AMX MET-6N KeyPad

Hello,
I'm trying to flash a button on my KeyPad during a power on of a Projector: I already tried with while, set_pulse_time and pulse but my button doesn't flash.
Which is the trick?

Many thanks
Andrea

I generally have a timeline that is running on a .5 or 1 second cycle. If I need a flashing button, there would be a series of lines in the timeline that will flash and unflash the button.

In the define_variable area i have a line like this:

VOLATILE INTEGER FLASH = 1

In the timeline would be the following code:

FLASH = !FLASH

IF ([vdvDVR1,244])
{
[dvKeypad,1]=FLASH
}


In the above example, if channel 244 is on in the DVR virtual device it is in record mode andI flash the record button.

For something like a projector warm-up, you would probably want to flash the button during the warmup/cooldown process and then force the button on or off depending on the state of the projector.

Try this:

(* on brightness to max / off brightness to min *)
SEND_COMMAND dvKeypad, "'@BRT-32,0'"
(* on wheel brightness to max / off wheel brightness to min *)
SEND_COMMAND dvKeypad, "'@WBRT-32,0'"

From experience, these commands only set the brightness values for the on/off states. They still need to be cycled on/off. The above command only needs to be sent one time in the online event of each keypad.

True, but it may be related to TS' problem
If the "On" brightness was set to 0% then the button doesn't flash
