LinnSimplModule

• LinnDsModule.ct_system_x: a complete Crestron Studio project demonstrating the Linn Crestron module.

This project includes a CP3 processor, 6 rooms and a sample iPad control application (which can toggle control between the 6 rooms). The rooms will need to have static IP addresses allocated to them and entered in the system setup.

LinnSimplPlusModule

• LinnSimplPlusModule.usp/ush: the Simpl+ program used for the Linn DS module. This file contains various definitions that can be changed:

#DEFINE_CONSTANT ciROOMCOUNT 6 // number of rooms for module (including main room)
#DEFINE_CONSTANT ciMAINROOMINITIAL 1 // main room number (will boot to this initially)
#DEFINE_CONSTANT ciMAXSOURCES 50 // can be decreased as required
#DEFINE_CONSTANT ciMAXCHANNELS 100 // radio stations/presets referred to as channels
#DEFINE_CONSTANT ciMAXTRACKS 1000 // playlist
#DEFINE_CONSTANT ciSEEKSECONDS 20 // number of seconds to jump for each seek button press
#DEFINE_CONSTANT ciUSEVISIBLESOURCESONLY ciTRUE // set to true to use only user configured visible sources; set to false to always use all sources

• ExternalUrlSelector.usp/ush: small helper program for jumping to various Kazoo urls.
• LinnSimplSharpModule.clz: compiled Simpl# code required by the Simpl+ program.

LinnSimplSharpModule

• Lpec.cs: handles the bulk of the Lpec processing required for the Linn module.
