Christmas_time_karl_UK Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 When programming manually 25 pixel mode R G B. Unit 12 CCR affects Unit 11 CCR.Unit 11 works fine until a sequence is added into the frame work for Unit 12 CCR.Unit 10 CCR is unaffected.Please can someone help? I am baffled.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas_time_karl_UK Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 I tried to change the Unit ID's to space them apart and now have lost 2 of the units!!!? Help please =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Connect to each unit seperately. This means that you only have one unit on the comm cable. Connect to it and confirm it's address. Correct as needed.Hope this helps.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas_time_karl_UK Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 ok will do this and my other problem:When programming manually 25 pixel mode R G B. Unit 12 CCR affects Unit 11 CCR.Unit 11 works fine until a sequence is added into the frame work for Unit 12 CCR.Unit 10 CCR is unaffectedMany many thanks by the way!

Darryl Lambert Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Another thing to check is that you have the proper channel assignments particularly unit id's for the two CCR's that are affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas_time_karl_UK Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 ok have reset it all have just the CCRS together at momment and still same results so its not my 2x 16 channel boards messing it up and their ids are 1 and 2.The ccrs are now 6, 8 and 10 IdsAnd still get lights flashing on Id#6 (Replicated of ID#8) when they shoudlnt be!

Christmas_time_karl_UK Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 I made a manual sequence, got each CCR set to 25 pixels and im controling 75 channels per a CCR or R G B.My unit #08 interferes with #06#06 is fine and #10 is also fine.Whats going on!?

LightORamaJohn Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 If they are set in Legacy Unit ID mode, the unit IDs will overlap since they are taking 6 consecutive unit IDs each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas_time_karl_UK Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Thanks for your reply john,What is legacy mode and how can I stop this?Also my CCR #10 when its running the LOR demo sequence, on the jumps from end to end and to centre of controller some pixels are missing?Again many thanks for this john, very under pressure as still have to sequence these suckers in to some shows and not sure if to go manual or macro as I am not sure about how to manipulate the macros?!

Duke Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 If possible, can you assign ID's such as 10, 20, 30 respectively?Might eliminate the overlap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas_time_karl_UK Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 I dont think that makes a difference? I have already spaced them out by 2. I think its to do with this legacy business which I am waiting to hear back about.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl Lambert Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 From reading some of these posts it sounds like your CCR is in legacy mode otherwise you would of known what the term means and how to change it.To change it to normal mode read page 12 http://lightorama.com/Documents/CR150D_Man_Web.pdfHope this helps!Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already spaced them out by 2.Yes, but if the units are in legacy mode, they will take 6 IDs each - you only have them spaced out by 2, so they will be overlapping.Regards,Alan.

Christmas_time_karl_UK Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 I could see nothing about legacy mode on page 12....what is it and whats difference between legacy and normal mode?Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some other useful information in the manual when you get a few minutes that you should look over page 24 :CaveatsPage 12 shows you how to navigate to the CCR configure screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas_time_karl_UK Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Hey thanks for that,Im not going to lie, I dont actually know what it all means....ie what are the +ves and -ves of legacy or normal mode and I dont even know what the word cavet means either let alone the stuff its talking about! Would somone be kind enough to give me some answers etc in laymans terms?Many thanksKarl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl Lambert Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Where to start....Because the CCR has up to 157 channels ( 50 red, 50 green, 50 blue + 7 macros ) LOR had to give you a way control these 157 channels either by setting the CCR in legacy which means that it will have 10 unit id's ( providing your resolution is set to 50, this is the way most will use it IMO ) Example unit #1 controls the first 16 channels- the first 6 red LEDs, the first 5 green LEDs, and the first 5 blue LEDs. unit #2 controls the next 16 channels 5 red LEDs, 6 green LEDs, 5 blue. This continues until unit #10 and all 50 red,green and blue LEDs have there own channel. Also on unit #10 the seven macro channels are there starting at unit#10 channel #7 through channel #13. Channels 14-16 are spare for future use.Or you can use the CCR in normal mode which means that the CCR gets one unit id number and has 157 channels. Each channel for the 50 red,green, and blue LEDs + 7 macros.As for pros and cons of each there really isn't any. They both control the CCR. It's just personal preference. I prefer normal because to me it's easier to have one unit id than having 10. ( Less chance for mistakes on channel assignments ) but that's just my opinion.Now for caveatMain Entry: ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas_time_karl_UK Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 brilliant, thanks.Ill take them all of legacy I think and go normal =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melwelch Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 This might be off topic but I hope it will help..If you forget the macros and program each of the 150 channels you get more control of the CCR. The best part you do not have to learn anything new... AND IT IS EASY.Program the channels just like we have always done. In one day I went from What the heck am I going to program the CCR (look at past posts) to it being the main attraction in my display... People for some reason think having macros makes it easy... Not so. Complicates the sequencing process. Wait till you are trying to verify the cells that have a value of 1. These little bugaboos can be tedious...Here are some links:How to with samples....http://christmascarolina.com/forums/showthread.php?t=526Demo videos:http://www.vimeo.com/7879484http://www.vimeo.com/7879231http://www.vimeo.com/7878857http://www.vimeo.com/7878683The star I made.. I plan to tweek the sequences so each point of the star ia like a mini leaping arches. And I have 5 of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
