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
