zanclus Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I finally got my E682 to work with my computer without having to use my home network. So I plug a few strands of pixels Run the test program and they all light up as they should. Since I have only 4 strands of Pixels this season I plugged each strand into its own cluster using the 1st plug in each. I set the output as only 1 strand per cluster. I gave each strand / cluster its own universe and set the starting addresses to 1 for each universe. In LOR I set up the 4 universes under the advanced tab using the correct ip for the controller(192.168.1.206) I have the 4 universes sequenced for the correct number of Pixels and channel numbers. When I run the sequence the only strand that lights is Universe 1. Am I doing something wrong or missing anything? The V4 firmware seems to be straight forward but one never knows........

bobschm Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Do test sequences work on all four strings and universes? That's where I'd start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanclus Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 The test sequences on the E682 page work all strands light up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Can you post a screen shot of the E682 config page. Also your network config page in SE. There are several of us that are pretty good with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k6ccc Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Hate to tell you that, but that is almost unreadable. Please do it as a graphic screen capture. If you don't know how, press the print screen key which will save the graphic into your clipboard. Then open Paint and do a paste and then you can crop as needed and save the file. Do you have the additional universes defined in the network configuration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougd Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Everything looks configured ok from what I can see. Only obvious question that I can see is your pixels plugged in to the first output of all 4 groups 1-1, 2-1, 3-1 and 4-1?Well I re-read your post again and you clearly say you did that.

plasmadrive Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Why do you have univ 2 set up on 192.168.2.206 in the LOR network config? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanclus Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 Why do you have univ 2 set up on 192.168.2.206 in the LOR network config? That is what I just noticed (fat fingers and I didn't noticed) when I changer it to 192.168.1.206 everything started to work correctly Thanks!!!!!!!I am finding out it usually is something simple that can drive one crazy Lmao....

k6ccc Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Glad you got it working. I also noted in the E682 config that the strings are different types and lengths of strings. Just making sure that is correct. It could very well be. Also note that since the strings on output 1-1 and 2-1 are the same, they can easily be on the same cluster. The string on output 3-1 is the same type, but a longer length. Therefore, it could also be on the same cluster as the first two strings, although you would have to set the cluster to 160 pixels for the string length. This would "waste" some addresses on the what would be pixels 141 to 160 on the other two strings, but that really does not cause a problem. That is really only an issue on hardware that will not support having a string span universes - not an issue with the E682. The last string shown on output 4-1 would need to be on a separate cluster because it's a different pixel type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zanclus Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 I set t he strings on there own cluster because I only have the 4 this season and my sequences were programmed for 4 different universes. I will change next season. I had the same last year but was using the HolidayCoro Tinypix controllers which I decided not to use because of programming issues... I cnat get the programming cables to last more than one use. For some reason they keep blowing out no matter what computer I use them on.I have tried 4 different cables and same thing happens so I will use the Tinypix someplace else in the future.Thanks everyone for the eyes.
