunky (and is), but is pretty easy to use and will work very reliably once you have it programmed. Now just program your Crestron program to send the appropriate strings terminated with \n. HomeVision has default support for it's OSD remote control commands, so some strings are reserved: ,J0\n = 0 ,J1\n = 1 ... ,J9\n = 9 ,JA\n = Enter ,JB\n = Channel Up ,JC\n = Channel Down ,JD\n = Volume Up ,JE\n = Volume Down ,JF\n = Cancel |

So little? They're giving you the ability to add up to nine
additional com ports to your AV2 - among other possibilities - without resorting to external bus devices. You're not paying for what it is, but for what it enables you to do... :) - Chip --- In Crestron@..., Rodney Young <rodney_james_young@...> wrote: Crestron would charge so much for so little. |

If you are trying to do absolute mouse coordinates (e.g. press the screen button you want to click directly), the CNMK won't do it. The mouse protocol is all relative. About the best you can do with the CNMK and a TPS2000 in have a left, right, up, down, and click keys overlaid on the video output of the DVR. You use the arrow keys to move the cursor and then press the click key -- kind of awkward in my opinion. Also, I have found that if you have a lot of Cresnet devices in addition to the CNMK, the mouse movements will become very erratic. If the DVR has an XY RS232 input protocol much like that with Escient music managers, then it would be better to forgo the CNMK, use a slider on the TPS2000, and feed the position information to the DVR via an RS232 port.

Lutron HomeWorks RF module?
Hello,
We're doing our first HomeWorks RF job and find that there is no Crestron module that will work. The ones in SIMPL and in the files area here do not work for phantom keypad button presses or feedback. In looking at the RS-232 protocol, the HomeWorks RF processor is looking for the KBP command to have an extra "Device Type" parameter. A HomeWorks wired processor will take a command such as: KBP, [01:04:10], 1 This is processor 1, link 4, kp address 10, button 1 A HomeWorks RF processor needs a command formatted as: KBP, [01:08:02:10], 1 This is processor 1, link 8, device type 2, kp address 10, button 1 All of the modules we've tried do NOT allow the device type to be included in the command string. The feedback that Lutron provides also has this device type. Does anyone have a module that works for a HomeWorks RF processor? We've temporarily created one-way strings to activate the scenes but two-way needs to work soon! We're not yet good at creating our own modules or parsing serial strings to extract the proper feedback. Thanks, George |
