Pixie 16 works in test, but not in sequence

[metallus2000]

6.3.10 version. Pro

Firmware 1.08

The pixie 16 works fine in test mode, every strand lights up as expected. But, when I play a sequence, nada.

I have confirmed that all the network configurations are correct, preview is fine and works with every controller, except this one. 

I have 8 controllers running, the problem one is the first in the chain.

If all the rest work, the CHAIN is fine. (the jacks just pass thru signals, with the board as a tap via the chip)

Bad (8 pin) network chip

What is with the rash of chip issues????

BTW 8 Pixie 16 in a chain. OOOOOOOOOOOOO my is that network overloaded

I have a second dongle for high speed. I thought of that. But wouldn't that occur at the end of the chain? I'll try adding an aux network. The network was fine last year, but who knows...

That is not THIS issue.  All Pixies need SPEED ~500K. YOU need 1000 and ELOR (and that may not be enough for a show)

There is a rule of thumb on how many nodes before you break up an network. The more effects, the sooner. but I would guess you need at least 4 HS networks.\

Your issue as I understand it. It No do anything.

BTW What is the status LED on the board doing?  Blinky means it is not seeing the host... again, the chip if all the others are steady

OK I figured it out. Yes the network was overloaded. I dropped from my normal 500k speed down one and  the lights worked. I will be putting a second netowrk (aux) tomorrow.

light is steady/on. Know that part :-)

How many pixels are on that network?  I don't care about the number of strings or ports - it's the number of pixels that matters.
