Title: Set up
Post by: Chris A on July 09, 2014, 10:35:34 PM

I'm assuming I have not done my set-up correctly but I can't figure it out. I'm using LOR and E682 for my DMX. I have set up a model to start on DMX 19 which corresponds to channel 8705 in the set up. When I export the model as a lcb or as a LMS it automatically starts at DMX 19.4 which is channel 8710 and the first channel 8707 is blank. I'm using 24 strands of 48 pixels and only the first channel on the string is blank. I'm sure this is an easy fix, but I'm stumped.

This may be related? I think I am off a few channels on the LOR side. 3 16ch lors is 48 channels and shows as channels 1-48 in xlights but 1-16, 17-33, 34-50 comes out at 50?

Any chance you can send me the xlights_network.xml and the LMS file?   The xlights_rgbeffects.xml and mp3 would also be useful so I can see what the output looks like.  I can try and dig in and see.

I just tried a small 48 channel sequence I have (3 normal LOR units) and the channels all came out  exactly as expected using channels 1 - 48.

I can certainly send the lms file but I don't know how to send or access the X-lights xml file?

1 - 16 is 16 channels
17 - 33 is 17 channels
34 - 50 is 17 channels

(count it on your fingers and toes!)

Had to take both shoes off! ;D But 17+16=33? I am trying to get my excel sheet formula to match xlights and it appears it is "starting channel + 15" where the starting channel's value = 1.

In setup are you adding like:
Com3=48
Com4=166 
or
Com3=16
Com3=16
Com3=16
Com4=150
Com4=16
