I have an demo HD600 and I'm having difficulty getting a simple slideshow script to work. Basically I'm looking to have a 5-6 bmp files display for 6 seconds each and loop endlessly. I've tried even copying the samples listed on the Implement page without success. Could someone just post a short script I could try. Thanks,

Chris

  Unless you specifically need to do a custom script, 90%+ of what you'll want to do on the brightsign doesn't require any custom script. You just need to fill out a simple playlist or use a csv file if you want interactivity. To do what you ask, there are only three things you need:
  
  
  
  1. Autorun.bas (our autoplay script)
  
  
  
  Go to the rokulabs.com, to the support section for BrightSign, and download the latest autoplay script for the brightsign. When unzipped, copy the autorun.bas script to your flash card.
  
  
  
  
  
  2. Your Content
  
  Copy your bitmap files to the brightsign.
  
  
  
  
  
  3. A Playlist
  
  
  
  Create a text file and call it autoplay. All it needs to contain are the names of your files, one per line, and the following command at the very top. Once saved, rename the file, changing the extension to .bsp instead of .txt.
  
  
  
  slideinterval 6
  
  
  
  This command sets the delay between images to 6 seconds. I'll email you a sample playlist.

  Where does the autorun.bas file live now that brightsign is separate from rokulabs?

  The current FW looks for a autorun.brs file and this file is on the root of the SD card.
