Funky RS232 Simpl Bug #simpl

 

Hey all, just curious if anyone's seen this before.

I've had a really funky bug with Simpl recently where it either won't properly compile certain rs232 commands or it will just refuse to create them in the compiled project. For example, I have a new build using the always rock-solid Samsung 460 UTN module, but the compiled project doesn't compile the power on/off commands properly. I know this is the case because I can manually send the commands in debugger (and can see that identical commands are "being sent" by the system when they're supposed to) and I get the result I expect. I tried rebuilding the module itself and there's nothing wrong with it.

I've had this happen with a handful of modules/devices now (besides Samsung) where either a known working module or even placing the strings on the com port itself will seem to function properly in debugger, but no reaction from the device. In each case, running the same program, I can send an identical signal manually on that serial out and everything works as expected.

So far, the most unexplainable solution is placing a SIO in the root logic folder in Simpl and building the problem commands there. If the SIO is in a subfolder it doesn't like it, but root folder it usually sorts it. Tried recompiling and rebuilding programs too. I don't believe it's my machine, but I'm open to suggestions.?
 

Just curious, is your computer managed by an IT department or do you own every aspect of this computer and the operating system?
 

Company supplied but 100 percent unmanaged/personal machine. Also no cloud syncing going on during compile time?
 

Oh okay, I know I've have our company laptops do very odd things with modules but ours are very much managed by our IT department. We've seen module signals get shifted around and module inner-workings get completely mangled.
 

So what's the magic incantation that is breaking it?
