TheatreTechie Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I have been tasked with creating a couple new sequences for our city's Christmas Tree. I have written those sequences and want to test them on the tree itself. I have used the Simple Show builder to put them on a SD Card but when I plug the card into the Director it says "Error No Show on SD Card". Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Mega Arch Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I would try it again. Sometimes it's little things. I always do a simple reformatting of the card first. Wipe it clean... Also, be sure using a Kingston sd card for best results.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With only AC controllers you can use (or at least I used PNY cards). With that being said. When I added pixels this year and my pixie controllers for testing I set the mini director up (didn't want to drill a new hole and run new data cables to back yard. PNY's did not work. After trying everything under the sun I submitted a HD ticket. LOR recommended I use a Kingston card. I drove 1.5 hours away to nearest Kingston card got home popped it in and instantly had lights. LOR does not recommend Sandisk as well but I have never read any problems with any other card. Even my PNY's that worked until pixels.

Mscannic Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 LOR told me it was the firmware. I just updated and it is now working. See my thread for a few issues I had when trying to update firmware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really. The OP said "Thank you everyone, this was an issue with the card and some issues with my card writer. " I thanked the OP for reporting those facts. How is a firmware update in any way relevant to what I or the OP said? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
