Can I program in Netlinx or do I have to use Access for this box?

How do I define the device in my netlinx code?

I've never use AXLink, how do I configure the Device number, and which port is the AXLink bus?

I'm connecting to a NI3100.

The device addressing is done via dipswitches on the individual devices. You can use the DipSwitch program to figure out the settings. Device numbers are from 1 to 255 and should be unique. Once you know the address set by the dip switches, you address it like normal with port 1. ie dvDMX = 85:1:0 //DMX at address 85.

Also can I activate the motion sensor/auto brightness on the TP4's from code on my NI3100?

Not sure on these, but if you check in Software History (or the new AMX-PI) it should list all commands you can send to the touchpanels.

How do I get the color from the embedded colourpick interface on my TP4 to my NI3100?

I assume you are refering to getting the HEX code for the color so you can change colors via your program. The color pick tool lists the Hex code in the lower right portion of the window. Also, if you look at the button properties, the HEX code is after the color name in ( ).

Thanx

The i!-Equipment-Monitor app provides the ability to send and receive emails. You can use this code to send email from your program as needed. You can send emails when a device comes online, goes offline, when a button is held, or whatever other condition you want to track.

Hope this helps,

Ok, In order of questions asked :

1. Yes, you can program this in Netlinx, use the same commands as axcess, DL, DR or GP
2. Same way as any other device, D:P:S axlink devices go from 1 - 255
3. You configured the device number with the set of DIP switches on the front panel(?) The only ports are if you are using an actual device that has multiple ports, like an AXB-VOL3
4. Fine
5. Not that I could find in my breif look through AMX-PI
6. I'm actually trying this atm to drive a multicolour led using the colour picker to get me RGB values... but atm it has been refered to AMX Engineering as I couldn't work out how to use ?BCF to get the button fill colour of the 'Color Picker:Final Color' as it resides on a setup port
7. And as was said above the equiptment montior works quite well for email action !

Will let you know on what AMX gets back to me with regards to getting colour values out of the colour picker, back to the code.

// Edit : Should really check to see if people have replied first ^_^

Depending on what you use automatic e-mail we wrote a module that allows you to send SMS from Modero Panels to a GSM phone (it's delivered in just few seconds

if anyone wants, i made a project that has automatic value gathering from the color picker.
Works with a Soundlight PMX/DMX interface card.
