Hello, we're in the sign business, but just make simple little yard sale and real estate signs that you plop into the lawn. About a year ago we purchased a double side LED reader board from what ended up being an unscrupulous seller in California, no service after the sale.
Anyway, sign has worked ok for the most part, until recently as we've had an ongoing issue (read below)-
XMplayer LED reader board is always “dark” (can barely see the sign images) every morning. We manually enter bright/dime times (our sign doesn't have a solar eye)
We run the program on “async” XMPlayer 3.1 (latest version). When we schedules items:
#1 (Play program). Select the slide and then we run the sign for a 24 hr period (00:00:00 to 23:59:59) valid date “unlimited” We only run one slide, not scheduling several
#2 (Brightness setting “Bright”). We want the sign to be on full bright (255) from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m
#3 (Brightness setting “Dim”). We want the sign to be on dim (25) from 8:31 p.m. to 6:29 a.m.
We then submit this schedule to LED sign. BUT, every morning when I come into the shop, the sign is at “dim”, almost unreadable (though the slide is running the ads). I have no idea what time the sign goes "dim"....all I know is that when I come into the shop @ 8 a.m. next day, it's barely viewable (but again, slide is running)
What’s going on here? This scheduling regime used to work fine. Do we need to do a major reboot of the LED board (how would we do that?) and/or is our software faulty?
We’re open to any and all suggestions! THNX!
