Hi-Fi 2 and Omnitouch 5.7e

[compuryan]

I have just got some of my Hi-Fi 2 zones set up and upon doing some testing I have run into a bit of an issue... I can't seem to control the zones from the Omnitouch panels. I have already added all the appropriate settings in PC Access so that the console can (and does) control the sytem, and of course the local VSCs also control it fine. What happens is when I open the first audio page (to select a zone), it loads the list of zones I have programmed, and it can clearly communicate with the Hi-Fi 2 controller because all of the zones come up in the list with their associated status (volume level, on/off, source, and the values are correct and update in real-time) but when I actually click on a zone to control it, the second page either doesn't load at all, or is blank (no buttons other than main menu panel).

I have added all the button images for the Hi-Fi 2 in AS and at first when I noticed this problem the first thing I did was re-import the Audio and Audio 2 pages from the 5.7e template design in AS but it did not resolve the problem.

Is there more of a specific process I can refer to in terms of adding the Hi-Fi 2 to AS? I have looked around everywhere but there doesn't seem to be any documentation on it.

I've attached a photo of what the audio2 page currently looks like in AS, which is about what it looks like on the touch screen as well lol. Should the buttons be visible in AS? When I open the sub-panel it is also blank inside.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Have you ran the HiFi setup that came with the HiFi. Run the setup software and see what happens from there.

Do you have an Object panel on the second page and is the first page correctly directied to the second page?

 

[compuryan]

Yes I ran the Hi-fi 2 setup software first-thing.

The current setup in AS is as follows:

Audio page contains object list "AudioZoneList"
List type: Audio Zone
Target name: Audio2.AudioPanel

Audio2 page contains object panel "AudioPanel", which I'm assuming is where the controls should appear on the touchpanel.

Currently, when a selection is made from the list on the Audio page, nothing happens. It's like I'm missing a "Jump to" action somewhere but I don't know where.


Thanks for your help

Alright I found the missing Jump and resolved that so I am now getting Audio2 page but it is still blank.

Look at the properties for the design (with the design highlighted in Project Explorer) and make sure that there are Hi-Fi2 images assigned to each Hi-Fi2 button (see highlighted area in attached image).

I don't have those particular image files (it appears my copy of AS didn't come with them, and a lot of other image files too). I did put in button image files from the original Hi Fi system as I do have those.

For test purposes, create a new design and assign it to your touchscreen and see if you get the audio pages.

 

[compuryan]

That does work, I can see the zones and control them and everthing. So I guess the question is how to get those working settings into my production project file? I've tried importing the two pages from the test file but that doesn't change anything. Also there will obviously be some settings in the test file that are not part of the pages so finding and moving them would also be an issue.

As a side note, the correct hi-fi2 image files do seem to exist as they were working perfectly when I used the test file on a touchscreen.
