Rds text and sleep function
Hello all
Does anyone have a tip or an example how I can program the following in proppfrexx? When I press a button on my D&R Airence, it writes several lines of text to a .txt file with a pause between the lines and then the new line overwrites the old one. I already got this working in the Events & Commands with the Sleep function, but I can set that time to a maximum of 2 seconds and I would like to set it to 30 seconds and 60 seconds, thank you so much for your responses and thinking along

Re: Rds text and sleep function
FIRST make sure to start any of these commands with the ASYC command, this to make sure, that the subsequent commands run in their own thread and do not block other commands.
But you are right, today a SLEEP command has a limit (actually 10 seconds currently - I can increase that value in a next version.
So today, you need to add multiple subsequent SLEEP commands, e.g.:
So where the dots (...) are you can place your text command.

Re: Rds text and sleep function
I'm working on this too but can't get it to work yet.
In the photo you can see how I have set it up now.
During the SLEEP period I cannot execute any other commands and no texts are displayed
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks Henk
Re: Rds text and sleep function
The ASYNC keyword is only recognized if it is the first command. Only then, all subsequent commands are executed in an extra thread in a non-blocking mode.
Ie. it can not be used somewhere in the middle.

Hi Bernd,
Is it possible to make a continuous rotation so that the texts run continuously.
And it is also possible to stop the texts after they have been started.
many Thanks Henk

Re: Rds text and sleep function
I guess you can/must specify this in the RDS text yourself.
As those functions depend on the RDS encoder, which ProppFrexx doesn’t manage.
