Gina Burns Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I have created a sequence in Pixel Editor and did the whole saved intensity data. The sequence editor shows the PE information but when i try to run the lights nothing happens. What am I doing wrong or missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Couple things to check. Is the LOR network set to Enhanced? Are the controllers capable of running on an Enhanced network? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What controllers? How did you configure/ set up the controllers within SE? I asked that since you didn't know what enhanced was/ is. If you have a pixie 2/4/8/16 you can read my step by step configuration in the General Hardware section of the forums. "Pixie16 Configuration Step by Step" this will/ may help you. It is stickied at the top of the page. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Intensity files require that the network being used is set to enhanced mode. If you start up Network Preferences, assuming you have it in Simple mode, it will look something like this. If you are already in Advanced mode, skip this step. Press the button on the right for Advanced. After you click on the advanced button, it will look something like this. Click on whatever network you are using (Most likely Regular), and you should get something like this (without my Comment of course): Make sure the Enhanced LOR Network is selected near the bottom.

Gina Burns Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Ok another issue...what am i missing? I have 2 pixie 16 controllers hooked up.

For example, i have the text effect in part of the sequence...it looks great in PE but when the lights run it it is doubled box 1 is putting it out and box 2 is putting it out...they r not working together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like the controllers read the circuits 1-16 and 1-16......not 1-32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like the controllers read the circuits 1-16 and 1-16......not 1-32 It sounds like the controllers are using the same Unit IDs. Verify the ID settings on the controllers. 1st Pixie 16 - You set the starting ID of 1 and it will use 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0A, 0B, 0C, 0D, 0E, 0F, 10. 2nd Pixie 16 - you set the starting ID of 11 and it will use 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F, 20. You assign the starting ID of each controller and the software assigns the next 15 automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gina Burns Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Really???? When i get home i will change it then! Let me ask this just in case...if I don't have a 1 (i don't remember seeing it) but i have 01 would that work too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count 16 (in Hex)+1 before you add another device Since you have Pro, the (need to keep sequential) counts are not an issue. Assign by Blocks: 20-2F, 30-3F (So much easier starting with a x0-xF, those are blocks of 16... just remember 00 is not allowed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading my Pixie16 config Step by Step stickied at the top of the General Hardware section would really help you. When I replied about the copy paste I had seen your earlier post “got it” so I assumed you had your pixies set up Correctly. The Step by Step explains everything to you in easy to follow instructions. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much easier for me to manage and less change of accidentally overlapping things Edited December 3, 2018 by Richard Hamilton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Everyone must remember that Pixies use the same number of IDs as they have ports, instill that in your brains and you will prevent overlap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gina Burns Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Ok i have changed the id and it is only turning half the box on. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
