Pronto Style Macros

Actually, the GoTo is more of a call/return. It will do what you want here.

This is a general design question. I have multiple devices that I need to control. Say a VCR,TV, DVD and preamp.

When I want to watch TV for example, I would need to send a command to the VCR, TV and preamp to power up and set inputs.

Preamp ON
TV ON
VCR ON
Premap VCR_input
TV VCR_input

Now the question is, what is the best way to do this with girder?

A couple ways come to mind:

1) I could use a multi-command, with 5 commands in it to send the codes.

2) I could use a given event-code in each of the 5 commands above.

What I would like to have is a group for each of the actual devices, and a group of "macros". Ideally a single event code would trigger the macro, which would then trigger the individual codes in the device groups. This way, swapping a device (say one VCR for another) would have no effect on the macros, as long as naming remained consistent.

Is this possible? All I really need to know is if there is a way to trigger a girder event from within another one. I saw the goto, but that is not what is needed here. It is probably right under my nose.

How are others doing this?

Any help is of course appreciated.

Ahh, in that case the path is clear.

Thank you.
