Re: Control Processor Programming Slots #crestron

 

At one point I was told, that the processor manages the load dynamically, and assigns the resources based on the needs.?

In our systems we have something like that:
Slot 1 - UI interfacing, RoomView Interfacing, AV routing (Although, I'd like to put AV routing into separate slot)
Slot 2 - DSP
Slot 3 - lighting
Slot 4 - lecture capture

Advantage is that UI interface always behaves exactly the same, I rarely have to modify anything. Over the summer, we replaced the Echo360 with Cattura classroom capture devices. It only required to modify Slot 4 code. And once tested, the same code could be uploaded to different classrooms.?
Slot 1 program takes the button press from the UI (like Capture stop), and sends it to slot 4. Than the program in slot 4 takes that signal, turns it into the API command and controls the device....

Another advantage is that you can restart any of the programs, without restarting the main one, so if you upload slot3, slot 1 keeps running, so user does not even know anything happened.


Re: Samsung QE series & Samsung IP Display v1.3 driver #samsung

 

hi,? sry for this, but can anyone tell me how to get the driver you're using, I also want to get rid of the connection message. But when I register an account on drivers.creston.io, I never get the activation mail, regardlessof the email I use.

thanks.?


Re: Samsung QE series & Samsung IP Display v1.3 driver #samsung

 

So some progress at last.
After seeing the Provided MACAddress is not valid I simply assigned the MAC address to all the Attribute inputs.
I'll figure out which attribute is the MAC later.
The driver has now connected and I have control over many aspects.
Stuff not working:
* TV input
* Media Apps


Re: How accurate are C2N-RTHS? #c2n-rths

 

The main thing I believe that reflects that accuracy of these sensors is how closely coupled the DS18B20 is to the metal plate on the front of the sensor.? It can be position quite far from the plate and cause it to be very slow to respond to temperature changes.

The main issue I have with mine is the temperature it reading is sometimes get stuck in a mode that read a temperature much much higher than ambient. I should note that this is only the outdoor sensor and not the indoor sensor.?? I have seen it read a temperature as high as 150F when the outdoor temperature is more like 90F.? Of course sunlight falling on the sensor will also greatly increase its temperature.? When it gets in this mode, it will stay this way until I pull the thermostat off the wall to reset it.? Then it reads normally again.

The issue may condensation related.? But I think the issue is firmware related.? Otherwise when the condensation dries out, it should start reading normally again.

I normally use my Davis Weather station to read temperature as it is much more accurate and is not affected by sunlight shining on it. It is only an issue for me in the winter time although it can occur anytime in the year.? I have a dual fuel heating system.? I use the outdoor sensor to lock out my heat pump with the temperature gets too high or too low and switch over to propane instead.? My system continues to work when it starts reading too high but I land up burning very expensive propane when it happens.

Thanks Steve,

Some of these sensors are a good few years old and sending them back to Crestron is probably not worth it.
As stated I did do a very "un-scientific" test with my polystyrene box and did not bother with any form of circulation but figured the inside would reach a pretty ambient temperature overnight.

As I said I'm not too bothered about this and will live with it.
I was just curious on other people's experience.

Cheers for getting back.

Re: Modbus

 

I would request to the HVAC company to add bacnet to their system.? It will make your life infinitely easier.


Re: 2N API commands

 

In general you need the API license first to allow integration.? There is also an API page where you can turn off authorization which makes things easier.? After that test it in a browser first and when that is successful, move on to crestron.? I would have to dig into my archives further for details, but that will get you started.


Re: SimplWindows 4.14.21

 

I saw that thread and it made me curious... I run master installer periodically an it so happens that I run 4.14.20 now. Since when, I don't know, but I didn't notice anything strange.
Auto completion is on, christmas tree mode is on, all the normal shortcuts work as expected.


Control Processor Programming Slots #crestron

 

Hey Guys,
?
I need? some help in understanding the programming slots capacity in a control processors, like how the work load, memory, execution flow, etc... of a control processor is distributed among the 10 programming slots.??
?
?
Here is situation I am facing and I have the following devices to control from the control processor.
?
1. QSC core 110f and Netmax for audio
2. Nest Thermostat
3. HAI security controller
4. Enttec ODE for DMX lights
5. Lutron for lights and switches
6. Crestron Shades
?
Here some of the devices need to have continuous polling from the control process to make sure is connected to the control processor like the QSC core 110f, Netmax, HAI security etc....
?
Now what's the best way to program this ? like split the functionality among multiple programming slots ? QSC Core 110f in - Slot 1, Netmax in - Slot 2, etc..... Or is it better to dump all those functionality into one programming slot and keep rest of the programming slots empty.
?
I want to know how will this effect the performance of the control processor.
?
Thank You.


Re: CHV-TSTAT alternative to CHV-RSS (DS18B20) ?

 

The ground is the case ground (e.g. the metal clip) on the CHV-RSS. It is mainly to bleed off static charges on the chassis so they don't flash over and zap something.

Like I said, I drew this many years ago so it is not around anymore.? The capacitors are not critical.? C3 is probably either a 0.1uF or 0.01uF ceramic capacitor typical of bypassing.? Same goes for C4.? C1 provides the bulk charge to maintain the supply voltage while the DS18B20 DQ is shorting out the buss -- it is probably a 10 to 100uF capacitor.

Ahh, looks like I was close. I knew that diodes 5 and 6 looked suspect, and I was right that there were 431s in the circuit. Makes much more sense the way your schematic shows.

Not sure why you have a connection to ground through that 1M resistor, since these devices all only have 2 connections to TSTATs, and it looks like maybe the RTS has an extra cap in there for some reason. I guess I just need to figure out what value cap goes right next to the DS18B20 in my schematic and then I should be sorted. You didn't happen to get the values of those caps?

Re: CHV-TSTAT alternative to CHV-RSS (DS18B20) ?

 

Thank you both for the diagrams, I've tried dropping the voltages through the diodes and resistors with limited success.? In the end I usually replaced the sensor and went with what worked which included less components and more voltage.? I guess I kinda knew I was over driving them but some worked for many months before quitting, other a few days.? I'll try a more elegant circuit and see if that helps.

Re: Samsung QE series & Samsung IP Display v1.3 driver #samsung

 
Edited

Thanks for the correct link.
Yes MAC is being sent to attribute 1 and SendItIn is being initialised with a 1.
I've turned on logging and only thing of note is that I see an entry: Provided MACAddress is not valid.
However this is the same MAC address that I have successfully used on the 1.3 module so not sure what gives there.

I'm using the 1.2 display module as I've used it before & I simply needed to test Netflix & Amazon and hadn't twigged the MediaServiceProvider.

Re: Samsung QE series & Samsung IP Display v1.3 driver #samsung

 

I¡¯m suggesting 1.13, not 1.3. I¡¯m assuming 1.13 is way newer than 1.3 and the latest available.

?

The MediaServiceProvider section has replaced Media_Apps and should allow direct app access, however, I can¡¯t get it to tell me there¡¯s any other app available other than ¡°LiveTV¡±, and indeed looking at the driver dat file again is see:

?

??????? ???{

?

...so it¡¯s no surprise I suppose that Netflix etc won¡¯t report. I wonder if there¡¯s another driver at drivers.crestron.io that supports all the features we need?

?

As for the answer ID, I used this: - take note about not using a capital U for User in the driver path (\\user\\ rather tan \\User\\).

Re: Samsung QE series & Samsung IP Display v1.3 driver #samsung

 

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the heads-up re warming/cooling. Unfortunately I'm not even able to get past first base as the driver won't connect.
I'm using the Crestron Certified Drivers Display Ethernet v1.2 module as the clients wants instant access to Netflix & Amazon Prime.
This does not have the numeric keys. The Crestron Certified Drivers TV Tuner Ethernet v1.3 module on the other-hand does although I've not tried this module.

It's frustrating that if we want all the functions?(ie source, apps & keypad/channel) these are not available on one module.

Regarding unable to connect, I'm pretty sure I have this set up right. The driver loads and DriverLoaded output goes high but it simply will not connect.
Unfortunately Crestron have removed answer ID?100085 from their site so the original demo program is no longer available so I'm having to do this from memory.

I've extracted the driver package and placed it in \User\drivers\FlatPanelDisplay_Samsung_UN55LS03N-SmartTV_IP.dll so that's all good.
I chucked the?FlatPanelDisplay_Samsung_UN55LS03N-SmartTV_IP.dat file in there as well.

I use the DriverLoaded?output on the module to drive the connect input but no joy.

Cheers

I didn't realize the OP is over an year old. Was responding to it.?


Re: Anyone successfully controlling Samsung Hospitality HG65NJ678UF Display with USB Ex-Link?

 

Maybe the answer is in your question- you are trying USB Ex-Link but using MDC protocol commands. Use the EX-Link protocol instead.?

Any reason why you're not using the latest Crestron Certified Drivers Display Ethernet v1.13 ?

Also, are you correctly sending the MAC Address in on?UserAttribute1 ?


Re: Samsung QE series & Samsung IP Display v1.3 driver #samsung

 

Definitely try the Crestron Certified option. IMHO the 1.3 driver from the application market is obsolete and the issue that is has whereby every processor reboot you have to re-authorise (therefore you really need to TV on already at the moment of reboot) makes it not fit for purpose.

I've yet to use the Crestron Certified driver in the wild, but from the early tests I've done with it, it seems to address all the issues we had with 1.3. This includes the fact that the 1.3 has no number buttons nor TV channel controls!

TOP TIP: Set the warmup and cooldown analogs to 1s each. 0s (or unset) seems to force the driver defaults, which I think are something like 20s and 65s, which means a ridiculous pause after firing a PowerON and also it won't turn on for 85s after it has turned off making you think it's broken. The documentation for the Crestron Certified module somewhere states that the values for warmup and cooldown in the driver file (.dat?) are the MINIMUM times, but I was definitely able to override these both with 1s, fortunately.


Re: Samsung QE series & Samsung IP Display v1.3 driver #samsung

 

I tried the Crestron Certified driver from?drivers.creston.io?to no avail. The driver loads but never connects.
IP address is correct and I set the UniqueID on the Crestron Certified Drivers Display Ethernet v1.2 module to Samsung (same as the ID inside the 1.3 module)

It looks remarkedly like the driver for the?Samsung IP Display v1.3.umc I got off the application market.
If fact looking in the?CrestronCertifiedDriversSamsungIP v1.1.usp from within the 1.3 module, I see the driver is called?"FlatPanelDisplay_Samsung_UN55LS03N_IP.dll"
The driver I obtained from drivers.creston.io is called?FlatPanelDisplay_Samsung_UN55LS03N-SmartTV_IP.dll

Does anyone know if a UserName$ & Password$ needs to be set for Samsung displays and if so what is it?
