EWard Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Hi, I have a new 16x50 tree with topper. I have it set on Com 3 and the hardware utility will find the controller and I can turn the lights on in any colour through the hardware utility using the test. In network preferences the LOR network shows up and I have changed to 500k speed and turned on the Enhanced LOR, so I can run a sequence with Motion Effects. When I click the "Find/Configure PixCon 16" button to link the controller the program won't find the controller. Adapter shows as 10.0.0.71 when I refresh the Adapter the same one shows up which I believe is the correct one....the program won't find the device when I search. Any suggestions on how to solve?

Jeremiah Ackermann Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Do you have a Pixie16 or a PixCon16? They are different types of boards. The Pixie16 uses LOR serial communication and would require a high speed USB adapter at 500K speed using Enhanced. The PixCon16 uses E1.31 communication that goes over an IP network. That IP address is likely not 10.0.0.71, that is more likely your internet service provider. If you have a PixCon16, watch this video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWard Posted December 2, 2022 Author Share Posted December 2, 2022 Thanks. It is a Pixie16. I thought it might be my adapter so I ordered the HS but was sent 2 of the USB485 which appear to still be the old low speed adapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EWard Posted December 2, 2022 Author Share Posted December 2, 2022 I know but they don't have the high speed sticker on them and won't run the Pixie16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However for mor sophisticated sequences/ shows there will be problems like lag or nothing working. JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWard Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 Got the high speed adapter. All lights light up in the hardware utility but when I play my show only the bottom 10 pixels of one string will light. I feel like the channels aren't configured correctly. Any tips?

TheDucks Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 What happens if you try and control that port (string) with HU? Resolution should be 50. If you set it lower, it divides the string by that number (that is the controllable units. A 50 sting set to 10. make the string behave as 5 nodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
