Problem 3rd time connection

[Guest guest]

Unknown device suddenly started to appear.

Short blink followed by long blink.

Autoconfig "Found controller on Port com1"

Test: nothing happened.

Was working for the first two times.

Playing the Musical Sequencer doesn't have any effect, light are off all the time.

I bought this unit for about 550$ Canadian and this is Christmas season and I am very disappointed.



Thanks for the help, unit never used just tested twice, every think was fine, third test failed, tried it on two other PC's, same problem” Unknown Device", "Found one Unit"

I can't get it.

Please provide more details. USB serial port or RS232. Does it show in hardware list (for USB device)? Where is this short blink long blink? Can you see the units with hardware program?

If I press Autoconfig, it tells me found one unit, but when I click refresh, it says "Unknown Device???", and nothing works.

Have you updated the hardware utility software? you can go to lightorama site to get the update to download. You should have I believe 1.5.10 rev

[Guest guest]

The first thing you should try is a reset:

1. Turn off power to the 1602 and disconnect the Cat5

2. Set rotary switches to 0 - 0

3. Turn on power for 5 secs.

4. Power off.

5. Reset rotary switch to desired number

6. Turn on power and hook up Cat5

Now try Referesh in the Hardware Editor. See if this doesn't solve your problem.

The short blink long blink I have never seen. Did you try to reload the firmware in the controller?

How would I know what version I have?

I never downloaded any version , only the demo one, before I bought the package.

Also I will try to reset it as was adviced.

I left my PS3 which I was lucky to get one to spend must of my time on this controler, it is amazing, I kept it till this season to try it, was very busy.

Thank you kindly for the assistant.

Will let you know. God Bless.

How do I do the update?

There is no file associated with the unit on the website, sorry if I was mistaken.

Did you uninstall the demo version before you installed the new version you purchased. I remember reading that you may needed to do that or you may have problems.

[Guest guest]

I followed the reset procedure as was adviced

Thanks kindly, it worked.Merry Christmas to all of you.

One more thing, I created a musical sequence, Carol of Bells, I will try it and let you know if it worked.



Thank you.
