Ron Amedee Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Hi everyoneReceived my LOR1602W starter package on friday Jan. 7 2011. Up and running 2 hours later ! Had an LSU football party at the house and wanted to WOW the guest on the gazebo since it was a night game. I had downloaded and sequenced 5 songs on 16 channels...took a day a piece. That went off without a hitch.Shut down the show and ran the hardware utility to just run the slider function at 50 per cent for mood lighting and get a cannot connect to port: in use. The LOR show was disabled and still can not get the hardware utility to work in test or anything. I can enable shows and everything runs fine.As i will be using my controller year round as mood lighting i really would like to just run an all on at 50 percent without having to write a seqence. It would be nice to be able to fade up or downdepending on conditions.Thanks
displaysinmotion_will Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 only one program can be in use at a time, disable the shows then refresh the com port on the hardware utility. if you still get the error unplug the usb cord from the computer then reinsert all should fine at that point. just make sure before you open the hardware utility the lor bulb next to the clock is red
Ron Amedee Posted January 9, 2011 Author Posted January 9, 2011 Thanks will try that, Thought i had already but will try again. Device manager threw the controller on comm 20 for some reason. Will try with my Keyspan USB HS adapter i can force it to any port.
cmoore60 Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Hardware utility will not recognize a comm port about like 14. I may be wrong on the exact number there. But I know 20 is not obtainable with the hardware utility. Chuck

The sequence editor can go higher.You should be able to change the port number to a lower value in the device manager.Dan
Ron Amedee Posted January 10, 2011 Author Posted January 10, 2011 Thanks Guys !!!Switched the comm port in device manager now utilities and sequencing are working.
Ron Amedee Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 Anyone else have this problem... Open device manager..click on hardware..select com ports..Find USB device..Click properties...Change port to one that is unused...Below comm 14 and BAMM !!! Thanks for the help !!!!
