Alexander Schölzhorn und Daniel Siegl unterstützten Schüler der Wiener HTL Spengergasse mit Know-how und Bauteilen in einem Praxisprojekt bei der Realisierung eines ferngesteuerten Autos. Sie verwendeten dabei die aktuelle Amuse-Version und mussten Infrarot-Abstandssensoren einbauen, um das Fahrzeug vor dem Zusammenprall mit Hindernissen zu schützen. Nach einigen Schwierigkeiten mit der Hardware zeigte die Vorführung im LieberLieber-Büro, dass die Lösung der Aufgaben letztlich gelungen ist. Der Applaus des LieberLieber-Teams spornt das HTL-Trio Felix Dunda, Manuel Spieler (nicht im Video zu sehen) und Andreas Scharl sicher zu weiteren Höchstleistungen an…
If you are looking for inter state-machines communication using AMUSE, following example should help.
It’s a kind of “Hello World” for multiple machines, simplest possible example ![]()
Two state machines fires triggers to each other: Ping fires ping trigger and receives pong trigger and pong works another way around.
1. Download XMI
2. Create an empty Enterprise Architect project
3. Import XMI
4. Open ping and pong state machine diagrams
5. Add both to AMUSE simulation window
6. Start pong first then ping
7. if initial ping wasn’t caught, fire first trigger manually via trigger menu
8. watch the ping/pong counters
Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider (find it here: NDOHQ.com)
When asked for a driver for the pluged-in stick, I pointed Windows 7 to the 64bit Vista drivers. They were installed, but Windows still refused to use the device, as one of the driver/sys-files was not signed.
So I used the dseo.exe from the link above to fake the missing signature.
After restart, I plugged in the DVB-T stick, and it worked like a charme.
Isn’t this nice?

We are currently working with Wix (Windows Installer XML) and today we wanted to roll out a new software package with a prerequisite for Silverlight 3.0.
I must say it’s pretty hard to find something on the web, on how to check installation or version of Silverlight (for Wix or other deployment projects).
But Alex and I found the solution.
If Silverlight is installed you will find the following Registry Entry:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AgControl.AgControl\CurVer]
@=”AgControl.AgControl.x.x”
The “AgControl.AgControl.x.x” part contains the current installed version (Silverlight 3.0 = AgControl.AgControl.3.0)
As a little extra here the “Condition” check for Wix:
<Property Id="SILVERLIGHTVERSION"> <RegistrySearch Id="SilverLightSearch" Type="raw" Root="HKCR" Key="AgControl.AgControl\CurVer"/> </Property> <Condition Message="Please install Silverlight 3.0 or higher, available at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=149156&v=3.0.40818.0"> <![CDATA[Installed OR SILVERLIGHTVERSION >= "AgControl.AgControl.3.0"]]> </Condition>
I you get this error on Win7-64 with the new Visual Studio 2010 :
Problem Event Name: BEX
Application Name: vcsexpress.exe
Fault Module Name: 3xAVCore.dll
then its the fault of MySpeed from Enounce
(a very handy tool with which you can watch Flash in variable speeds)
A quick workaround is to rename the dll, which will stop Myspeed from working but also fixes the Error.
Although my OS is english (!) version, running the english (!) version of Office, I get an error when opening an Excel workbook via COM. The error message doesn’t help locating the real problem:
Because my locals are german, and the Office Multilanguage Pack is not installed, Excel tries to locate the german language pack and fails.
Solution: set your application’s CurrentCulture to en-US, and it work’s like a charm!
Today I run into a strange error: In an .NET Windows Form I’m referencing a ConnectionString from Application Settings.
At 12:00 it worked.
Changed a line of code; recompiled; started over at 12:01.
The app came up with an error: “Unrecognized configuration settings UserSettings“, the debugger pointed me to the settings file.
Tried a lot. Searched the internet. Found the only working solution:
Navigate to your user’s application data folder, and delete all the config-files belonging to your app.
