jeff bush Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Hoping this will be a quick answer for someone. Just getting into RGB smart and dumd and here is the problem. I have tested my SanDevice E682 and all works great on output 1.1 which is all i have been testing with. Today I add another 2811 strip to output 1.2 and 1.3 and create a short test sequence with 510 RGB channels and run it. I have it set up with a simple chase from channel 1-150 and start another chase from channel 151-300 then start another chase from 301-450 and only have the strip on output 1.1 working, nothing on the other 2. Attached is a pic of my configuration is someone can help. Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff bush Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 May be the problem. I can change it to 2811 and see what happens Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixnight Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 The length of pixels need to change to 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff bush Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Sorry, the picture I posted was an earlier picture. I had it changed to 2811. Figured out before the reply to change to 50, but thanks mixnight and others for the help. Merry Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff bush Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 I have attached my current configuration. Still having heck!! Call me a dumbie but I must be missing something and am ready to throw something! I am lost on the outputs and programming them. I have 8 strands plugged in, first 3 are working great, after that, the others are not working as I programmed them. Have tried running the universes continuous, didn't work.This is my latest try... output 1.1 channels 1-150 universe 1output 1.2 channels 151-300 universe 1output 1.3 channels 301-450 universe 1output 1.4 channels 1-198 universe 2output 2.1 channels 199-396 universe 2output 2.2 channels 397-471 universe 2output 2.3 channels 1-75 universe 3output 2.4 channels 76-150 universe 3output 3.1 channels 151-225 universe 3output 3.2 channels 1-75 universe 4output 3.3 channels 76-150 universe 4output 3.4 channels 151-225 universe 4output 4.1 channels 1-75 universe 5output 4.2 channels 76-150 universe 5output 4.3 channels 151-225 universe 5output 4.4 channels 1-150 universe 6 I may be why off base as I am just learning RGB smart. Please help Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Boyd Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) Do you have the DMX listener up and running? (Double click on the LOR Control Panel if not) Is the Universes set up this way on the LOR DMX Tab? Is control lights checked and staying checked in the sequence editor? These are the three most common mistakes made when starting E1.31 Next,Is the address for the 682 a force IP or is that what you set it to?

jeff bush Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Do you have the DMX listener up and running? (Double click on the LOR Control Panel if not)YesIs the Universes set up this way on the LOR DMX Tab?Yes, I have 9 set up and runningIs control lights checked and staying checked in the sequence editor?YesThese are the three most common mistakes made when starting E1.31Next,Is the address for the 682 a force IP or is that what you set it to?Yes, it was a force IPDoes the configuration look ok or is it incorrect?As I say, the first 3 strands which is universe 1, channel 1 thru 450 work great, it is after those when I am confused I guess on the outputs and how to program them because what I thought in my little mind to be correct is apparently not.

mfrost55 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 If the screenshot you attached is the current configuration then you have overlap in your channels. For bank #1 you show 4 outputs in use, each 50 pixels long. You start at universe #1 channel #1 and that ends at universe #2 channel #90. But then for bank 2 you start at universe #2 channel #1. Universe #2 channel #1 through #90 are configured in both banks. You either need to start bank #2 at universe #2 channel #91 or skip to universe #3 channel #1.

jeff bush Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Does this look correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff bush Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Ran another test with the updated configuration. 1 thru 3 are still good, the others work but have a blue pixel come on and 2 strips and a red pixel that comes on and stays on! Well crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfrost55 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 That looks good to me. Now you need to make sure the pixels are configured in SE the same way they are configured here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff bush Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Ok thanks. Why is it ending at 90 on each? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfrost55 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 You have 4 50 pixel strips defined for each bank, that is 200 pixels or 600 channels. A universe is 512 channels but we can only work in groups of 3 so we do not use channels 511 and 512. So that give you 510 channels in univers 1 so we need an additional 90 channels from universe 2 to get the 600 channels for the 1st bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
