bcdmahn Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Hi all,I have spent the past 3 hours trying to figure this out and am having no luck.I just recently purchased a Showtime 16 Channel starter package w/ wireless pair.Followed the step by step directions and had no issues at all.Hardware Utility finds my controller and the test works fine. The sequences I have created are assigned to the controller so that base is covered. "Play Lights" is checked and under preferences the correct "COMM" is selected.When I'm running the hardware utility I get the lil "ELL" logo saying I have a wireless connection and the LOR box is a steady RED while the light are flickering.I attempt to run a sequence and I get a blinking RED.I go back into the hardware utility and I have to start all over doing the "refresh" to find my controllers.What's the lights off button for in the hardware utility? Am I missing one crucial step to make it light on or something?Any ideas why the lights work fine in test mode but when I start any sequence to include the LOR sample and LOR Chase I get nutting?Very frustrating to say the least:(Thanks in advance.....I spent the past two week sequencing thinking I was good to go on the communication connection to find out Im dead in the water:(Tombcdmahn@gci.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Mitchell Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Have you assigned all your channels in your sequence to the right controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcdmahn Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Yup and just reverified. I also tried resetting the controller by unplugging and changing the dial for the unit ID's and then repluggin.Im wondering if the wireless pairs have something to do with it? I just cant see why it works fine in test mode but once you try a sequence I get the big zippo.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore60 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 What about trying direct cable first. Then use the wireless.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt tyndall Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Make sure that your hardware panel is closed before you try and play a sequence. I don't think you can play a sequence when the panel is open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcdmahn Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 It's the damdest thing.....I took the wireless pair out of the equation and ran pure cable and everything works fine.I really dont want to be drilling a hole in the side of my house for the CAT 5 to run:(. I saw that button firmware for the wireless transmitter? Think I outta try it?Thanks,TomBTW the transmitters work great while running the hardware utility.

bcdmahn Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 *shrug*Gremilins are definitely in this box.......I broke it all down and ran straight cable and worked just fine. Disconnected and tried going wireless and it worked just fine in the office??? I redisconnected and tried it in the garage with my mini-tree army and it works just fine also???Thanks for the replies.......hopefully this bug is quashed because I have no idea what I did to fix it.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
