tekcor1 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I just set up a LOR controller. When I use the hardware utility I can control and test the lights and it works as it's supposed to. However, in the sequence editor, when I play my sequence and check the "Control Lights" tab the lights aren't turning on. What am I doing wrong? Is there some way I'm supposed to connect the sequence to the controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iresq Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Welcome Tekcor1.An additional thought, it the hardware utility still open? That will cause the sequence editor to not control your lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekcor1 Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Thanks for the replies. I should have given a few more details on what I've already tried.Hardware utility is closed. Each channel is assigned correctly I believe: Device type is Light o rama controller, Network regular, Unit is 1, Circuit is 1-16.I'm missing something and it's driving me nuts! The joys of learning something new. :?Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Lott Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 ok lets start from the beggining. Fisrt question. When your controller is powered on and is pluged in using usb or serial, when you open your se what does the led status light do also there is a colord square in the bottom corner what color is it.

tekcor1 Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 When I power on my controller box the LED is solid red, and stays on solid red when I open the sequence editor. I'm not seeing a colored square in the bottom corner of the box or the sequence editor.Edit: sorry, there is a red box in the bottom right corner of my SE that says Comm Port Status: Error. I'm assuming this is the root of my problem. A step in the right direction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekcor1 Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Okay, I checked the Network preferences and it was set to comm 3 which was correct. I remembered reading that the LED light was supposed to blink when powered on, not be solid, so that didn't seem right. I unplugged everything and shut down SE. I then powere back on the controller, and it blinked like it was supposed to, so I loaded SE again. My square was blue this time instead of red, and it worked! Thanks for the help on getting this resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
