tonyloga Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Hi everyone I added my 16 channel older original controller to my set up now that I have all the RGB controllers set up and working. I was going to use these for my old snowman, deer, flood light and other props. Hardware utility recognized it and I can test them and they light up. I then added them in s5 and tried to set a channel to on for the sequence but they don’t light up. When I looked at the controller it now says “ no connection”. If I go back to hardware utility I can turn them on and off so I know that it’s recognizing the controller. I have added pictures of the set up and think I’m just missing something in s5. Any help would be appreciated. ( sorry for the quality of photos but I had to resize them to get uploaded here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDucks Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 How OLD? A Gen 2 can not be used on an Enhanced network. It needs to be on ONE that is not. It also can't be on a network above 115K Pixies like Enhanced mode and a Red adapter at 500K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyloga Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 It was purchased in 2012. I have added the pic of the order. In the hardware utility it shows as 32LD-G3 ver 1.06. I don’t know if G3 is generation 3. I do have it running on the the red USB connector and still have the old black one as a back up if needed. Not sure if this helps. Would I have to set up the 16channel on the other USB connector as a separate network? cheers tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Pretty sure that in 2012, Gen-3 had not been invented yet. That is when I started and I don't think Gen-3 came out until a couple years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDucks Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I would put that oldie on the Black (NOT enhanced mode) , and the other stuff on the Red. (run 2 networks minimum) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyloga Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 Ok sounds good. Is there a proper way to do that. Just don’t want to mess anything up now that I have the rest working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For S4, there was the channel configuration tool:Change controller (button on the bottom). There it was simple. Select the device ID from those the sequence used: change the Network. Repeat for each ID (you need to do pixies for each PORT ID) 💡 put the Red as Regular, and move the slower ones to Black (AuxA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 It's about as easy on S5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
