Help with STICK
Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2010 5:08 pm
I'm not certain if anyone is having the same problems I am but I'd love to know if there is a solution.
We put a STICK in to control a small LED display system, 120channels simle color changing and fades, no fancy triggers, just simply run scene w at time x and run scene y at time z.
I have everything on a global area, there are 12 scenese total mapped to pages A & B and set to run depending on the Date.
Should be pretty straight forward.
It's been in place for a year now and I don't think it's managed to operate for more than two weeks without locking up. I've tried beta versions and continuous upgrades on the device and even put a different STICK in place with the same stability issues. I thought maybe since the show file had been carried over for a few versions that it was possible there was some bug there, so I re-wrote everything, and programmed in all the show times required and now it won't trigger at all.
The blackout show is setup using the One Day Radio button in From it has the month and day is set to all.
The scenes are set to trigger at say 6pm and run from friday to thurs so I selected settings and picked the date range I want. Shows are setup to always loop.
I find the documentation quite scattered and lacking.
Normally I'd just look and get another product, but it appears that a good portion of the items out there are all based on the nicolaudie platform, so I would expect similar behavior from them.
Are there any common conditions that cause a STICK to lock up?
Are there known issues with certain procecssor / operating system combinations on the USB drivers?
Are there any features in the Calendar that are known not to work well together?
Thanks in advance for any information or experience others can share.
