eric dominguez Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 I did but nothing happendOn my lap top I have 3 usb how do i know which one is the com 1. LOR came with the communication adapter and I hooked it up to my computer and I put the other of the cat 5 cable to the lor 1602.there are two cat 5 plugs in the lor which one do I plug intoThank YouEric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-klb- Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 The LOR control panel should cause the light bulb to appear in the system tray. On XP, there is a chance that it might become a hidden item, where you might have to click the button to get the icon to appear.LOR should work with the adapter on any serial port less than com16. One way to identify the correct com port is to have one controller connected to the RS485 adapter, launch the hardware utility with nothing else (sequence editor, or control panel) trying to use the adapter. Then click the autoconfig button. The hardware utility will try talking on all available com ports, and listen for a controller to answer back. Usually this will get you the right port. If it finds the controller, it will ask if this is the port you want to use for shows. Tell it yes...If your RS485 adapter is the USB-485B, it has two RJ-45 ports. Either one will work. You can actually use them to run one cable to one controller, and the other port to a different controller. As for the connectors on the 1602, if you are using cat 5, either of the RJ-45 ports (center and right) will work. If you are using phone cord, you need to run from a RJ-45 (on the USB adapter) to the RJ-11 port (left) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Mitchell Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 On a more basic note. Do your lights work if you play the sequence in the sequence editor? (With control lights checked in the play menu) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric dominguez Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 I just tried running in the sequence editor and got nothing. I checked off the CONTROLL LIGHTS and it did not do anything,I did notice that on my LOR the light inside is blinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shubb Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Did you refresh the hardware utility after you connected the USB adapter?Did it find any units?Is the max Unit ID higher than the unit ID on the controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric dominguez Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 That was the first thing I did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-klb- Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 If this is a downloaded sequence, have you downloaded, or otherwise acquired the same audio, and then told the sequence editor where to find the media file?If you have a cable for a FM transmitter hooked up, many PC's disconnect their internal speakers when that cable is plugged in. How do you have your audio set up currently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric dominguez Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 I tried most of that and I still had no sound, I'll play with it when i get home, what I did do and im not sure if it is right waseverytime i made a new musical sequence I imported the same templet with the animation , then i built the show from there (so I didn't have to re-write all the channels and re draw my house in the animation portion).When i save a new sequence does it save the animation does it save the animationI have 3 Lor 1602 when I daisy chain them togeather will they know what channel goes with what 1602 or do I have to change the address of the 1602 (HOW DO I DO THAT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-klb- Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 On the 1602 controllers, there are a pair of white plastic dials exposed near the top of the controller when you have the front panel open. You set the two digit controller ID with those dials, then power the unit up.Using the same base file is a good idea, especially for importing the channel configuration if you have made changes. For each sequence, you need to use edit->media file, and select which audio or video media is to be played with the sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank A. Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Good morningMusic is protected by copyright lawsYou have to choose the sequences you wantdocumenting the music artist and then find the music on cdor on the net and purchase itthen you have to adjust the sequence to the musicThats brief but it is the ideaFrank A.
