Bestmarty Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 SO I have a CMB24D controller I tested it out in the Hardware Utility and was able to cycle through all the channels just fine, I set the Unit ID to 8 and move onto the Sequencer I start making a new animation to test out the various color cycles but when I press play the the lights wont be controlled. The Controller's indicator light shows that it is getting a signal from the computer the comm port is not in use by anything else the device I added in the sequencer was set as the CMB24D with the Unit ID of 8 The sequencer can control the standard 16 channel AC controller I have as well just fine I feel like I am overlooking a minor detail in some preference or setting, I have already checked every online tutorial and forum post I can find as well as contacted Tech support to no avail Any Ideas?
steve synek Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Did you set the CMB24 unit id by using the dip switches like required. If not, I think it resets itself to unit 1. Did you check the box in SE to control lights?
Bestmarty Posted December 13, 2016 Author Posted December 13, 2016 Yes the ID is set via the dip switches and appears in the Hardware utility as Unit 8 And yes the control lights option in the SE is enabled
Dennis Laff Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 how do you have your channels setup in sequencer as rgb or dmx

Bestmarty Posted December 13, 2016 Author Posted December 13, 2016 Just now, Dennis Laff said: What level license do you have. Basic Plus, The latest Version
Dennis Laff Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 You should check with light o Rama I think you need to upgrade for RGB's.
Mr. P Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 A CMB24 will work with a Basic Plus license, how many controllers are you running? I ask because you set the unit id as 8 and a Basic Plus license can do up to four controllers.

I changed the number to 2 and now it works perfectly, so apparently it's not 4 controllers it's literally just unit 1-4 Thank you everyone for the help, hopefully I'll get better at this and be able to help others in the future 1
