joeberggren@hotmail.com Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Hi guys, Sophomore year of LOR, I'm all LED. 32 channels. 10,000 lights. I have basic plus edition. I use simple show builder to create shows. Everything works well using the HU. I have a glitchy channel and 3 others that do not turn on during shows. I have tried to trouble shoot as far as I know with the software. Whats the next step in trouble shooting? Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santas Helper Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 So within the channel config buttons on the right, you verified the channels with issues that the correct Unit ID is selected and correct Channel #? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanZ Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Open up the controllers and check for loose connections and make certain everything's wired correctly. Just speculating, but it's possible you may have overloaded some channels or have something which is causing a short on the affected channels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeberggren@hotmail.com Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Thanks for the responses. So going back into the HU console, I can turn all channels on correctly. I also have the same amount of lights on multiple channels. For ex: I have 4 posts with the same amount of lights on each and post #4 won't turn on during multiple songs. That is telling me that it is in the controllers??? Is there a way, through the software, to test how much power each channel is drawing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but if you go to your closest Menards and pick up a Kill-A-Watt meter you can measure it precisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still believe it's in your sequence channel configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
