Title: Dumb controller and a f16v2 node setup
Post by: Dldesper on September 11, 2016, 03:39:25 PM

I want to run universes on xlights and the f16v2 with node counts of 1 to X, but the dumb controller has no universes only nodes, how do I set it up? Does the dumb controller take up the first X amount of nodes then the universes kick in?

You still have to treat it like E1.31 universes.  You will set them up as E1.31 universes in xLights and in the F16v2.  Then in the F16v2 you will route one of the universes out a serial port.  At that point it becomes a series of 512 data channels that work with any DMX device including your dumb controller.

Thank you, I'm just one of the rookies.
