Durty Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 So, I hooked up my 16 channel AC controllers, set the IDs to 01 and 02 respectively. Hooked up my Pixie8D, show it plugged into the same COM port but when I refresh on the HU...no controllers found. LED is steady red once I have it plugged in to the computer. Probably something simple I'm missing (this is the first time I've used a Pixie so maybe there is something more I'm supposed to be doing).

Start with ONLY a Pixie. change the ID. 03 is next (but you CAN skip). Remember Pixie 8 uses 8 UP consutive ID's starting wit the ONE you assign. 03,04,05,06,07,08,09,0A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume, you removed the other controllers for this step? I also assume the LED is on/flashing? (flashing say it does not see the LOR adapter-control.) Not on is a power issue (or a board fail) Power must be applied to the Right set of power terminals (I think it says LOGIC) Use the switches then (page 42 in the manual). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, I thought there were no DIP switches...my sincere apologies, it was there right in front of my face.

Durty Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Thanks Ducks, that was the simple problem that I figured I was missing. I was convinced I didn't have a gen 2 board since I didn't see the DIP switches. Just completely over looked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just add a jumper for EOL termination (a good practice) as needed, Disable Aux power to the CAT5 to avoid odd clashes with other stuff.
