dcbay Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Good afternoon, I have a Pixie 16 controller controlling a 16 CCR tree. The controller/board failed last night and I have a replacement on the way and it will hopefully be here tomorrow or Friday. I am running LOR 4.3.16. Is there an easy way to set up the new Pixie controller so that I can just plug and play, i.e. can I set it's Unit ID the same as the old one? Sorry if I'm not using all the terms correctly, it's been a few years since I've made any changes to configurations, etc! Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgrant Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 The larger and pressing question is what happened to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcbay Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 I am not sure. I bought the controller in 2016 so it has a few years on it. The CCR tree had frozen on an image and then went dark after I turned it off and back on. The red light is flashing on the board. I tried to reset it and to also get the test pattern to run, but nothing so far has worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you For a pixie controller you should have at least 4.4.0 to be able to set the controller in teh HU. Watch my video on setting up the new pixie. Its pinned at the top of the General HArdware thread. JR Edited December 8, 2022 by dibblejr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcbay Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 Thank you! Will I be able to set the Unit ID with the dip switches on a version 2 Pixie 16 and not have to use the HU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you can use dip switches. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
