A bit off-topic perhaps and definately one for the deveopers: I did some debugging and found the cause (on the Controller anyway) to be the watchdog process that wasn't being given enough time to kick the hardware watchdog, the h/w watchdog times out and the Controller reboots. I got round the reboot issue with my Controller applet by spawning the applet as a coroutine that yields every so often at various strategic points. I then created a timer object with a 500ms repeat that monitors the coroutine and resumes it if it is yielded and stops itself if it is dead. It was a fairly simple change to the code in the end. I think in the long term a script would need to be added to the firmware that would kick the watchdog and could be called from any applet to give iteself a bit more time to execute. -- indifference_engine 2xReceiver, 2xController, 1xSB3, 2xSqueezeSlave, SBS 7.5.3 Inventor of SqueezeIR applet for the Controller ------------------------------------------------------------------------ indifference_engine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20698 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81207 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
