Bug in Dual Double Strobe Light Effect

<< < (2/4) > >>

nodcc4me:
Are you using the HC Sim to program the module? I have had files disappear off of the HC Sim and the module I programmed with it on more than one occasion.

Bill,
The software version is Rev 1.06.  I don't see any updates for the LM-3S on the server, so I assume it is up to date.

NoDCC4me,
I have tried copying the file to the LM-3S using both the C-1 and the HC-2b with the same results.  Regarding files disappearing from the C-1 I was going to ask about that.  It seems to forget a lot.  But the file Dual Double Strobe was present on both the HC and C-1 and appeared to copy with no errors.  It just wasn't available when I tried to apply it.  I have another LM-3S and an LM-3 that copied the file with no problems and I was able to apply it on those.  I tried copying another file and it too wasn't available, so I'm guessing the problem has to do with recording the file on the LM rather than with the program itself.  Perhaps the file was corrupted because of this issue when I originally tried to use it, or the module is wonky.

This really isn't that big a deal, but now it's a challenge.  It's not worth a lot of time to investigate, unless it's a sign of a more substantial problem, but I would like to know why it does what it does.

Thanks for your time.

If you have any files on the LM that you don't need, try deleting them, and try copying the program again.

Ugh, I had forgotten about this :'( There is a bug in either the LM or  HC/HC Sim (I don't rightly know which but I'm leaning towards the HC/HC Sim) software that it only shows 2 pages of effects, even if you have more than 2 pages worth loaded into the LM. I can't quite remember if I discovered that with sounds or lighting effects but if you have 2 full pages of effects loaded into the LM indeed delete some effects and the other ones you loaded should show up.

I thought I had reported this to RE as well I but I can't find it in my outbox.

Regarding the HC-Sim "forgetting" files....I brought this up to Tim while beta-testing and he mentioned that the program is designed to save upon exit.  There was a reason for this, but I don't remember it.  So after downloading things from RE to the HC-Sim, exit the program to save it to memory, then open it back up.  Should all be there after that.
