plasmadrive Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I ran shimmer a lot this year on my LED window frames. I used the LOR IDMX and it worked flawlessly.. as far as I could tell. I did get some minor timing issues when I went to S3 3.9 though... at least I thought I did.. but no one could tell. Seemed to me like it was tens of miliseconds behind where it was with 3.8. Might have been in my head, but I don't think it was... LOL Even the voices told me I was right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmoore Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Ok finally wa able to spend so more time on this. I did have some wiring issues( thought I was being careful) and was able to fix them but still have an issue that I think I know where problem is. Now when I run the sequences they work fine as long as I have no twinkle or shimmer go to them, when I do that it seems to throw off the response by the lights by 1 channel more than the usb485b already does. I'm thinking the usb485 is the culprit here. Termination rarely makes a difference excluding rare situations (LOR doesn't even use it). The tools you need are a scope (to see if there is some sort of interference) and/or a digital logic analyzer (for decoding the DMX packets to see if the source of the problem is on the output side). Here are some resources that might help: http://www.holidaycoro.com/kb_results.asp?ID=17 http://blog.holidaycoro.com/2013/03/dmx-lor-protocols-and-rs-485.html Maybe that helps...
