Brian Mitchell Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Go to the LOR website and download and install the latest hardware utility update and install it. That should cure the problem of unknown devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Honestly, I've never used the simple show builder. Always built them with the regular show builder.What, exactly, are you trying to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownTown Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Are you sure you're looking in the correct folder for your files? I know I have LOR installed on 2 PCs and the files are in two different paths. Make sure you're navigating to the correct folder to select the files.D.T.

TomD Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I have never used the Simple Show Builder before, so I downloaded it and installed it. I then created a couple of simple sequences and saved them as 16 channel sequences. When I opened the Show Builder, it didn't see the sequences until I selected "all sequences" instead of the 16 channel or 32 channel options. As soon as I did, it found them. The "Sequences" folder is not in my Light-O-Rama program folder. It is under the "Documents and Settings" folder. My guess is that you either have to select "all sequences" or change where you have your sequences saved. I don't see a way to change where the simple show builder is looking for those sequences. Until I play with it some more, that's the best I can offer you. To be honest, I think most people are just using the "Show Editor". It's really pretty simple to use.

TomD Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Have you gone through the LOR troubleshooting page on the support page? Do you have a voltage meter to check the voltage levels shown on the troubleshooting page. I don't have any other answers for you yet. I've just finished my first LOR board and haven't hooked it up to test it yet, so I'm just tossing out ideas that I would try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
