If you want there to be a "default" source when it powers up, what I'd suggest is add the Offline extender to the device in SIMPL, run that "device offline" signal through a not, then run offline.not through a LWP, run the offline.not.lwp through a 5 second delay, then put that offline.not.lwp.delay into a presser symbol that then triggers the same signal as the gui button for the source you want to be default.

Conversely, you could use an ARAM symbol to make it remember what the analog feeding the source analog was last time the device went offline, and make it reassert that value to the analog when it comes back online.

In order for it to respond after a power outage or reboot, I have to physically press the "route" button on the front panel.? Then it will respond to commands remotely.
|
thanks again for the suggestion @Gas Bandit.? Adding the analog inits helped out tremendously.
|
Alrighty then.? I have finally got the switch working a needed.? After figuring out the IPID issue, the processor now sees the switch as being online and all switching is working as needed.
?
Thanks again for all the help.
|
okay, I misunderstood how to set up the IPID.? I have sent the command ADDS IPID MASTER IPAddress.? then I'll check to see if the processor still sees the switch as being offline.
?
|
When I try to add the IPID to the IP Table, it wants to make the switch the Master and doesn't allow me to set it as a slave.? This is causing the processor to see the switch as being offline.

Dropping a "1" on save settings will have no appreciable effect.? ?What I'd do is put a real signal there, and either tie it to a button, or use Toolbox Debugger to pulse that signal high once you have the settings set how you want them.

What do you have to configure via the front panel to make it work?
I've been away from this project for a while, spending time on the actual construction project.? It does work almost perfectly but been having one little glitch.? Upon power up, I have to configure it via front panel buttons then it responds correctly until there's a power outage or a reboot.? If I drop a "1" on "save settings", will that solve the issue?? The system will have a UPS along with a automatic standby generator.? That just leaves the occasional reboot to mess things up.
How do I post a picture here?? I don't see that option.? I'd post a picture of the entertainment center I built for him that will have everything in it to supply the two rooms connected to it.

Yes, you'd take the VideoOut1_fb and put that to an Analog Equate to convert it back to a series of digitals you'd then put on the feedback joins of the buttons in question.
|
so then the PanelButton.1? through 4 would the same signal as on the TP module, right?? And I am already using the FB from the TP button presses.? Are you saying I would need to create a another analog init to push out different FB signals?
|
Just a heads up, "Save Settings" is a rising-edge-pulse activated control.? Putting a 1 there will make it save settings at program start, and then never again.
You can put a 1 in "Video Enter" but you need an analog signal in VideoOut1.? If you're controlling from a touchpanel, you'll need to use an Analog Initialize symbol to convert the digital button presses to setting 1d thru 8d of the Analog Signal going into VideoOut1.
?
Like this:
?
If you want it to autoswitch, I'd run the "Video_Detected_x_fb" feedback joins through logic wave pulses and then into another analog init that pushes to the same analog signal.
|
I am having sort of a similar situation.? I have and HD-MD8x2 that I am trying to get to auto switch.? I have enter 1 onto the "VideoEnter" field, as well as onto "Save_Seetings" and "VideoOut1".? When I start my program it defaults to Input2 to Output1, since the touch panel is set to select Computer as its initial source.? It displays Input2 just fine, but when I select other inputs from the touch panel the switch stays at Input2.
|
Un Effing believable.? I knew I was doing something stupid.? The switchers address is 192.168.1.160.? The pro3's address is 192.168.1.245.
All better now.? Thanks for setting me straight.

Yeah, what CrestronFreak said... your table doesn't look correct, it confirms your code and IP table don't match.? Your program is creating a "slot" at IP ID 10 for the 8x2, and your 8x2 is configured to try to connect as IP ID 3.? ?Which is usually where touchpanels would end up anyway.? He recommends changing your code to move the 8x2 to IPID 3, but if it were me, I'd do the opposite, I'd "REMM 03 192.168.1.160" and then "ADDM 10 (your PRO3's address here"
|
Almost there!
Go back to Simpl, "Project", "Configure System".
Move the HD-MD 8x2 (just drag and drop it) to the IP-ID that the HD-MD 8x2 is configured for: 3
Recompile and upload.
Double check the IP address of the PRO 3, should be 192.168.1.160. If not, adjust the IP table entry in the HD-MD 8x2, it should point to the PRO 3.

So in text console, I typed in IPT.? There's only one entry and it looks correct.
CIP_ID 3,? Type Gway,? Status Off line,? Device ID 4 (this I'm not sure of.? What generates that?)? Port 71794, IP address/site name
192.168.001.160.? This is after doing a restore and starting over.? Still off line.? Currently on FW 4.102.149800030

Use toolbox to open a text terminal to the 8x2
?
type IPT and hit enter
?
that's your ip table
?
you can remove entries by typing "REMM (IPID#) (Address)" and add entries by typing "ADDM (IPID#) (Address)"
?
You need an entry in there to point the ipid of whatever the 8x2's ipid in your processor code is, at the ip address for your processor.

I'm looking at the switcher in device discovery.? In modify IP table I see a button "clear the device" is that the flush handle?? I'm not seeing where to add the control processor.
