Ways to upgrade RemoteSign Sequencer:
- You can simply download and install RemoteSign the same location. A registered copy will remain registered.
- You can also run Fetcher.exe (in RemoteSign folder since version 2.4.15) and double click the Sequencer.exe to get the new executable. (Script files will not be updated.)
2023-03-08 V3.10.15
Updated features

2023-03-06 V3.10.0
New features
2023-01-25 V3.9.0
New features
- A new File menu item: Load RemoteSign ESP brings up a screen that you can use to flash RemoteSign ESP software to an ESP8266 board that is connected via USB. Note the feature relies on the prior installation of arduino-cli

- Fixed a bug setting variables from sensor values
2022-11-26 V3.8.77
New feature

- Log->Show Log will now position the log window to the right of the main Sequencer window.
- When a variable is changed, {SETVAR} commands are no longer broadcast to RemoteSign ESP devices (which ignore them anyway)
- Added a new 'Record" button that will record to all connected RemoteSigns. Modified the old record button to record only to the current RemoteSign. This allows for greater flexibility if you wish to just update a script file on a specific RemoteSign.

2022-11-07 V3.8.72

2022-06-27 V3.8.67
New feature
- Sensor channels can define sensors using virtual pins to obtain multiple items from a single sensor. For example a TMP36 on pin A0 reporting a voltage can be used to get changes in Temperature in Fahrenheit using virtual pin V1. Virtual pins will work on lower numbered physical sensors.
Fix
- Corrected a regression bug that prevented values from being transferred from sensor and pins greater than one, to a variable using the Variable command.
2022-06-20 V3.8.66
New features
- Sensor definitions in {DCH} can now specify a sensor to sense temperatures in °C, or °F, or voltages (in mV) on the pin A0 pin connected to a TMP36 temperature sensor. Returned values can also be moved into variables. (Requires RemoteSign ESP 3.6.)
- Scripts can be triggered by temperature or voltage sensor using the 'On' option - now 'On+'
- Appending a scripts from another file will now also bring in RemoteSigns that are defined in the appended file. Signs that have the same address are now merged and all references to the signs are maintained
Fixes
- Corrected UI display in the screen for defining {ROW} commands that suggested colors were available for animated rows.
- Prevent error message if one tries to define sensors for a RemoteSign that is not an ESP device.
2022-06-12 V3.8.54

Update RemoteSign ESP devices to version 3.5 and register it to gain the capability on the ESP side. Note: this new version of RemoteSign Sequencer needs to be installed with the installer as there is an additional system file that is needed.
2021-04-18 V3.0.26

- .rsf file import now adds the new {RUNSCRIPT} command to the imported data.
- Added new settings to support recording behavior when running Sequencer scripts. This includes:
- Fast recording = the ability to download the commands generated by a Sequencer script at high speed instead of waiting for the script to play in real-time.
- Synch - NTP - allows automatic substitution of an {NTP} command instead of sending current local time when synching time.
- Skip {RECORD} - so one does not inadvertently record over downloaded scripts.
- Added new Setting system command to allow changes to settings from within scripts.
- Updated tour to cover new controls in the interface.
