MLX-3 - some questions


 

I've been updating my home system over the past few weekends when I get a bit of spare time.

This includes some updates to my aging MLX-3. The buttons are now suffering from a bit of double triggering - easy fix to include a debounce symbol on the buttons in simpl. Occasionally the scroll wheel will over-shoot but I can live with that.


I still recon this is the best remote Crestron ever made and really wish they had moved it forward with the times.


I'm running into a couple of minor irritations:

* Project upload: Years ago I used to upload the project to the CEN-RFGW-EX gateway and the MLX would update it's project files from there. I can upload the project OK and assign the project to ID 0F. Has my old head gone a bit dull on this and I've missed out a key step as?this no longer seems to be working?

* Custom icons: I know this has been discussed before on the group. I have 3 music sources at home; MMS-2, Sonos & NSP-1. I'd really like to have a custom icon for the Sonos and have created a small 24x24 Sonos icon called 'Sonos-Built-in.bmp' which is located in \VTPro Built In Images\Common\24x24\SOURCES. However VTPro knows this is not a real built-in image so flags an error. Anyone know a hack or work around?


There was a third question as well, but I've forgotten what it was.


Cheers

Slip,



You can also load via the USB Port¡­and it is far faster as well

Thanks, I am loading via USB at the moment.
I don't recall the gateway uploads being particularly slow in the past. I used to do this on boats where we would have a load of MLX's.
Just need a refresher on what step I am missing.


 

Unfortunately, I find them to be rather pokey these days. Could be modifications to recent FW initiatives?

"best remote Crestron has ever made", is this sarcasm?


 

A bit tounge-in-cheek Dustin,
I like the weight and as a family everyone likes the way it works
We only have one in the TV room and for our purposes it does provide everything we need.

I'd much rather have an RTi though.


 

To each his or her own (opinion) or the corollary¡­no accounting for taste.



That said, despite the rather peculiar programming methodology, it is a good remote and it works well.
