does the scheduler send to lights

thanks jonathon i have changed the pc to English USA and it works fine, so will just have to remember to change it on the nights that the show runs.

Well, let's first clear up how dates are read.  In the US, dates are read as MM/DD/YYYY, not DD/MM/YYYY as they are in Europe.  So, 01/12/2009 is January 12, 2009, not December 1, 2009.

This confusion has led to a few problems with other international users.  You'll want to set the date on your show computer to match the US format so the computer can properly communicate the correct date with Borealis. 

Next, ignore the calender itself.  Due to mouseover problems on Borealis last year for a certain user <ahem, me>, Michael (the programmer) disabled the calender.  Clicking on any date brings up the first available date for the month you happen to be on irregardless of what day you clicked on.  So for now, ignore the calender.

I want you to go to File, then select "New Schedule item".  Name your show.  Then manipulate the start date and end date boxes by hand using the US date format of MM/DD/YYYY.  So December 1, 2009 would be 12/01/2009, and January 10, 2009 would be 01/10/2009.  Then select the sequences you want to play in your loop, including a run once start sequence and a run once end sequence if you like.  The start and end sequences are optional, but you need at least one song in the main loop.  Once everything is the way you like it, hit Add.  If it added successfully, on the month your show is scheduled to run, you will see the show name and the time listed for it to run.  Once you hit the green Start button, it will wait for the next scheduled show. 

You do not need to have anything hooked up for this to work; the scheduler sends out the commands whether any network adapters (USB RS-485) or controllers (ACx16's) are listening to it or not. 

that is what january 2010 shows all in white like you say december is suppose to


and here is the month of december, when i tell it to setup the days and right click on any day / date in december it always brings up 01/12/2009 and doesnt post the sequences ive uploaded? please help, have i not got the install correct, aurora works fine, but i dont have the pcd board or lights connected as yet does that make a difference?

on the tutorial the area where the dates for the month are ie 1st dec 2nd dec are coloured cream, but when i open up the scheduler on my pc here it shows dark grey, why??

i have a question, now that all the sequences are finished, and that i have sourced all the music and checked and double checked and triple checked everything looks good, how do i make it all work on the days of the month if you know what i mean, ie in dlight i used the scedhuler to programme my dates last year, but now ive got aurora do i still use the orignal sceduler or download something related to aurora?
cheers thanks for your help.
