View Full Version : Problem sending events from scripts to UIRT2

Hi guys,

I'm having some reliability problems with triggering events from Lua.

I've got a multigroup called Watch terrestial that runs a couple of commands (setting the lights, selecting the correct i/p on the amp) then it tries to determine if we are in TV or AV1 mode (from a girder variable).

if (TV=="AV") then
TriggerEvent("TV_AV",18);
TV="TV";
end

TV_AV corresponds to a standard UIRT2 output command.

If I execute TV_AV directly, it always works.

When I execute the multigroup, the TV_AV event seems to get triggered, but the UIRT doesn't always manage to get the command out.

I've just spotted an error message in girder... I get this sometimes when it isn't working.
"ERR No ACK from UIRT."

Any suggestions on how to debug this?

Is there a way to send a IR signal out directly from Lua, rather than having to trigger it as an event?

Cheers, Andy.
