saxon Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 It would seem you are in a test pattern on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonoma Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) does the 27 chan. board have dip-switches? If so make sure #10 is off that switch is for testing only. and are you sure the board is addressed properly?

kiwixmas Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 the dip switch no. 10 is in the off and lights all go when in the on position also wondering whether i reset board back to factory setting ( if this is possible) and start again thanks for replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Laff Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Did you setup the board in the sequence network preference as a universe and the device as dmx . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstorms Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 So the lights are coming on, but not how you expected. What are the lights doing? Are they out of time, wrong color, wrong lights are coming on? Could also be how you have your lights wired up to your controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
