Can I get an older version of NR Designer?

[toml0006]

I am trying to make some NR interfaces. I need a mix of IR controls and girder controls. I bought the older version of NR Designer, but upgraded to check out NR 2.0 . Since there is no support for IR in NR 2.0 (correct me if I'm wrong) I want to stick with NR 1.xx. But since I upgraded NR Designer to checkout NR 2.0 features, I was unable to create slider button components. Catch 22 I am forced into the new version of NR because I cannot locate the older version of NR Designer. Can anyone help?!?!

Tom, the NR 2 beta supports IR, but the method it uses will be changing before 2.0 final. Why can't you create slider button components for NR 1.x?

[toml0006]

I am using the following:

NR 2.0.0.68
NRD 1.1.0.33
Girder 4.0.4.11

I updated NR and now see the option for a slider component. However the slider does not send an event to Girder, the slider updates when Girder updates the variable, but when I slide in NR nothing happens in Girder.

It is a Volume slider for my Denon 3805. When I manually adjust the volume on the receiver, the NR slider reflects the changes. I read a post about registering the variable with Girder as its action, I tried this. I assigned the action to register the variable with Girder, then I assign the slider component and the button looses the Girder action. Clear? Muddy?

Try putting the feedback action on another button e.g. one that's off screen. It just has to be on the same page as the slider, so you could put it on a template page.

Or you can use Lua to do this now, which can be cleaner.

Would you be willing to provide more insight on how to do this?

You should be able to do ...



NetRemote.RegisterVariableWatch('VARNAME',NetRemot e.GetPlugin('Girder'));

Hi Tom -
Did this work for you?

The added benefit of using Lua is this variable is watched -anywhere- in your CCF, not just one one page.

[toml0006]

I have not tried the lua method, but putting a variable watch on an invisible button did the trick.

Great. Thanks!
