Master Communications
Discover the various methods of getting connected to your master controller. Learn how to find your master on a network as well as connecting locally via a USB cable.
Module Implementation Part 2
This video is the second part of implementing a module. This covers all the code that's necessary in order for it to work properly.
Module Interface Document
Take a closer look at the module interface document that gets downloaded with each module from the AMX website. This document contains everything you need to know to include this module in your code.
Modules Exercise
This exercise focuses on modules. You are given a set of instructions and you're challenged to work on your own in order to complete this exercise.
Modules Exercise Solution
This video has the instructor review the previous exercise in great detail.
Modules Implementation Part 1
This tutorial will begin the process of implementing a module into your code. Learn where to go to find AMX created modules online, and follow along as you begin implementing one of these reusable blocks of code.
Modules Overview
Introduces the concept of modules. Learn what they are, and how they work conceptually.
NetLinx Studio Overview
This video will provide you with a high level overview of the NetLinx Studio application. Learn about the various windows, toolbars, and various tabs found in the software.
Online Tree
Once connected to a master, learn about the online tree and how to verify all the external devices are connecting to the master.
Parts of a Control System
Learn about the different parts of a control system including the master, external data, controlled devices, control interfaces, and control busses.
Proper Code Design
Highlighting the importance of creating flow charts to help with proper code design before ever writing any actual code.
Relays & Channels Exercise
This is your very first exercise to practice what you've learned so far. This exercise will have you building your own button events to control various relays and channels.
Relays & Channels Exercise Solution
This video has the instructor review the previous exercise in great detail.
Scope of Work
A narrative document that details expected system functionality is needed prior to writing any code. This video will go into detail as to what should be included in a scope of work document.
Select/Active Conditional Implementation
Practice implementing what you learned about conditionals in this easy to follow tutorial. This video focuses on using the select/active conditional.
String Formatting & Embedded Properties
This comprehensive lesson dives into how strings are properly formatted in your code so they can control a device. You will look at a 3rd party protocol document to dissect an RS232 string so it can be used in your code.
String Implementation Part 1
Part one of two, will begin teaching you how to write the code necessary to work with strings. In this lesson, you will build a 4 x 4 matrix switcher and you will use the BCS commands to execute a switch.
String Implementation Part 2
Part two of two, will continue working with the switcher from the previous lesson. This video will focus on receiving a string back from the switcher and parsing the data.
String Parsing Keywords
The focus of this video is on the concept of parsing incoming strings from a device. Learn about all the different string parsing keywords available to help you find the string you are searching for.
Strings Exercise
This exercise focuses on string parsing and formatting. You are given a set of instructions and you're challenged to work on your own in order to complete this exercise.
