I am trying to get started writing my own script (i eventually want to get the project to the point of using zones with the GPIO) but I am trying something simple. I have a flash card with just a red,blue,and green .bmp image and a simple script I wrote (see below). I save the script in a file 'autoplay.brs' however it doesn't seem to be working since it doesn't toggle between the blue and green images as I expect (it cycles through all three). Can anyone please give me some advice about getting started getting this script to work?


sub main()

debug = true
v=CreateObject("roVideoMode")
v.SetMode("1920x1080x60i")

i1=CreateObject("roImagePlayer")
i1.SetDefaultMode(0)

while true
i1.DisplayFile("blue.bmp")
sleep(1000)
i1.DisplayFile("green.bmp")
sleep(1000)

end while
end sub

  The file should be called autorun.brs.
  
  
  
  And, if you're not actually calling functions, you can drop the sub main().
  
  
  
  debug = true
  
  v=CreateObject("roVideoMode")
  
  v.SetMode("1920x1080x60i")
  
  
  
  i1=CreateObject("roImagePlayer")
  
  i1.SetDefaultMode(0)
  
  
  
  while true
  
  i1.DisplayFile("blue.bmp")
  
  sleep(1000)
  
  i1.DisplayFile("green.bmp")
  
  sleep(1000)
  
  
  
  end while

  Thanks for the help...i got confused because on your web page (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.brightsign.biz/implement.php">http://www.brightsign.biz/implement.php</a><!-- m -->) under implement is says just name the script file autoplay.bas
