Caden04 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 This is my first year using light o Rama. I have already made a 1 min sequence and I am ready to test it on my lights. I have successfully turned on and off the lights and control them from the hardware utility console without a problem. But every time I try to control the lights to play the show or even test it in the sequence editor to plays but none of the lights turn on. I have watched every video and read every article and can not find anything that can fix my problem. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c7williams Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Have you opened up the control panel? The CommListener must be open in order for the control lights option to work. Follow these steps. Plug in USB dongle and hook up controller Launch Control Panel Open Sequencer Uncheck Control Lights if checked. Check Control Lights You should be golden now if not let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orville Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Just a note here, the HU is a back door to test a controller and lights, the HU will operate WITHOUT the Control panel operating, however, the Sequencer requires Control Panel to be loaded and working. Do you have the LOR Light Bulb icon on the lower right side on your taskbar? If no LOR light Bulb icon is there, Control Panel is NOT loaded, and the Sequencer may open and play the audio file, but the lights will not function, even if check lights is checked. And did you also set up your Network preferences in the Network configuration program? If not, you need to do that and it needs to match what's in the Sequencer to function.

How do I match the configuration in the network preferences to the sequencer? I have set up the com and all of that but I can not figure out how to change or see thoes settings in the editor. Also how do I know all the settings in the network preferences are correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I'm thinking your issue must lie in your unit IDs. What unit ID is the controller set to? What unit ID do you have set up under your props? They must match. Can you provide some screenshots of the hardware utility as well as your prop definitions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDucks Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I don't know 5.x In 4.x SE, there is a Tool to change Networks and ID for a single sequence. The button is at the bottom of Tools: Channel Configuration: change Controller That allows you to pick a controller ID (note for Pixies , you need to do this for each PORT ID ) you can use this to simply bulk move an ID from Regular to AuxA (and not change the ID) or you can do both. Be cautious and do NOT ovelay an existing ID-net pairing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
