stawski88 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hi. Running new version or LOR. Have two controllers and several musical sequences. I can turn on and off lights for controllers using hardware utility but not from show/schedule. The show has several musical sequences and when I enable shows I can hear the music from my FM transmitter but the lights do not turn on. Cant do show on demand. Tried creating new show not using the easy show creator - added and removed startup and shutdown, at a loss. thanks in advance for the help!! jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMeBobO Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Do the lights come on when running the sequence from Sequence Editor? Maybe your channel config or Network settings are not the same as those you selected from Hardware utility.

dibblejr Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 When I first started I had the same problem. I received a lt of hl from Orville d a few others. Bottom lineup from, I was directed to create my shows in the Hardware Utility in the MP3 tab, problem solved. Also sandisk cards do not work well in mini director.

I tried creating in hardware utility but not sure how to get them to play. Set the schedule and saved sequences/show in SD. Still no lights. Only when testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santas Helper Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Are you closing the HU when playing sequences thru SE? You can't have both running if this is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibblejr Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) 1) Hardware utility 2) LOR Mp3 tab 3) Rght Side- add sequence 4) Create Show If there are any errors between sequence and mp3 you will get a pop up and have to move the MP3 o the correct location. That's my prob,i have MP3s al over but I manage Best of luck *** And what Santas Helper Tom says. I forgot I did have that happen once JR Edited November 21, 2016 by dibblejr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsMeBobO Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) If HWU finds the lights on COM4 you should see in LOR Network settings your REGular network is set to COM4 Edited November 21, 2016 by ItsMeBobO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsMeBobO Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 ok now in your sequence you want to play. Are the lights assigned to the REG network? Channel Config tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stawski88 Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 Tried creating now show in HWU with the old firmware button checked. Received error "control array element 2 doesn't exist" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawski88 Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 One thing to note (seems trivial) HWU says Comm3 and network config says Com3. Didn't see option for Comm3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k6ccc Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 If you're running S4, do you have the Control Panel (and therefore the Comm Listener) running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Control Panel was running. I tried enabling schedule, and from the log it appears to be executing the show as planned. Only music plays - the lights do not respond.

stawski88 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Unit IDs didn't match what was in the controller. Thanks for everyone's input and help!! My CPU keeps crashing while trying to run shows (it's really old). I am using a new computer but HU can't find the comm port with the 485B. I need the latest version but the website to download it sucks. Anyone have a direct link? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
