I'm actually having two problems. For reference, both blocks of code do essentially the same thing (2 different approaches) - the only functional difference is that block A only looks for 'remotely' connected monitors, block B looks for all connected monitors.
Problem 1: In both chunks of code, my monitors never set the text scale to 3 - they do everything else just fine, except that one thing - what am I doing wrong?
Problem 2: In code block A both of my monitors are found; in code block B only 1 is found - both monitors are attached via modem/network cable (modems are on) - what did I do wrong?
I'm using this code in a countdown timer - everything works, except all the text is at textScale 1 instead of 3 and I can't figure out why - the above code is the only place is the program that calls setTextScale so I'm reasonably sure it's not happening somewhere else in the program. For reference, the entire program…
