Change Release Notes
This ARC update introduces a fantastic new feature to extend single scripts for event triggers. Until now when an event was triggered, it would execute only a single script command. Now you can add multiple scripts to a single command. Keep in mind, these are still "Event Triggers" and not complete scripts. This is how event trigger programming works in software - while a trigger is executing, it blocks all other commands until it has completed. This means you should not perform time intensive commands (i.e. loops and waits, etc).
- All Event Triggers now support multiple EZ-Script lines
- SendSerial() command no longer disconnects EZ-B if more than 9 characters are sent

On the second send it will disconnect on me.
I've rebooted, .Net was just updated the other day.
If i only send 8 characters I can send it multiple times with no problems.
If I add in a 9th character it will send once, then on the second or third send it disconnects.
@DJ - I can now send a max of 13 characters before the EZ-B will lockup. My Script is:
SendSerial(D3, 9600, "sHello Charle", 0x0d)
If I add to the script:
SendSerial (D3, 9600, 0x0D) Sleep(20) SendSerial(d3, 9600, "sHello Charle",0x0d) Sleep(20)
It causes the EZ-B to lockup, blue light does not come on anymore and the red BT light starts blinking.
Is there anything else you want me to try with this? I am wondering if I need to add a resistor to it.
This is also happening on the Serial LCD module I have.
You do not need to add a resistor. I cannot reproduce these errors on any of our computers. I'll try looking at it later - i'm driving blind.
I can make a vid?
@DJ - okay, I appreciate it. Thank You
@Lumpy seeing the failure won't help. It's about watching the insides of windows
No problem. Just trying to help.
To brighten your day!
