indi Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Getting ready to add a Pixie 8 and a Pixie 16. I need to and a USB hub. The question I have is: If I connect the hub to the computer USB (comm 3) will the 4 outputs on the hub all be comm 3 ? Another question: If I have 8 other controller on comm3 will adding to it with hub mess things up? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDucks Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 no, and please stop thinking in COM# for USB, You are working with LOR Network names for all sequnces. At some point, you will use the network utility to map Current COM# > LOR Network. A USB Hub is simple, it does not act like anything but a Hub, It is the LOR adapter that calls for a COM# assignment when it connects. 💡 I suggest you Mark the adapter with The LOR name. it will normally get the same assignment,whichever USB port it ends up on for THAT PC)0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indi Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Thanks for the help. I am technology challenged. I don't even know why I keep doing this. At 75 years old it's getting hard to remember things and adding new things to a show I might not be able to set up this year away.LOL!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, I am a few months from the big 75 (but then, I have always done electronics from a time I could hold a soldering iron) One eye gone wacky and poor balance are keeping me on the ground, and really put a crimp into my fabricating of things (large, spinning blades are a serious NO!)

indi Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 I understand Ducks. I wanted to do eave lights. The wife won't let me on a ladder now. I fell last year a broke an ankle and back. So I had a few ports open on my Pixcon16 so I had some custom trim made and zip tied the pixel ribbons to the trims and had to hire a crew to install them. I mounted them on my freeze board, so they will never come down and should be weather protected. So if I can reach them from the ground it's not going to happen. Again thank you for the information.
