Pixlite 16

[Tim C]

Hi all,

I have a Pixlite 16 v 3.12.0 with a 16 channel tree.  I have not put the tree up in 7 years and wanted to this year.  I staged it in the garage and I'm glad I did.  The computer isn't communicating with the controller.  The computer I am using has windows 7 on it since it hasn't been used since I put up the tree.  The red status led on the controller board is solid red and the green  power led is off.  From what I read that it is some sort of power problem.  I checked power coming into the board and have 12v coming into the board from each power supply.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pixilte? Which product is that?

[Tim C]

That is the name on the mother board.  It is an LOR controller, 16 channel

The Pixlite 16 is an Advatek board. I seem to remember it was the basis for the Pixcon.

So, not a LOR controllers, an E1.31 board i think.

[Tim C]

Yes it is an Advatek board but sold to me by LOR.  I've never heard of Pixcon.  

[Don]

I can't say that I recall LOR ever selling an Advatek board. Can you show us a picture of the board?

[Tim C]

 It's not letting me attach a pic.  It is saying the file is too big

[Don]

Do you have Dropbox, Google Drive, or other cloud service? You could link to it that way

Let me see what I can figure out

Not sure if I did that right

[k6ccc]

Almost.  You need to make the file available to us without logging onto file.io

I either bought it from LOR or Wowlights.com as an LOR controller.   It was a DIY controller, I had to attach all the whips

That's not something LOR ever sold. You probably got it from WowLights. 

[Tim C]

Wowlights.com says it's a LOR distributer?  I guess I was scammed.   Lesson learned.

[Don]

WowLights is a LOR Partner. They are allowed to sell products that are not made by LOR.
You didn't get scammed. You just purchased something that works with LOR software, but wasn't made by LOR.
If something on that board isn't working, you might want to get with WowLights, since based on your messages, they would have been the one to sell it to you.

Okay I'll try that.  Thank you.
