Hallo together
I have a BrightSign Player HD 1010 and a Expander Board EM 100. Now i want to use both USB, the Audio Outputs ( not the Optical Output) and the 25-Pin-GPIO Control. Whats with the DIP Switch? I have downloaded and installed the Beta Firmware 3.2.53 for the HD 1010. I conected the expander board with the HD 1010 over USB1, but it doesn't work. BTW: I couldn't find a manual on the BrightSign-Webpage!!
Thanks for your Help

I'm attaching a draft of the hardware guide for the 25pin input. I've also added some sample scripts using the expander at the bottom of this reply.
Currently, the expander isn't supported in BrightAuthor, but works with playlists, csv files, and scripting of course.
What are the audio limitations on Monaco?
1. HDMI and onboard analog run at the same sample rate. That means that if you want to play a video clip with 48kHz AC3 out HDMI, then your MP3 files for onboard analog output should be 48kHZ too.
2. No AC-3 decode
3. No limit on where simultaneous streams are played to - different sample rates and formats can be sent to each expander output e.g. video MP2 at 48kHz to one, MP3 44.1kHz to the others.
4. Simultaneous playback of 1 video stream and up to 3 audio streams is the current limit, though it is dependent on a number of factors like video bitrate. The 3 audio streams here includes one for the video if there is one, which means that only 2 MP3s could be played at the same time as a video.
SetAudioOutput(roInt audioout)
In a playlist, this is the "audiooutput" keyword. In a csv file, this would be "videoplayeraudiooutput" or "audioplayeraudiooutput".
The audio outputs are similar, though not identical to HD2000.
0 - Analog. Output to onboard analog output or one of the 3 expander analog outputs.
1 - USB. Output to USB audio, this is largely untested as yet.
2 - Digital PCM. For playing decoded audio to either HDMI or expander SPDIF e.g. decoded MP3 files
3 - Digital raw. For playing undecoded audio to either HDMI or expander SPDIF e.g. AC-3
4 - Simultaneous onboard digital and onboard analog. I'm not aiming to do this for expander, only for onboard audio.
MapStereoOutput(roInt stereo_mapping)
This picks which analog stereo output is used from the 4 available:
0 - Onboard analog jack
1 - Expander left jack
2 - Expander centre jack
3 - Expander right jack
MapDigitalOutput(roInt hdmi_or_spdif)
This is new and isn't currently listed in csv files or playlists. But, this can be fixed easily.
This picks which digital output is used from the 2 available:
0 - HDMI
1 - Expander SPDIF
Power Adapter Use:
We recommend always using the included power adapter.
Dipswitches:
We have 8 DIP switches 1-8. Switches 6,7 and 8 control analog output mode, you can switch between Line Driver mode
(2Vrms, 600Ohm) and Headphone Mode (1.7Vrms, 16Ohm load)
The other DIP switches don’t do anything; however, their state can be read with BrightScript.

Please rename the script to "autorun.brs" before copying to your flash card.

Re: HD 1010 with Expander Board EM 100
I am using the HD1010 with the expander board as well.
As described above - brightauthor 2 doesn´t support the em100 - is there a sample of how to use the 18 GPIO as Inputs?
Example 1:
Button 1 plays "clip01.ts"
Button 2 plays "clip02.ts" ....
Example 2:
Button 1 plays "playlist01"
Button 2 plays "playlist02"...
is there an easy way to modify the brightauthor .brs and .xml files ? or do i have to do the scripting manually ?
thanks in advance for your help

This post was a while back, but I had wondered the same thing (Could you modify the .nrs files and .xml files output by BrightAuthor to make use of the expander GPIO?). The answer is YES and here is how:
Use BrightAuthor to do the things its good at (basically make your project as much as it will let you). Its not going to let you assign a GPIO past 7, so either use a number it will let you for now (like 0, as a placeholder), or just go back later and change it, whatever works for you. When you get as far as it will let you, publish the files like you normally would.
We will look at the .brs file first...
You need to set up the expander GPIOs, there will be a line in your autorun.brs file that says this:
Code: Select all
BSP.gpioPort = CreateObject("roGpioControlPort")It needs to say this:
Code: Select all
BSP.gpioPort = CreateObject("roControlPort", "Expander-GPIO")Further down in that same file you will see:
Code: Select all
Sign.gpio0Config = BrightAuthor.meta.gpio0.GetText()
if Sign.gpio0Config = "input" then
gpioPort.EnableInput(0)
else
gpioPort.EnableOutput(0)
endifYou need to create this bit of code for every GPIO you use, just replace "0" with the input/output number.
On to the .xml file...
Under <meta> you should see some lines like this:
Code: Select all
<gpio0>output</gpio0>
<gpio1>output</gpio1>...(Mine are outputs but it works both ways, just change "output" to "input")
Again, you need a line like this for every GPIO you want to use. Here is mine for all 18 GPIOs, again, as outputs:
Code: Select all
<gpio0>output</gpio0>
<gpio1>output</gpio1>
<gpio2>output</gpio2>
<gpio3>output</gpio3>
<gpio4>output</gpio4>
<gpio5>output</gpio5>
<gpio6>output</gpio6>
<gpio7>output</gpio7>
<gpio8>output</gpio8>
<gpio9>output</gpio9>
<gpio10>output</gpio10>
<gpio11>output</gpio11>
<gpio12>output</gpio12>
<gpio13>output</gpio13>
<gpio14>output</gpio14>
<gpio15>output</gpio15>
<gpio16>output</gpio16>
<gpio17>output</gpio17>Next, go through the .xml code and either change your dummy inputs/outputs that you created in Bright author, or write new lines with the higher number GPIOs that you need.
I have done this a bunch of times now, and as always spent some time in trial and error in the beginning. I thought this might help anyone with similar problems. Also, the pin out is wrong for the expander, GPIO 16 and 17 are switched. Let me know if you need me to clarify anything.
