Duplicate IR triggered events

[jason ehl]

Hello all,

Hopefully someone can shed some light on a problem I am struggling through.

I am trying to remotely trigger an animatronic robot to play through a routine.

The animation software that I am using is brookshire vsa version 3.

I am using girder 4.0 with a usb-uirt IR blaster.

I have the program coming up just find, and running through the animation via the remote control. The problem that I am having is multiply events being triggered if you hit the button too many times or too long.

I tried following the example where it shows you how to set up the calculator....but it does not work with the brookshire software window for some reason.

I have tried the steps with other programs just to confirm that I get it...and everything else worked perfectly....calculator, media player...etc.

I have tried targeting every part of the brookshire window...with no luck.

Is there another way to eliminate multiple instances of the same event while the event is playing without going down the "conditional" route.

OR...if anyone can suggest some possible problems in how I am using the conditional commands I am all ears.

Thank you in advance for any help that you can give.

You are looking for AntiRepeat settings. Have a look at the manual on how to use those.

Ron,

Thanks for the lead. I will check the anti repeat functions out tonight.

Any clue as to why the window picker target method (outlined with that remote calculator demo) wouldnt work? I tried targeting pretty much every different box in the applications window with no luck.

You'll have to specifiy exactly how you are trying to control the app. What type of action, your targetting options and how many windows match to those options....

Ron,

Your recommendations worked like a charm.

Thank you very much for steering me in the right direction, and for the quick response.
