dibblejr Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 To keep it simple assign it a unit number after your previous unit # and maybe even skip a unit or 2 if you may add some. This will make it less confusing. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe3502 Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 My 2 16PC units are IDs 1 & 2 so I set my Pixie16 to unit ID 3. So I should maybe put it up to unit ID 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I should maybe put it up to unit ID 5? 3 is fine but I’m just giving you room to expand but with only 3 controllers even rebuilding your master config will not be very difficult. My friend has a difficult job copy pasting and I’m constantly going to his house so last night I place a couple extra units in between and I just left his house showing him he made mistakes since the first one before his pixie has sequence written to it but is not used. his famous last words “you know I am a programmer anyone can copy paste” JR Edited October 28, 2017 by dibblejr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wont, its a different controller, unit ID. Its the same principal as the 2 AC controllers. Unit 1 = Channels 1-16 and Unit 2 = channels 1-16 but they do not control each other because unit ID assignment. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe3502 Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 But I have the base unit of the Pixie16 set at 3 but the regular 16PC channels still control the pixels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Run the Verifier. See what it finds. I'm still betting it's a channel conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddm1919 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) Joe.. I know this is an older thread, but saw you were waiting to 2018 to do your ribbons. Unfortunately, I did not find this thread until after I ran into the same problem as you. However, in my testing I purchased a ribbon from Holiday Coro. Their ribbon’s color order is RGB, which matches LOR’s pixels. That means that you would be able to run the ribbons and pixels from the same Pixie controller. You would just need to switch out the pigtail on the controller. Edited February 19, 2018 by toddm1919 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
