Step by Step Virtual key PAD upload & programming . NDT-VKP

ciistech

Hi , Can any one help me with a step by step guide for uploading Virtual keypad. Basically i have downloaded the file from AMX.com & followed the instructions in the manual but it does not load properly only .src file uploads. The .jar gives error. I must be doing some thing wrong . I would appreciate if some one can write a quick step by step guide. Here is a snaps shot of the errors. I have done the following.
1: Downloaded NDT-VKP
2: Extracted & opened in workspace.
3: Set as active system.
4: opened AXS virtual keypad file in NS & Build as active system
5: Quick upload file which give me there files to upload , the files are Virtualkepad_2_0_1\Virtualkeypad.src , Virtualkepad_2_0_1\Virtualkeypad_dr1_0_0. jar & Virtualkepad_2_0_1\Virtualkeypad.tkn.

Next it gives me the following errors.

ciistech,
My first suggestion would be check the AMX University schedule and sign up for a class near you. The forum is a great tool, but it cannot be the only tool to learn about the AMX product line and the development tools.

Second, what are you transferring? The TKN is all that you need. If the JAR exists in your workspace, and then you compile the project, all of the data is contained within the compiled TKN.

Additionally, are you running duet firmware on your master? The firmware section of AMX.com will contain both duet and non-duet master firmware. Duet firmware is required if you are looking to use a duet module such as the virtual keypad.

Hi Chris , The Virtual keypad is accessible via web interface . Can you please tell me a simple code to open/close a bluray player. I can control the bluray player via IR through Netlink studio control device. I want to control it through virtual keypad but don't know how to write the code. Please help

Bluray is connected to IR port 9 on NI 3000 . DPS is 5001:9:1 & i can control it from Netlinx studio.
I would appreciate your help Thanks !

My suggestion would be to read the user guide that came with the workspace file you found on amx.com - all of the syntax requirements/options for the Virtual Keypad module are included in that document.

Additionally, the sample code that came with the module includes the core code structure needed to complete what you are asking for. You should easily be able to add your IR file to the workspace using studio, define your BluRay device in the existing Define_Device section, and add the proper syntax to the Define_Event section that is already included in the sample source.

As you have seen, there are a number of great programmers on the board, but most will expect you to do your part and make an effort to do it on your own first. If they jump right in and do it for you, there is little to be learned or gained from that.

Hi Chris , I will do it , I will try to write the code myself . Thanks for directing me in the correct direction. I will leave feedback.
