Steve Ott Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I am playing with RGB. I am only outputting onto an Enttec pro with no LOR controllers hooked up. I am getting the correct colors, and all commands, ie fades, blends, etc., are working correctly on the RGB ribbon.The issue I am having is: when I hit the play button, I then have to go to the play menu and hit control lights. The control lights feature does not stay checked, I have to check this every time I want to play any sequence or I get no lights. If the sequence loops, then it stays checked, but when sequence stops, and I restart it, I have to recheck the control lights function.Am I missing something? I know it cannot be normal for the control lights feature to uncheck itself?I am using S3 Advanced with 2 CCR Superstar. Thanks for your replies.

Denis Chaput Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 If you check the control lights feature it should stay checked on until you uncheck . Try doing a sve before you close the editor and try to reopen it and see if it stays checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Roberson Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 If you have a LOR USB/rs485 converter try hooking it up to your computer also and see if the control lights will stay checked. You would not need to have any LOR controllers hooked to it.I know in the past if I did not have it hooked to the computer control lights would not stay checked. Perhaps the same thing is happening even though you have a Enttec pro hooked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I plugged in a USB 485, then started S3, the control lights option was checked, and it stays checked now!Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Childers Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 This post finally resolve the last of my problems trying to get DMX to work with LOR. I am posting because this was the fix to my problem, but with a twist. I have 4 485 adapters configured on COM 3, 4, 5, and 6. I plugged one it, but it still kept switching "Control Lights" off. I had to unconfigure 3 of them, and just leave one in place, since I only had one plugged in. That finally fixed it. I have one computer running the show, and another I work from. The one I was working / testing from did not have the 485's plugged in, and I only had two spare 485's. You are right, this was a huge annoyance.
