I have just started programming my Pronto. I am running into an inordinate numbers of crashes, it seems to me. Is this normal? Code that works in the emulator crashes the hardware. An ewxample:
a button with the following code:
[B]Projector - main - menu
[B]Projector - main - v
[B]Projector - main - v
[B]Projector - main - v
[B]Projector - main - v
[B]Projector - main - >
[B]Projector - main - v
[B]Projector - main - >
[B]Projector - main - v
[B]Projector - main - menu

Each of those lines is an alias to a learned command to control my projector. Is this too much? The doco says you can have 255 commands, of any type. This doesn't even come close. Should I be putting delays in? The problem is not with operating the device however. The problem is that when I download the code and push the button, the pronto freezes for a couple of seconds, and then restarts. Right now, it's happening EVERY time for 2 different buttons. Buttons that only have a single IR command attached always seem to work. The problem is the same whether I load an entire multi-device ccf, or just the one page. I AM loading bitmaps for the buttons, but so far I'm only using about 7 different bitmaps, so I wouldn't think it's a memory problem. Also, I have BOTH beeps turned off.

Can anyone suggest a way around this difficulty? I am running firmware revision 4.5.

Thanks,
Gary

You mention aliases to learned codes. What are the names you assigned to those learned codes? If you renamed them from [c]learned to your own custom name you must not have any spaces whatsoever in the name. Use a "." or "-" or "_" instead. Big Pronto Bug lives in those spaces.
