Sample script
Here is how to create a very simple script:
1 Using a text editor, create a file called HELLO.BRS by entering this line:
print “hello world”
2 Save HELLO.BRS into the root directory of a SD card.
3 Insert the SD card into BrightSign.
4 Connect the serial port of BrightSign to your PC using a null modem cable.
5 On your PC, run HyperTerminal.
6 Turn on BrightSign and wait for the Roku> shell prompt to appear.
7 Type:
script hello.brs
You should see “hello world” on your PC screen.
8 If you want the script to autorun upon boot, rename it AUTORUN.BRS.
Roku Objects
As well as the BrightScript language itself, BrightSign relies upon a library of Roku Objects to
expose the hardware to the scripting language. Each Roku Object provides access to certain
capabilities. For example, there is a roVideoPlayer object and a roTouchScreen object. To create
an object in a script, you need to use the CreateObject() function.
When writing scripts, refer to the following two manuals:
•
Roku BrightScript Reference:
Describes the scripting language
•
Roku Object Reference:
Describes Roku Objects, such as
roVideoPlayer
