Author Topic: Crappy: relays, VCE, or centerprint - pick your favorite(s)  (Read 1398 times)

I have a basic event system in place and there are four choices: either relays do not fire correctly, VCE is broken, the default centerprint event is broken or these three do not work together at all. My money is on relays.

I have a control brick that once clicked fires one relay to 4 named bricks in 100ms intervals. One relay per one brick.
Once the named bricks get the relay, they modify a brick variable in the control brick by setting the value to 1.
Once clicked, after 500ms the control brick displays a centerprint with the first brick's value. 1000ms later a centerprint with the second brick's value and so on.

It seems to work the first time I click the control brick. If I click it again several seconds later usually the centerprints do not display the last 2-3 brick's variables. Oddly enough everything does seem to work. (The rest of the event system heavily relies on these 4 variables.)

I only have defaults + VCE enabled. Hosting a passworded internet server with only me on it.

Maybe it has to do with an overload of relays?

4 sets of 2 relays 100ms apart. I don't think so. Come to think of it I believe I've had this problem before. VCE variables not displaying (correctly) in prints.

I think there can only be one relay running at once.

Wrong.

Demian if you want, I could see what I could do with helping. Eventing is my specialty after all.

I think VCE is getting overloaded. I'm setting a dozen functions with those relays.

Shouldn't be an issue.
