I’ve been traveling for work recently and kicking myself for not bringing an RMC3 along. It’s not that I enjoy Crestron programming every waking minute of the day. A lot of times, I try to test programming out before I ship it off to someone as a “fix.” As control system programmers, we’re in a different boat from others where we can’t run our programs on our laptops to test. Specifically, if we’re writing SIMPL code, we have to have physical hardware accessible to us. It would be great to have a SIMPL Simulator for testing logic, but that’s not something Crestron provides and no way am I going to try reverse-engineering their LPZ file format (that’s specifically against the dealer agreement).
