Control a ******** system with AMX!

Jonathondw

Ok, So my Creston programmer and I are talking about trying to control each others processer. My question is has any one atempted this before? I figure the easist way is to wright our own command set for each processor, But we would like to try to use the strings sent out from the master to master protocol in each system. Dose any one think this can be done? Has anyone tried this?

If anything it is just neat to try.


Thanks,

Jon

Have you thought about via the TCP/IP?

impossible to use the Master to Master (or intersystem communication)
You could indeed use a TCP connection and just send strings using that
i reckon it will be easier to control AMX from ******** (easier string processing in Netlinx) than the other way around

Cres$tron string handling is different from AMX, but there seems to be a pretty good set of symbol functions and if you are dissatisfied with that, you can use SW+, which probably has all the string handling capabilities of Netlinx. If I were to choose to write the Netlinx side or the Cre$tron side, I'd opt for the Netlinx side, but that's probably a matter of experience and familiarity rather than Cre$stron being innately harder.

Well, sort of.. I have a customer with a large Cr****on system who swapped out their Barco projector for a Panasonic. Since no one could find the source files, and re-creating the program from scratch wasn't in the budget, we installed an NI700 to act as a Barco to Panasonic command translator.
