Driver Setup Example

Select Layout Function

First, we need to enable layout switching for the user. To do this, assign the 'Select Layout' function to a button and set the layout parameter to match that button. Additionally, add feedback to indicate when a layout is active.

Select Input Function

After setting up layout selection, add buttons for input and tile selection. This allows the user to choose which input plays on each tile.

Select Tile Function

The user can now load a layout and select an input. Pressing a tile will assign the selected input to that tile.

For an example please check out the Apex Demo Provided.

Troubleshooting

• Confirm that the correct IP address is defined in the RTI config for the AC-FRESCO-44 control interface.

• Confirm the port is correct as per the AC-FRESCO-44 web interface.
