LOR not talking to ECG-P12S

[christmas chris]

So I watched Andy's video for setup, but my pixel tree does nothing when the sequence runs. I can run the test pattern, get into the config and setup my strings, but nothing when run through the sequencer or my show.

 

Pease Help???

Can you give more detail around the configuring you have done from LOR?  Did you setup the network?  Did you create your own sequence or buy from someone?  Etc...

1. As nmiller0113 mentioned, make sure you set up the network in the LOR NETWORK CONFIGURATION app.

2. Make sure you have LOR CONTROL PANEL started. This starts the DMX listener which you need to talk to E1.31

3. Make sure you have CONTROL LIGHTS checked in your sequences.

 

That "should" get you connected. When the listener fires up after starting control panel, you will see where it negotiates communication with the DMX controller (j1Sys)

Also - are you using unicast or multicast? If you launch the LOR controller panel do you see messages in the black box coming up stating connection to the Universe? And does your Universe setup match?

I have both the P12S and the P2 running...

Oh - one other thing: the SE needs a LOR dongle plugged in and configured. Without it it will not put out E1.31...

No this is not true. I ran E1.31 for about 3 months during testing and never had a USB485 plugged in. The correct statement is, If you have the LOR network settings in the program, the Control Lights will not stay checked. In essence the above statement would be true in that case.

 

There are 2 ways around this, 1.) plug in the USB485, 2.) take out LOR network settings during testing (but remember to put them back at showtime) and just have the DMX settings configured.

 

Now, if you're trying to run your show, Yes, Of course, have the dongle plugged in
