![]() ![]() I'll put big money on the fact that it failed by being on an LOR channel. I'll have to try another approach for the automation. I want the LOR show to control everything and that was my original motivation for putting the sign directly on a channel. It's interesting to me is that it is the Betabrie power supply that dies, not the LED message sign itself. I'll try again tonight without putting it on a LOR channel. OK - Just cannibalized an old PC power supply (took a sec to figure out how to get it to turn on) and have my original Betabrite running fine. I'll bet that someone more familiar with the LOR electronics can comment better on this. I'd re-think that approach of having it on an LOR channel. I used to plug mine into an X10 device a couple years ago so it would only be on at night, but for the last couple of years, I just leave it on all the time for advertisement. ![]() ![]() Have you ever looked at an LOR channel output on an O'scope? It doesn't produce a true AC sine wave you know! It's probably not noise, but the shape of the AC wave. It just occurred to me that you said you have it on an LOR channel! I think that is a bad idea to put any electronic device on an LOR channel. At night during the show, I have it showing the song titles and they are playing (using LOR to run DOS batch file at beginning of each song). In day time it displays a couple of messages about show times and other things. I keep it on day and night during the season. I bought mine 3 years ago and still working fine. ![]()
