Problem with scheduler
« on: November 08, 2012, »
Ok I have run into another problem. When I set a show to run at a time, let's say 17:00 the Conductor Control Panel will say waiting until the time for the show to run. Then at the time the show should start it goes to "Not Connected" and will not change until I take power away and restart. The show waiting again. I have checked all of my pins on the CF reader and even touched them up just to make sure. I have reformatted my CF card and reloaded. Any suggestions?

Note: I was playing sequences the other night just hitting the play button and everything ran then.

I'm having similar schedule problems. I put two shows in the schedule. The first one won't run "on time." The second one starts when expected.

The two shows have identical contents. Just different names (and they are 8 or less characters.)

I was patiently waiting to see if others had problems. Like you, either show would manually run without problem.
The scheduler interface is very spartan.

I could be wrong here. But I seem to remember RJ stating that when the conductor is running a show it no longer sends packets that updates the control panel software. Its busy sending packs to the slave for syncing and of course running the show. So my questions is when you saw the not connected do you know if a show was running (lights flashing, music?).
