Biamp Room Combiner

playskool1 · March 2009

i have a divisible 4 room layout (square layout). im trying to program the biamp DSP to combine and uncombine rooms using these command protocols that were given to me:

SET 1 RMCMBWALL 11 1 0 <LF> //combine 1&2

SET 1 RMCMBWALL 11 4 0 <LF> //combine 2&4

SET 1 RMCMBWALL 11 3 0 <LF> //combine 3&4

SET 1 RMCMBWALL 11 2 0 <LF> //combine 1&3

SET 1 RMCMBWALL 11 1 1 <LF> //separate 1&2

SET 1 RMCMBWALL 11 4 1 <LF> // separate 2&4

SET 1 RMCMBWALL 11 3 1 <LF> // separate 3&4

SET 1 RMCMBWALL 11 2 1 <LF> // separate 1&3

my client wants any way possible the rooms combined except diagonally. example: L shape rooms combined and side-by-side rooms combined.

i am making this simple by just using them in button_events.

	}
	STRING:
	{
		WAIT 3 CLEAR_BUFFER cDSP_RESPONSE
	}
}

now i am only wondering if i typed in the command protocols correctly? the only buttons that worked are buttons 29 and 30.

I'm not too sure if the commands are correct but a way to limit problems like this is to reduce redundancy. Here's one way I tackled it.

DEFINE_VARIABLE

integer nChannelsused[] = {1,2,3,4}

channel_event[dvDSP,nChannelsused]
{
  on:
	{
	  send_string channel.device,"'SET 1 RMCMBWALL 11 ',itoa(channel.channel),' 1',$0A"
	}
	off:
	{
	  send_string channel.device,"'SET 1 RMCMBWALL 11 ',itoa(channel.channel),' 0',$0A"
	}
}

In this way you greatly reduce the strings to the device. To operate it you just turn on [dvDSP,1] to uncombine rooms 1&2 and turn off [dvDSP,1] to combine 1&2. Now you just have 4 channels to deal with.

found out that i have to use all 4 commands if i wanted 2 rooms combined. ex:

	PUSH:
	{
		SEND_STRING	dvDSP,"'SET 1 RMCMBWALL 11 1 0',$0A"		//COMBINE 1&2
		SEND_STRING	dvDSP,"'SET 1 RMCMBWALL 11 2 1',$0A"		//SEPARATE 1&3
		SEND_STRING	dvDSP,"'SET 1 RMCMBWALL 11 3 1',$0A"		//SEPARATE 3&4
		SEND_STRING	dvDSP,"'SET 1 RMCMBWALL 11 4 1',$0A"		//SEPARATE 2&4
	}

or 3 rooms combined. ex:

	PUSH:
	{
		SEND_STRING	dvDSP,"'SET 1 RMCMBWALL 11 1 0',$0A"		//COMBINE 1&2
		SEND_STRING	dvDSP,"'SET 1 RMCMBWALL 11 2 0',$0A"		//COMBINE 1&3
		SEND_STRING	dvDSP,"'SET 1 RMCMBWALL 11 3 1',$0A"		//SEPARATE 3&4
		SEND_STRING	dvDSP,"'SET 1 RMCMBWALL 11 4 1',$0A"		//SEPARATE 2&4
	}

		SEND_STRING	dvDSP,"'SET 1 RMCMBWALL 11 4 1',$0A"		//SEPARATE 2&4
	}

Just do this....

	PUSH:
	{
		OFF[dvDSP,1]
                ON[dvDSP,2] //SEPARATE 1&3
                ON[dvDSP,3] //SEPARATE 3&4
                ON[dvDSP,4] //SEPARATE 2&4
	}

or 3 rooms combined. ex:

	PUSH:
	{
                OFF[dvDSP,1] //COMBINE 1&2
                OFF[dvDSP,2] //COMBINE 1&3
                ON[dvDSP,3] //SEPARATE 3&4
                ON[dvDSP,4] //SEPARATE 2&4
	}

In this way all of the strings to dvDSP are in the channel event. This makes it easier to modify if you need to make a change in the string.
