Box on Rails Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Ok I just loaded S5 into my Show computer and set it up to run my house Pixels to see how well the group effects work. I am very pleased but my 4 CCR arches will not light up in S5. I got all the right setting for the network and controller numbers. When I was editing some sequences with the control lights button on everything I did on the screen was happening outside. All but the CCRs. I got into the hardware utility and the 2 CCRs were in the network unit 03 and 04. I was able to control them through the hardware utility and all worked fine. I tried moving the CCrs over to a different network. ( I have 3) and no luck. I am Guessing the CCrs might need a update. Has anyone else had this issue and if so what was the solution? thanks Kenny Jure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Are you running them on an enhanced network? As I recall, the early CCRs needed a firmware update in order to use enhanced networking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These CCRs are 9 years old and I have never had to upgrade. they have always worked fine in every version until now with the S5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 If they are nine years old, they need a firmware update. Enhanced networking was not even close to happening back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box on Rails Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Updating the firmware fix it .The CC Ribbons are working but after 8 years one of the ribbons finally failed. well only the last half of the ribbon fail. I thought I'll just go to the Light O Rama store and buy me a replacement Ribbon. Holy Molly....why are they so expensive. $150 for just the ribbon. ....... I might as well put that towards a New Pixie 2 for $170 and get an included controller and room to add 100 more pixels well what I ended up doing is cutting off the bad half of the ribbon and now instead of having four 8 foot arches I have Three. Thanks Jim for the heads up on the firmware. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
