CONNECTING TWO PIXIE 16's

[Moirchristmaslights]

How do I join two Pixie 16 controllers together.

I can find them one at a time with the hardware utility, but when I try to join them together(similar to regular LOR boxes, it only finds one of them.

Also  a little insight of how the second set of 16 channels are assigned.

Please help

All LOR pixies are shipped set to ID #1 (base ID  )  For a pixie16 that implies 01 thru 10  (HEX) for the ALL of the ports inclusive

The second Pixie needs its own block of ID's. Say 11 thru 20 (HEX) assigned

Never overlap THE BLOCK with a different model.

Can you give some step by step instructions on how to do that?

 

Thanks

The Unit ID is set in the Hardware Utility. 

Begin with making sure that the HU is the only LOR program open.  Connect the USB485 adapter to the PC and connect only the second Pixie16 to that.  Then press the refresh button.  The refresh should return one unit found, #01

Then press the config button, then push the Cosmic Color/Pixie button.  You'll see where the Unit ID# is set to 01.  You need to change that to 11.  Then follow the prompts out of that screen.

Press the refresh button again and it should return a value of 11.  If it does, you're good to go.
