This is the case most of the time because there’s no one single module that does everything. Again, I called tech support and I told them what I needed to accomplish and they agreed that some modifications to their modules were necessary. After reading over my scope of work with my client and reviewing the modules, I determined that the existing modules would not fit the framework of the scope of work.

Then I downloaded the manual for the device and reviewed the command strings.

They sent me one and I downloaded a couple other modules from their website, as well.

The manufacturing company tech support told me they have several modules and the source code for those modules in order for one to make any modifications that the client might need. So I called the manufacturing company tech support and they said, “Yes we have modules”. Like so many other programmers, one of the first things I did was to see if there were any modules for this project. In fact, there is no exception to this personal view and even if I do not get paid in full, I will still give a copy of the source code.Ī few months ago I was hired for part of a job (not the complete project) to develop some code. Because the client always gets a copy of every single line of custom code that I write. But any of those great A/V programmers can fix my programming mistakes. I have made lots of programming mistakes. I don’t believe I am the best A/V programmer in the Audio/Video industry. There are many great programmers in this industry and I would be honored to be included in the list of them.

I hope the information in this article will be beneficial to everyone. I have programmed many jobs from small rooms to large corporate buildings and I have been to hundreds of training classes. I got into the A/V industry right after college. I have been programming in the Audio/Video industry for over 10 years. Because source code does not equal source code.

It might not make a difference whether you believe you should have ownership or licenses to the source code. Those files, that you have saved on your server and that are so critical to your company in supporting your customers, could be useless.
#CRESTRON SIMPL SHARP SOFTWARE#
There have been many articles regarding source code and we all thought this story was now over but it’s brought back to life thanks to some creative independent programming companies and individuals. You pay a software company, an individual or an employee of yours to write custom code and your company backs up all of those custom files. All of your opinions will be kept confidential. There's so much potential for greatness, but it seems like they are hamstringing us out of the gate.I would like to thank everyone in the Audio/Video industry such as manufacturing companies, A/V dealers, and independent programming companies that have provided me feedback regarding their experiences with source code. Jesus.I both love and hate where crestron is going right now. They don't even have a formal recommendation for training.

We don't even have that ability anymore because the only thing Crestron has provided thus far is a broken DMPS3-300-C implementation.

In addition to that, the lack of source and addition of version controls for vendor modules is going to be a PiTA for those of us that like to tweak the vendor modules to add functionality.Īll of the S# Pro programs on labs are asininely basic, and don't include any of the more poorly documented things like Smart Graphics modules, or advanced threading.Īll of my SIMPL knowledge was learned autodidactically though looking at modules provided by crestron. I'm still learning C# (slowly.I'm a busy man), and I can already forsee the lack of standardized module framework working against us in the long term if it isn't addressed.
