R3 Feedback

How would I send text the the LCD display on an R3 remote? Are there any settings in the remote that will need to be changed to do this? I was told by AMX that they had the ablility to, I just can't get it to work.

The R3 LCD is programmed in KeypadBuilder only - the text has one dynamic line at address 1

^TXT
Assign a text string to those
buttons with a defined
address range
Sets non-unicode text.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'^TXT-<vt addr range>,<new text>'"
Variables:
? variable text address range = 1.
? button states range = 1 - 256 for multi-state buttons
(0 = All states, for General buttons 1 = Off state and 2 = On state).
? new text = 1 - 50 ASCII characters.
Example:
SEND_COMMAND Keypad,"'^TXT-1,Test Only'"
Sets the On and Off state text for the display.

An older thread, but this one had me scratching my head too. FINALLY realized in the manual that you have to send a ^FML command first. This has been working pretty good for me:

SEND_COMMAND dvR3,"'^FML-1,D'"
SEND_COMMAND dvR3,"'^TXT-1,Text Here'"

this worked for me once and then stopped... now I can't get the remote back to defaults when it displays the text programmed by keypadbuilder. any ideas?

Well, perhaps you could put text commands in the data_event>online: section that populate it with the default text you want.
