    Hi all, customer has a 16 year old BS5000CTC Colour touchscreen - stopped talking to CBus,
    Have confirmed connectivity, backed up project to PICED, and separately backed up the database

    Been advised I need to go to a 5500SHAC and touchscreen - having never used one of these before, am I going to be able to transfer the project into the new gear without major hiccups?

    any advice gratefully accepted.

    Short answer no way to move all your PICED stuff to the SHAC it works on a different language and engine. You would have to recode it all.

    SHAC has been the bane of my life for months, one client got a fault unit and this was replaced by a DOA unit :(

    the screen is CRAZY expensive and you would be better off using an android tablet or ipad mini or surface Go that connects to the SHAC which would be more versatile

    Contact @Trevor from Arbor he does repairs on the colour screens.
