Feedback of devices status

Postby Djools » Thu May 30, 2013 4:03 pm

Hello to all of the Coolux Team,

As a new user of your WD product, there's few basic commands I try to figure out the way to create it.
My main problem for the moment is the way to have a feedback of a device (projector, mediaplayer, etc.). For example, I would like to see if it is connected/not connected, online/offline, shutter on/shutter off, etc.
- Theses values may come as input nodes ?
- Theses values are about to be seen in textbox ? Labels ?
- May I customize the informations shown as answers by these values (by rename it for example) ?
- How can I establish the connection between my WD Interface and the device connected and, when I start the WD, automatically the feedback comes to tell me "Each device connected, or not", like in your "Connection Manager" tool, with a refresh of this information.

Newbie in programmation, thanks for your support (^_^) Best regards,

Djools

OK, exploring the tools I begin to understand.
What I need is a label, wich can receive values and react the way I want. The question is, what is the variable source ? For example I put the TCP IP of the device connected and I just want this to tell me "Connected/not connected", what am I supposed to put in "Variable Source" and "Control" ?

Thanks to all

If your Device gives Feedback to a Node in that case you have to use the WD Pro for creating the project.
Playback works with WD Std.

Hello Daniel,

Thank you for your answer. Just a little precision, you are talking about a difference between some feedback datas (by nodes) and playback (datas ???) of a device ? In that case, can you precise the way I can interpret that playback ?
Or you are talking about the Playback Pro Plus software system ? :D
Thank you,

With Playback I mean you can program your Widget Designer Project with Nodes in WD Pro and than load the Widget Designer Projekt into WD Std and use it.
The limit is that you can not modify it and some features only work in WD pro.
