Locking button active state on iPad
|
Keith
Hi guys. First time post here, though i've been around for a while and found the forum invaluable!
I'm moving my system at home (8 sources, 8 zones, 5 touchpanels - Apple or Pronto panels) from buffers to crosspoints...i've sorted the crosspoints and wow are they easier to build with that the buffered system my installer handed over to me. Next job is to get the panels working right, and now i've the luxury of memorised links between panel-zone-source I want to be able to lock the state of a button that's been pressed. so for example, someone presses the Kitchen button on the iPad and it stays highlighted, releasing the rest of the zone buttons - to show that the zone is selected. And now i'm stuck - i'm sure it can't be hard to do, but I cannot figure it out. I've tried using combinations of feedback signals, interlocks and all kinds of stuff but it's proving elusive. Help!!

Maybe an interlock and a set reset latch will do the trick.

Thanks Nick, I guess I was wondering if I needed to add a load of interlocks and latches when crosspoints make the rest simple...if so that's fine, I didn't want to smother the tidiness.

If you are using crosspoints to connect a panel to a zone you must be
initializing an analog value for the zone you want the panel to connect to when you press that "Kitchen" button. Look at using the EQUate symbol with that analog that represents the zone to provide your button feedbacks. If init sets the zone analog to 6 when you press Kitchen, then use equ to provide Kitchen-FB when it is fed a 6. Hope this was not to vague. Kol _____ From: Crestron@...

I wish they had spent more time in explaining how crosspoint works rather than telling us just to follow suit (crestron staff: if you don't do exactly as I am doing then it won't work for you and we don't have time to troubleshoot where you went wrong). Since I work in commercial environment, I don't get an opportunity to use crosspoints at all. I wish I was working in res, it would have forced me to learn this long time ago.

Don't forget to manage your connections. I like to send my analog value through an analog buffer, so if you reselect the kitchen it doesn't repulse the value. I also wrote a couple connection managers. One I use for equipment that, on an analog change, disconnects all, gets the current analog, then pulses connect. That way you don't have two things connected at once. I have another one that's a little more complicated for rooms to do volume and whatnot. Sometimes you may want to control two rooms at once on a global page so you can select a source in multiple rooms with one press. That module needs to allow for multiple connections, with an option to disconnect all and reselect the default room (like when you leave the global page). I'm sure everyone has a different way of doing it, but that works for me. So in essence, if you select the kitchen, one crosspoint connects to the touchpanel, select cable, another crosspoint connects to the touchpanel.

You'll start to see how you want to manage them after you start playing with them. --- In Crestron@..., "devesh.gupta83" <devesh.gupta83@...> wrote:
