ddd Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 What if any are the differences between the Gen2 & Gen3 controllers? ddd Bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDucks Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I have the same mix. One thing the Gen 3 can be on an Enhanced LOR network. I think this precludes using a single LOR network IF you want to use Enhanced mode on the Gen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 5 hours ago, ddd said: What if any are the differences between the Gen2 & Gen3 controllers? ddd Bud The Gen 2's have a red power light on the right and the Gen 3 have a green one on the left. Older boards *sometimes* have issues with multiple full strings of full-wave LEDs on the same channel dimming properly. The Gen 3 are engineered to avoid those issues. And there's the speed difference noted above. Boards older than Gen 3 won't work on network speeds above 115K. As far as lighting commands go, they're all equal, and can be mixed and matched seamlessly in standard-speed networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddd Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Thanks!! TWO DUCKS & GEORGE SIMMONS for the info. Could not find it any where else. Puts my mind at ease as I I have a mix of the two. (I am expanding my controller count) Now I know that they will work & play well with each other. ddd Bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
