LOR S6.3.6 not communicating with my controller


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a Hinkspix Pro v3 controller that I hooked up to my computer.  I've been having troubles getting my snowflake prop to respond in the test lights and preview mode.  Yesterday it started working randomly (I changed the IP address from 010.010.010.010 to 10.10.10.10 and I am guessing that did something).  The network my controller is 10.10.10.10 and my network log said it kept opening up ports on 8.8.8.8.  So after I fixed that, it worked 15 minutes later (randomly).  I went ahead and worked on a song and shut my computer down for the night.  After I fired my computer up today and started to edit again, my prop will not light again.  I have ZERO idea how shutting my computer down would affect anything.  I know I have everything programmed correctly for my channels and universes because it was firing correctly last night.  Any suggestions?

10.10.10.10 is a public domain ip address just like 192.168.1.1 is a public domain address. The 8.8.8.8 is Googles DNS server.

So when I open it up right now here is the network log:

I only have my DMX connected, so I am not concerned with the LOR networks at this point.  Since my controller's IP is 10.10.10.10, is this correct?  It is confirming that it's opening the proper number of universes.  The controller is green on the networks tab, so it is recognizing the controller is in fact connected.  I can test lights through my controller interface just fine, but nothing is working when I go to test any lights in the S6 software.  It recognizes everything is there, but it won't respond to any prompts.  It was working last night, but randomly stopped working today.

It shouldn't unless the HixPix is incredibly stupid.

Are you sure it was not port 5568?  That is normal.

Skipping the rest.  Looks reasonable to me.

What are you trying to test and how?

I have no idea what Mr. P is talking about.  10.x.x.x and 192.168.x.x are private address ranges.

To a programmer, "010" means "eight". Many programming languages interpret a number with a leading 0 as an octal number. Usually, this convention is not used when converting IP addresses because it confuses the user. It's possible that the LOR software uses a number conversion routine that assumes 0x... means hexadecimal, 0... means octal, and other numbers mean decimal. If so, this was probably overlooked because IP addresses with leading zeros weren't tested.

So I am trying to test my lights through the hardware utility.  I try pixels, channels, and props to no avail.  It all worked for two days and now it isn't working again.  I changed exactly zero in anything with my controller or LOR.
