iSchedule... G4???

TurnipTruck · May 2006

Greeting,

Does anyone know if the latest version of iSchedule can be used with G4 panels? I'm thinking that the variable text commands in the module are written around G3 panel send_commands.

I am putting together a system with a G4 panel and cannot get it working.

I have sucesfully used iSchedule with G3 panels previously.

Thank you.

Never mind, I got it working. However, the conversion from 1024x768 to NXD-CV10 size was UGLY!!!!

I've never had any trouble using G3 send-commands on a G4 panel. Other way around maybe, but as far as I know, the G4's are backwards compatible.

Compatible until you get up to channel 256 or higher. Then you gotta use the G4 calls.

Yeah, but if you were converting G3 code in the first place, that shouldn't be an issue. And besides, if you want to get technical, channels over 256 aren't part of the G3 command spec in the first place, so at that point it's not a G3 command

Well...... Nyah!

I did a system with a G4 panel back when they first came out that I was sending variable text to. By default, I was just using the G3-style commands, figuring that the master & TP firmware would be hip enough to deal with the >255 values. Nope. So yeah, I wasn't taking the "converting from a G3 system" into mind when I first saw this thread.
