Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Do you think it would be any harder than putting together a TV Transmitter kit from Ramsey? If you have any details I would be interested.Thanks,Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Jonathan, I have put similar boards together and I have also put together several Ramsey kits. I would almost guarantee, that if you can put a Ramsey kit together, you can put one of Dan's boards together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Thanks! Right after I posted, I found the brand new LOR faqs on the LOR site. Kudos to that! I just wanted to make sure the requirements applied to LOR II as well. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I'm planning on purchasing LOR this year. One thing that I have a question about is the connection from the computer to the LOR equipment. Is there a wire from the computer connected to LOR or is this a wireless connection. I figure I can get an easier answer here than searching for the answer myself.On a side note. I am very impressed with this forum. Everyone here is very helpful and eager to tell what they know. I don't get the feeling that people here just want to make there display better than everyone else but that they want to help. Its refreshing for someone like me who is new to all this.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Matt, You will be able to do either. Presently we use a single cat-5 or telephone cable that goes from the computer to the controllers. LOR is coming out with a wireless connection, along with LOR II. So basically, it will be whatever meets your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Wireless connector (Easy Light Linker) – This new unit was successfully beta tested last season. This RF unit was custom designed to work in a LOR network to provide wireless connectivity between LOR network components. You can use wireless to get out of the house without any holes! … One RF unit can drive any number of connected LOR controllers or you can put a RF unit on each unit. Coordinate the lights inside and out side your house without wires. (Available in our April sale)Quoted from the start of this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOWEVER you may need to upgrade to WIN98SE... I will check but I do not believe we can run on "plain" WIN98 anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All existing LOR controllers will be upgraded to this new protocol free of charge.I'm guessing these will be upgraded using a software update applied by the user since it would be chaotic having customers send in their devices for upgrading. Is that correct?Hope v.2 is coming out soon so we can get some practice before the season hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything will be user upgradeable, except for some very old 8 channel controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 This thread hasnt been bumped in a while so I just wanted to ask what the status of LORII software. I have Version 1.5.0 of the Seq Editior. Is this the absolute latest version at this time? I just want to be sure I have cutting edge software to work with when setting things up.Thanks!Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Yep. Nobody knows when LOR II is gonna be released...except for the LOR staff...Even if it does come out before most of us start our light shows...I'm guessing not many people are going to use it until next Christmas. I hope it doesn't come out until after christmas...because I do not need anymore problems and anymore stuff to worry about than I already have. A lot of improvements are going into the sequence editor, and since many of us have our sequencing done or close to being done, we aren't going to change it 2 days before the show and encounter a lot of problems. You do have the lastest version of LOR's software.Hope that helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Thank you for your reply. I agree, I wouldnt want to go changing things with the Sequences weeks before showtime. Im sure the software will go thru quite a beta phase before it goes main stream. Cant wait to see what they cook up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct about the beta testing....One of the best things about LOR II (for current LOR users) is that it is free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
