The output is fed to a digital input on the Crestron control unit so we could set up an AND gate with the trigger on one input and the state high or low sense on the digital input. Do you have a trigger pulse anywhere that is supposed to tell the system "I am turning this switch on or off"? We have used the current sense device which outputs either a high or low depending on the state of the connected device which for us was a DVD player. > Just for clarification, the input signal is either on or off, correct? It is like a switch that is in one position or the other and you are trying to send a discrete turn-on, turn-off signal to the controlled device based on that switch's position. One would give a turn on if the digital input was low and the power "button" was pressed (one input was fed from a NOT gate), and another AND gate sent a power off if the digital input was high and the power button was selected. Two AND gates provided the signal selection. It's actually beginning to seem like the old method of various subpages made visible depending on which room is selected is theīetter bet.Just for clarification, the input signal is either on or off, correct?

It seems like SW makes everything pretty difficult. Otherwise, I need a Set/Reset Latch for each individualīutton in the list times the number of rooms. I need something like Set/Reset Latch but it needs the ability for multiple outputs. It's beginning to sound like a) it's not so simple and b) it's not worth it?Īlso, since you opened up Pandora's box I realize I can't find a symbol that easily lets me set the buttons high. I was originally planning on just putting the labels into VT-Pro but someone suggested it's easier/better Since not every room has all the media options, rather than having discrete subpagesįor each room (as I used to do) I was experimenting with the idea of having a long list (DVR, DVD, Music Server, Sirius Radio etc) in a Dynamic Button List. My thinking was to create a drop-down list of Rooms and a drop-down list of Media possibilities within the house. I am trying to create a relatively general purpose iPad panel.
Perhaps I just talked myself out of the whole concept?įrom: Monday, Janu12:56 AM To: Subject: Re: Iniitialize Dynamic Text in Simpl Windows It's actually beginning to seem like the old method of various subpages made visible depending on which room is selected is the better bet.
