dl20415 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 This year I am adding another pixel tree. I want them both doing the same thing. Last years tree was a 360 16 string tree. I'm adding a 180 16 string tree, all LOR pixel controllers. Can I Id the new controllers the same as the others, and run the two trees with the same ids?

Lee T. Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Is there a way to check the configuration of the CCP unit once it has been added to the sequence editor? I have everything programmed but don't know if I flipped the first string to put the number "1" at the far left. Thanks from an "Almost Newbie."

dgrant Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I think the only thing you might have to insure matches both trees, the sequence channelization to the hardware of both trees. As long as both are wired identically with controllers that work identically or similar, you probably won't have any issues. What I'm speaking of is insuring the each pixel on each tree, is in the same hardware location on both, in relation to the SE. I'm doing two pixel trees this year and due to other circumstances, I'm using more than one type of controller. This creates issues with programming the SE. I'm also using different types of strips/nodes on both so that too created a complexity. If both of your trees are identical, it shouldn't be an issue although, having two controllers with the same IP address...not sure that will fly but I'm very much a newbie so I don't know. I haven't seen LOR's pixel controller yet so not sure if it will allow this or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethernet doesn't work like RS485. Edited June 21, 2015 by EmmienLightFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrant Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I was pretty sure they would not work like that and the OP did say, pixel controllers, not AC controllers. Now maybe LOR's new pixel controller that hasn't gotten out yet, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k6ccc Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 The original poster asked about doing this with CCPs. Assuming he is really talking about LOR CCPs, there is no problem with having two sets with duplicated IDs. If he is asking about E1.31 pixel controllers, it still could be done by using multicast rather than unicast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
