Dms Difficulties

April 2006 in AMX Technical Discussion

hi guys, im having a problem..had to reprogram a house(NXI) that kept falling offline(too many acrobatics in code)

there is a sony 300 disc changer and it has to be controlled via DMS...
the specific application is pressing a "hundreds" button to increment/cycle the hundreds digit from 0 to 3, and so on for tens and ones.. after each increment it will(should but its not) update the dms display with the new digits.

im pulling my hair out cause i cant seem to make it work..

DEFINE_VARIABLE

char DMS8SelectedDisc[] = {0,0,0}  //hundred,tens,ones
sinteger nDMS8hundreds = 0
sinteger nDMS8tens = 0
sinteger nDMS8ones = 0

	WAIT 3
	SEND_COMMAND vdvDMS8, 'PAGE-(CURRENT)'

    }
}

//do not put any code after this line

any suggestions, pointers? please
thanx in advance

Do you have DMS8_CDJUKE_DISC_NUM_SELECT_DISPLAY defined within the range of the array of VT channel numbers that gets passed into the module? I was also going to add that you need to refresh the page but your already doing that.

solution

as it turns out i did not have my array declared properly...

char DMS8SelectedDisc[3][1] = {'0','0','0'} //hundred,tens,ones is how it should have been..

Stuck on my learning curve

This is a follow up on my dms difficulties post from the other day...
for my cd juke interface i have the text updating on the DMS...
by using the klugy dms interface the user can press hundreds, tens or ones to increment the display with "play#_ _ _" then when they press that button if selected disc was 123 , I need to send ir pulses as follows,

"Disc-Del"//puts CDJUKE into #entry mode
"1"//hundreds digit
"2"//tens digit
"3"//ones digit
"Enter"//plays the selected

while watching my diagnostics and notifications i see the strings i am send to the master for "DMS8SelectedDisc[3][1]" and the "digit" currently being evaluated.

but for some reason(probably inexperience/sloppy code) it never fires

"Disc-Del"//puts CDJUKE into #entry mode
"1"//hundreds digit
"2"//tens digit
"3"//ones digit
"Enter"//plays the selected

any advice would be most appreciated..
cheers

Problem solved..

I changed the type of array from char to integer...and fixed my single quotes..
end result, it works...
