pixie 8 dumb vs smart

[Philbd]

So my pixie 8 that was being operated in dumb pixel mode is now required to operate in smart mode (pixie tree) I can’t seem to find the correct way of doing this any suggestions appreciated.

HU There is an Advanced button on the Configuration Screen. Remove  the tick (CMB emulation) and save

On the way to try that thanks ,I tried to do that and HU says this unit does not support advanced config the version is 1.07, advanced config did work at one time when it was set for dumb pixel

Is 1.07 the latest firmware for your Pixie Controller?   

I seem to recall I had to update the firmware in some of my pixies to access the advanced features and upgraded lighting options.

But I haven't looked at mine for almost a year, so I'm not sure of the latest firmware versions at present.

I usually update firmware in my controllers in late January or early February, right after the season to keep them up to date with the latest LOR Software Suite available, even if I'm not using it.  That way they're already ready to be used to their full capability when I do upgrade the software.

@Orville 1.07 is the latest, but I did not discover the Emulation setting  until I fired up S6 HU.

The setting is in the card.  My (test) Pixie4 now behaves like a half of a CMB24.  1 LOR ID, Port 1 is Ch 1-3,Port 2 is 4-6... 

The only dif is there are smart (3 wire) strings attached to the port

I think I have a Pixie4 set in dumb mode, via HU for 2 of the V1 LOR SINGING TREES I have. 

But I set that in the prop setting area of the HU in 4.4.16PRO. 

So, I'm not sure if that would actually be considered dumb mode or not.   

Trying to just keep up with all this RGB stuff can sure get confusing at times.

I did do a reset on the controller but it didn’t fix the problem.
