    Hi Bob,

    Is this supported in the BetaBrites that you sourced?

    Thanks

      Are the HS replacement variables supported in the events, or do I need to use scripting if I want to use text/values that comes from HS devices?

      Thanks

          Strange, not working here (all my testing is with one sign so far). I cut and pasted those commands exactly as they were, modified the directory to where I saved the bmp, no errors in the log when I run it, but all it does is display an "A".

          I'll check the other two signs as well to see how they behave.

          Thanks

              Also do the "extchar" characters work for you? They display as question marks for me.

                Here is what I did:

                I set label A to some text
                I set label B to some text
                I set label C to some text
                I then set to sequence to be CB

                No matter what I set the sequence to it seems to always just show A

                Did you have this issue?
                I know I am doing something wrong but no idea what right now
                Hi Bob, did you figure out what caused this? I'm having the same issue right now.

                Thanks

                  I have a BetaBrite which I purchased in 2005 at Sams. For whatever reason I can not get the BetaBrite to connect with the Plug-In. I am using the cable which came with the unit. I was using the sign with Steve's program but often had to change the baud rate to get the sign to reconnect, so I have had connection problems before. I did at one point actually set the time and date but it only connected for a brief moment and I have not gotten it to connect again. I have tried it in different com ports in my Quatech Serial Server where I can see if there is traffic on the serial port where my Z-Troller is on another port. I have also tried it on COM1 and I have tried lowering the baud rate as we sometimes did in Steve's HS2 plug-in, but it is not connecting at all. Any Suggestions?

                  Here is an example of one of my .net vb scripts. Maybe this is the problem, but none of the three scripts I have created in tenScripting3 show erroring out in the HS3 log.

                  Sub Main(ByVal Parms As String)
                  ''
                  '' BLLED_Files_8-June-14 Script
                  ''
                  ''
                  hs.PluginFunction("BLLED)", "", "SetMessage", New Object() {1, "A", "Today is Pentecost Sunday"})
                  End Sub

                    I'm thinking you have either a bad sign or a bad cable. Easiest test would be to build a new cable using the instructions provided in this thread: http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=167839 and see if you get better results.

                    Cheers

                          This line does not look right:

                          hs.PluginFunction("BLLED)", "", "SetMessage", New Object() {1, "A", "Today is Pentecost Sunday"})

                          It should be:

                          Code:
                          hs.PluginFunction("BLLED", "", "SetMessage", New Object() {1, "A", "Today is Pentecost Sunday"})
                          Cheers,

                            Weird, mine were working fine, but have gone into this state and nothing I do will get them out: hard resets, soft resets, reinitializing the sign, changing the sequence, deleting the config and reinstalling the plugin, powering off the signs, switching signs, setting the text through the config screen, etc. Any ideas? What debug info can I capture to help figure it out?

                            Thanks

                              Turn on debug logging and capture it not working and attach the BLLED-Detailed.log zipped here and I will have a look

                              What commands are you running?

                                Hi Bob,

                                Log attached. Let me know once you have it and I'll delete it here.

                                Here's the sequence I used:

                                - enabled debug logging
                                - hard reset of BB using the event command
                                - Set A to A - display starting showing an A
                                - Set B to B - display continues showing just the A
                                - Set C to C - display continues showing just the A
                                - Changed sequence to CBA using the event command - display continues showing just the A.
                                -disabled debug logging

                                I've also attached the ini file and a screen shot of the config for that BB.

                                Thanks
