nathansele Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Ok so this is my first post so y'all will have to bare with me..Anyways, this year is my second year using lor. last year I only had 16 channles but this year I'm having 48. So that means i have 3 three CTB16PCg3's. Earlier this week I recieved my 2 new ones in the mail so I set the unit id's on hardware utility and tested all the channles on the 2 new controllers that I bought. and they all worked and my lights lit up fine.. but when i go to play a sequence on, only unit id's 1 and 2 work. My controller with the unit id of 3 wont play a sequence. Even though all three of the CTB16PC's have the solid green light so i know that they are talking to the computer. ive even tried switching the unit id's on the controllers to see if it was just a bad controller but still only the number 3 unit id would not work when a sequence was playing.. Ive tried all I could think of so hopefully one of y'all can help me out with this. And thanks ahead of time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wbottomley Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 A couple of things. Do they all have different ID's? What's your software license level? Have you made sure the channel config is programmed right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitePlainsNY Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 It's probably like wbottomley mentioned - your licence level can only support 2 controllers (Basic). You need one of these license levels to have more than 2 controllers; Basic Plus, Standard, or Advanced. You can compare them here, http://www.lightorama.com/ShowtimeSoftwareSuite.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Fischer Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I agree that it's most likely the license level.y'all will have to bare with me..Sorry, I think I'll keep my clothes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathansele Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Yes I am using different id numbers (1, 2, and 3). and I have checked to make sure that my channel configuration is correct. But it sounds like that it is my lisence level that is the problem. I have the basic so I guess thats why I am only getting a resoponce from 2 controllers. It looks like the Basic Plus shoud do the trick! I'll try that and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 What the heck is going on. The ops post is a carbon copy of one that was posted a week ago. And the answers are basically the same that was posted a week ago also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathansele Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 I upgraded to the Basic Plus and all 3 controllers work great now. I just didnt realize there was a limited number of controllers you could use on just the basic. But I appreciate the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Simmons Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) ... there are plenty of folks hear happy to help...And there might even be folks who don't "hear" happy who are willing to help.Too bad they haven't yet come to see me, though. I could fit them with a pair of today's incredible hearing aids and I guarantee they WOULD indeed "hear" happy.
