mavrick331 Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 I added a cmb24d to my 3 existing controllers. In hardware when I refresh, It only sees the 3 controllers who's unit ID's are 1,2 and 3 When I test the lights, all come on along with 5 of the 8 RGB strands (I believe the 3 off are a different issue) I connected the CMB24D directly to the PC without the 3 controllers and re-scanned... CMB shows up as "01-Unknown device???" I changed the dip switch to set the unit ID to 4, re-scanned and it shows up as "04-Unknown device???" Happy Thanksgiving All! Rick
mavrick331 Posted November 26, 2015 Author Posted November 26, 2015 I just re-scanned with all 4, It now shows up with all 4 listed, but cmb still shown as "04-Unknown device???" but it appears to allowing me to control it individually. Can I just run with "04-Unknown device???"
Santas Helper Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Try it. I've added many controllers to my display and never touch the Hardware Utility. Everything works just fine. For me anyway.
PhilMassey Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 If I remember correctly, and that's questionable, earlier vertions of the software don't have the correct description for the CMB24. Should still work fine though.
larryk5 Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Yes! it's only a description, it should work fine!
CLD Kevin Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Are you running S3? I believe 3.10 and earlier the CMB24D showed up as "Unknown". Ungraded to the latest S3 and will recognize it. But will still work if you don't want to upgrade.
mavrick331 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 I may to upgrade, I can't test RGB in the hardware console. All I read is LOR advanced hardware v3.9.0 Where can I find the software version? If I need to upgrade, what do I need to select for an upgrade? Thanks in advance... Rick
mavrick331 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 To clarify, I have 8 strands, 5 work. One has a bad solder joints, the other 2 work fine when connected to any of the 5 working leads. My thought was that I have connection issues but I moved them on the board to test...they work on existing (working) ports on the board. It seems to me that there should be a way to test each strand by itself...I cannot do that.
