jimswinder Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) Good Grief..This hobby is FRUSTRATING!!! LOL Have 3 controllers for my Mega Tree (10, 11 and 12). I can get them to work with the Hardware Utility, but not with the sequencer. When I run my "ALL ON" test sequence, my other lights come on, but not the Mega Tree.Checked and double checked to make sure they are addressed correctly (10, 11 and 12). What SIMPLE thing am I missing??? How after 5 seasons, do I still have these annoying problems!!! ARRRRRGH!!! EDIT: Ran VERIFIER, found nothing special...

Marty Spain Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hi there! You said you setup the addresses that's good. Did you setup each channel on for the right controllers in the sequence editor? Maybe I missed someone else mentioning this , but it is a common error, I have done this when making changes with controllers. Each channel , where you change color settings, identify description of the channel etc... Also correct device and controller number.

kiplorenzo Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Sometimes Like Winders (Windows) it just needs a power off restart... I've had issues this year also...but also jumped channels and lights by 100 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgrant Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Intermittent problems are always the worst. You might have lost a connection in the RS485 daisy chain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgrant Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Ahh but then again, it might still be a problem. I just went through one controller that was reporting some of the time to the HWU and sometimes not. It wasn't taking any commands at all though. It was bent finger wires on both of the RJ45 connectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
