I can understand if you had said that closing the LOR control panel and reopening it would solve the problemOn my test computer, I was experiementing with using the Windows command to send messages to my BetaBrite sign. After saving the updated sequences with the command messages in them, all I had to do was restart the LOR control panel, (effectively causing the show to reload), not recreate the shows. I'm thinking that might be what really fixed the problem in your case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dameron Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Just an OBTW for the 'Windows Command' topic... The Grandwell SCH16H tri-color LED sign works well w/the 'Windows Command' feature of S2... the Grandwell sign is less expensive than the BetaBrite... $159.00 (free shipping) from Grandwell (http://www.grandwell.com/specials.php)... and I've seen it as low as $118 (plus shipping) on ebay...The control software needed to display the 'Now Playing... etc' from the S2 sequences is available free from Industrologic, Inc. (same place as the BetaBrite software)... http://www.industrologic.com/slc16hdesc.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstein Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Has anyone tried using a serial to usb adapter for their BetaBrite Classic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleeaz Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 I was using one with mine. Labtop was running Windows Vista, but also worked with another PC running Windows XP. Had no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomskillman Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I, too am using a USB to Serial adapter with my Betabrite. I don't know the manufacturer off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
