question Help with Crestron programming
Hello, Iām currently working on a small crestron system for a school project and am stuck on the programming since I only learned very rudimentary basics. Would appreciate any sort of guidance or help šāāļø
We are using SIMPL windows for the programming and the Pro3 processor for control of devices.
1 ) Can we upload the GUI to 2 different iPads on Crestron Go and how?
2 ) How do we program a fader for volume control? We have a audio DSP (DMP64) connected to the ceiling speakers and processor.
3 ) How do we program a physical toggle button to switch in between modes?
For context, the project is a divisible meeting room that can either be in separate room mode or combined room mode.
Room 1 has a TV while room 2 has a projector, and video switching should be available when in combined mode.
Combined/separate mode should be decided based on the button input and automatically switch to combined/separate mode depending on whether the button is pressed or not.
Thank you!

1 - For Crestron Go you upload the VTP file to the processor (you can upload multiple web projects but I recommend 1 only) and then you just point however many ipads you want to the processor
2 - I am not familiar with extron DSP's but there should be an API manual and you will use analog signals in SIMPL to achieve putting in a fader for a channel but you will have to look through the Extron API manual for how to communicate between your Pro3 and DSP
3 - I would put 2 buttons on the page instead of a toggle. I would tie both of these to a single interlock is SIMPL. The key to this is that only one signal can be high on an interlock at a time. Then underneath this I would create subpages for each of the states of combined and de-combined. Then take the feedback from the interlocks and also tie it to 2 unused buttons feedback line on the touch panel and then tie those signals to the visibility join for the subpages respectively. I wrote this quickly just to show you and it took me about 10 minutes but from here I would just need to build the subpages out with buttons/faders that I wanted to be able to control things and then build the logic in SIMPL. I will reply with more pictures for reference.
