Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 If that's what fixed it, be sure to save the sequence, then export the channel configuration so you can import the configurations into all your sequences... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 And you assigned every channel in your sequence editor to the controllers?To me, it really sounds like a bad connection on the USB adapter. Either that or a bad wire going to the controller... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 well, I just ran back and read your original post. it looks like the controller is connecting, but then disconnects when you open your hardware. Are you getting any error messages? Like "Comm port 4 is currently being used" or anything like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 do you happen to have another cat5 cable to switch out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Am I correct in saying that when I hit play in the sequence editor, I should see the lights go on (I have it set for channel 1 to go on for two seconds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Well, if it's steady, that means that it's connected to the PC. But, it's either 1. Not getting a good signal, or 2. Theres something wrong with the hardware utility.I'm leaning towards the first... Bad wire or loose connection at the adapter. Make sure that thing isn't too loose... I breathe wrong on mine and my controllers disconnect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Turn the power off to your controller.Turn the rotary switches to 00.Turn the power on for 10 seconds.Turn the power off.Turn the rotary switches back to 01.Power up and refresh - see if it finds the controller.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I was leaning toward a connection issue also but with two different cables and a solid led?The controller may need to be reset after all the jacking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
