f150trk21 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Have a DMX issue with my LOR800W. Cant get my DMX software to connect with it, just get the red flashing LED. The LOR800W has the CTB08D V4 board with firmware 4.30. I have the Unit ID set to 01. I know my dmx/usb Enttec to dmx/rj45 adapters work, they connect just fine to my CMB24D board. I even tried running the DMX signal through the CMB24D then to the LOR800W. Any ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Can you confirm that the 800W will work when driven by a LOR signal. That will confirm that the RS-485 chip did not fail or a connector problem. 2nd, remember that most DMX devices use a different pinout than most LOR devices. You CMD24D has jumpers to determine which wiring standard to use - I don't believe that the 800W does. So you would need to make sure the wiring is correct. Most DMX devices use pins 1 & 2 whereas LOR uses pins 4 & 5 on the RJ45 connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f150trk21 Posted September 29, 2021 Author Share Posted September 29, 2021 Thanks, that’s what the problem was. Made a new dmx to rj45 cable and it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
