- Rack Smart Brick Brain Messages -
The optional LCD display displays a variety of messages
about the current state of the Rack Smart Brick Brain. When it first
boots it displays:
Rack Brick Brain
rev 1.00 @00h 8n
This shows the revision number of the firmware, the card is ad-
dressed at 00h, the baud rate is set to 9600 (that is what the
code number ‘8’ means), and that no parity is enabled (that is
the ‘n’).
The lower line of the display normally will show the current time
as long as there is no show running, and the show time and
frame number if a show is running. A variety of other messages
will be displayed by the top line of the display. Some of these will
flash by too fast to ever be read.
"start string", "end string", "MultiDisk string” :
Sending a start, end, or MultiDisk string. The number
of the string, the byte within that string, and the response
to it will be displayed exactly as on a Heads Up Display.
"waiting for PB", "waiting for blue", "wait for green "
These are displayed if a code was found in the start
or end string that causes the Smart Brick Brain to wait for
a closure on any of these inputs.
"at end of show":
Normal end of show has been found.
"invalid FPS":
The Frame Rate has been set to a value which won’t
work with the type of time code selected.
