To begin testing your custom script:
1 Copy your content and script file to the CF/SD card.
2 Name your script RUN.BAS. You can call it anything, as long as it’s not AUTORUN.BAS, so it
doesn’t start automatically.
3 Add
debug = true
as the first line of your script. This command enables you to see output
from the print statements you added to your script.
4 Insert your CF/SD card into your BrightSign and add power.
5 When the Roku prompt appears, type the following:
script run.bas
Multi-run script limitations
Currently when a script terminates, BrightSign does not free resources allocated by Roku Objects.
This means that if you use the script shell command to run a script, and the script exits, you may
not be able to run it again successfully unless you reboot your BrightSign between script tests.
Linux shell (HD2000 only)
The HD2000 has a Linux shell that you can access via the serial port. To access the Linux shell,
enter the following at the Roku prompt:
exit
When you are done using the Linux shell, enter the following at the Linux prompt:
reboot
