bbrescia Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Sorry if this has been asked before - no time to go through all the threads... I have 4 LOR AC controllers I wish to use in DMX mode with the LOR dongle. The 4 LOR AC controllers show up fine in LOR Hardware Utility and control the light strings correctly BUT only in LOR Hardware Utility. In my sequence, only the first 2 controllers respond, while LOR AC controllers 3 and 4 have no response at all. The sequence has the channel devices configured as "DMX Universe" and the channels sequentially numbered. For example, LOR AC Controller Unit 1 has DMX channels 1-16, LOR AC controller has DMX channels 17-32, etc. My network preferences in LOR lists COMM3 at 57.6K and shows the LOR dongle for Universe 1.
Dennis Laff Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 If you use your lor controllers in the dmx mode the unit I'ds have to be converted to dmx I'd'S controller 1 is 1. Controller 2. Will be dmx address #17. Controller 3 in dmx will be#33 id controller 4 will be dmx #49.
bbrescia Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 Hi Dennis - I have done that - still no result. Perhaps one of my controllers is toes up...
Dennis Laff Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Did you put these controllers as dmx in network preferences
Dennis Laff Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Check all the controllers for what firmware is running on these controllers in DMX firmware needs to be 4.20 or higher. You should also try using a DMX dongle not the lor USB 485 1
bbrescia Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 Hi Dennis - yes, I placed them in DMX in network prefs - it recognized the LOR 485 dongle. Right now I don't have another DMX dongle to test with. These are Gen 3 controllers so the latest firmware is 1.08. Bob
Dennis Laff Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Update the firmware in the hardware utility
