  • 1.  Custom panel to control 2 MC1's

    Posted 08-03-2024 23:16

    I am tasked with creating a custom Dashbaord panel with buttons on it that, when clicked, will cause two different MC1's to respond. For example, when a single  custom panel button is clicked, both MC1's will select a certain source button and execute a Take. Is this possible? I was hoping Rosstalk commands could handle this but it doesn't look like that is possible.

    Hey Dean,

    This isn't the same application, but I have a DashBoard panel that allows me to preset a source on my Carbonite Black, and send that source to another ME, MiniME, or aux bus---so I'd bet what you want is possible.

    I'm not sure whether you mean a single button that always sends the same source, or if you will have several buttons each of which sends a unique source.

    Are you accustomed to working in DashBoard?

    Thanks,

    James

    Hey Dean. 

    Ross talk messages do one task at a time but you can put them in to one button.  So here is an example of one button doing 2 crosspoint changes to 2 switchers (Carbonite 1 and Graphite 2) putting source 1 in the carbonite and source 2 in the graphite then hitting the cut button on the both switchers. 

    The code runs as quickly as it can process so the result should be instant. 

    I've shown it here in visual logic and in the source code.

     <button buttontype="push" height="3" left="354" top="295" width="1">
       <task tasktype="ogscript">

    rosstalk.sendMessage(params.getValue('Carbonite1_IPAddress', 0), 7788, "XPT " + "ME:1:PV" + ":" + "IN:1");
    rosstalk.sendMessage(params.getValue('Graphite2_IPAddress', 0), 7788, "XPT " + "ME:1:PV" + ":" + "IN:2");
    rosstalk.sendMessage(params.getValue('Carbonite1_IPAddress', 0), 7788, "MECUT ME:" + 1);
    rosstalk.sendMessage(params.getValue('Graphite2_IPAddress', 0), 7788, "MECUT ME:" + 1);

    </task>
    </button>

    Hope that helps. 

    Jack

    Hi Dean, 

    There is also the possibility that of controlling functions on the MC-1 using the Automation Presmaster Protocol, this can also be built into a custom Dashboard panel. The benefit being the inbuilt Auto On/Off button will include or except MC-1 channels from the commands sent making it simpler to implement for operations and development. Attached is a snippet of the protocol from the manual.

    Best regards, 

    Richard
