Hi
Any change for an app to to control the PWR-ICE amps presets? I'm switching between different presets on a daily basis and find it too laboursome to turn on the PC every time I need to change preset. Otherwise the PWR-ICE amp is doing a great job with my subwoofer:)

@ vidarje
It's indeed on our giant todo list. The nanoAVR and PWR-ICE use very similar commands actually so it's only a matter of adding support for it. If you have 2 speakers, we'd want to "link" their behavior, so that's a bit more work.

We're going to look into it again and see what's required.

Thank you, I'll stay tuned

Hi DevTeam

re. control for the PWR-ICE: do you see this as being via a wireless gadget attached to the ethernet, eg an IR, Bluetooth LE, or wifi?
Or would it be something attached to the DSP board?

It would be really nice to be able to change the configs and maybe gain, and it would be good to be able to link multiple units as you say

keep up the great work and thanks

I believe devteam is saying that it would be an update to the existing iOS/Android app (which currently can control a nanoAVR HD/DL). The PWR-ICE already has the network connection.

OK. It would be nice to have a remote control update feature besides the ethernet network to change config modes.
Can you see any way of doing this without using the PWR_ICE2_2x2.exe software?
EG it would be great to have a simple IR or app remote control

thanks,

Yes, I believe what was mentioned was updating this app to talk to PWR-ICE 125:

Dear All,

Yes, the app is indeed already working for PWR-ICE and nanoAVR. We just need to release it to the app store which takes some time for approval. We'll try to push. One of the new feature is the ability to "link" up one or multiple units so you can get stereo or 5.1setup controlled from one app.. Neat hey?

DevTeam

Thanks a lot It works nicely on both my android phone and ipad.

Whoa! Cool

Thanks DevTeam: the iOS app connected first time with my PWR-ICE 2x2!

Only thing that didn't work was the volume control. Maybe this needs configuring in the PWR_ICE.exe setup?

Master mute and the 4 presets worked fine.

FYI I am using a dual Ethernet "Powerline adapter" to connect the PWR-ICE with the netword- a neat solution

cheers,

@ terriley

we're just waiting for approval by apple team for the ios of the new app. It will support linking and all the features required.
Thanks for your patience.

DevTeam

hello,

Can you tell us if the IOS control app is approuved by Apple now ?
When i use the android app with a CPL plug wifi wth 2 ethernet port i see the 2 PWR
BUT :
- how i can link the 2 PWR ?
- how i can change the volume (link volume)
- how i can change the presets at the same time ? (link)
- It is possible to change the preset 1 to 2 (for example) to change the input ( aalog to AES for example) ?

Thanks

@ Nicolas

- There is already an app under IOS. You should be able to see it.
- For the Android app, here are some answers:

- how i can link the 2 PWR ?
ANS: Current app doesn't have it but we're about to release a new app in 1week which will do multiple unit control

- how i can change the volume (link volume)
ANS: Same as above. It will link the units,

- how i can change the presets at the same time ? (link)
ANS: Same as above.

- It is possible to change the preset 1 to 2 (for example) to change the input ( aalog to AES for example) ?
ANS: Unfortunately preset and source selection aren't related/stored. It's not possible.

do you think it is possible in the future to make possible ? (preset/selection)

an other question : how to know firmware version of the board ?

Thanks
