Hi, I have tired a couple of time to use the serial control through the RS232 of the HD1010 but did not success to control either the projectors or the displays. Checked with a snifer software if the HD1010 was sending out commands, it did. Using the same commands from a PC was successful. Any idea what I did wrong? (working with BrightAuthor 1.2.13 Thanks a lot Carlo

    I would check the autorun.brs file on the flash card to verify if debug mode is turned on. debug should be set to false. If it's on, you can update the autoxml.brs file under c:/program files/brightsign/brightauthor/templates and set debugon to FALSE. THen, any newly published projects will have debug off.


    Did you set the serial port settings under file, sign properties?
    For your displays, what's the on and off command you are supposed to send?
    Is it sent as a string or does it have to be hex? Do you need to send a carriage return?

    Thanks for your answer.
    Unfortunately I only had the BrightSign for a few days at the office to test it.
    I was though really pleased with it and we will soon own some.

    I will then update my post here.

    check if the debug mode = off in the autorun script,
    when debug mode is on, the roku spits out all sorts of messages over the serial port, your projector or display doesn't like that,
    doesn't understand it, so it won't react to the serial commands,

    Under C:/program files/brightsign/brightauthor/templates, you'll find the master autorun file, named autoxml.brs. You can copy that to your desktop, open it, then set debugon to FALSE.

    Then, copy it back to the templates folder.
