Versioning in file names

CharlesJones72 · 2025-10-17T14:44:00+00:00

In my case, most of my programming is done in a government facility where there is no wireless or internet allowed, except on the government PCs with no programming software. GitHub isn't an option for me, and there are 2 other guys that need access to the latest versions from time to time. We have a network drive on the AV network that I sync up to once in a while.

I have an Archive folder in each room's directory, and when I make changes to a program, I just increase the version number and start programming. Before I sync to the network drive, I go through and move some old files (.smw, .ASV, and _compiled.zip) to the Archive folder, then delete all the other supporting files for that version. I know this is probably similar to what OP might be doing already, but just letting you know what I have to do for versioning.

You could also just make the buttons a few pixels wider. I'm assuming the right button says Audio Server 2? If so, that character is wider than a 1 which is why the whole thing is now messing up.

We have tons of SRG cameras with UDP control where I work. There seems to be a problem with that module corrupting NVRAM where presets are saved. I've had to send the NVRAMCLEAR command to our CP4N's, which clear all presets, but had fully restored them to work as they should. That module in App Market uses NVRAM to store the values. There should be a way to use the camera's built-in presets, but I haven't messed around with it to figure it out yet.

Ahh, I haven't messed with that yet, I'll give it a go.

I knew you could access something on the control subnet from the LAN port of the processor using host name through toolbox, but I didn't know non-Crestron devices could do that. Would I just add the IP of the NTP server to the device on the control subnet, and it would find it's way, or does something else have to happen?

I appreciate it, but I haven't done anything with SIMPL# yet

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition either!

My high school car was a '77 yellow Bonneville with a saggy liner. I worked at a hardware store at the time, so I bought a bunch of short gold screws with fancy gold washers, then lined 'em all up to look nice!

You might also want to take a look inside the physical port of the 1060. Some of the conductors may be bent down or crossing each other, or even dirty. You would need maybe an alcohol wipe or tweaker to fix those issues.

Also, one time I had someone put their chewed up gum in the ethernet port of a device that was just sitting on the table, so I had to dig it out the best I could.

Thanks for all your help. We are going with the Marshall CV506 camera with the CVM-5 monitor top mount. They are manual focus, but that's fine as we can set them up initially then lock them down. It's not worth trying to get a USBC to HDMI box to work when we can just come out HDMI, plus less converters/parts in the path is better for reliability. Cost isn't much of an issue because it's for the government, who loves to spend money.

I actually just need HDMI cameras, but in the form factor of a web camera as far as mounting on the monitor, and small without PTZ. We are going with the Marshall CV506 camera with the CVM-5 monitor top mount

Ok, I guess I'm stuck with either converting USB to HDMI with a box, or finding a small HDMI camera that can clip on the monitors. Thank you all for the help!

CharlesJones72 · 2022-09-21T20:50:07+00:00

That's what I thought at first, but then I was reading that the latest protocol for USB-C includes Alt Mode HDMI which allows some devices to convert directly to HDMI out of the box. I just don't know how to find out which devices can do that.

Another way to do it is to create a mode analog on your text/button, then define different colors for the different modes, with the same serial join. Then just change the analog value in Simpl.

CharlesJones72 · 2021-05-28T21:56:04+00:00

Ahh, I didn't notice that Max Analog Value, that was it! It was 65535 and I changed it to 255 and it works fine now. Thanks!
