Title: 3 controller setup
Post by: bob1354 on December 17, 2017, 04:11:51 PM

Hi to all
 I have a USB Lynx DMX dongle a San Devices E682 and a Advatek Pixel lite 16
 so when you set this up on the setup page do have to put all the chanels the controller has or can you just put the chanels you are using ?
 like on the DMX Dongle it has 512 ch. but i am only using 81 ch. then it goes to San Devices 7 universe's then to the Pixle Lite 16 7 universe's
 and when you go from one controller to to next controller do you start back at unvi 1 ch.1 or do you start the DMX to universe 1 to ch 1 to 81 then the San devices at universe 1 ch.82 and the Pixel Lite 16 at universe 1 ch.3652 or the DMX to universe 1ch 1 then San Device to universe 1 ch 1 then Pixel Lite 16 universe 1 ch. 1
 Thanks Bob

XLights doesn’t care but you may ... particularly if you are using absolute start channels in XLights. If you are I would full size my universes. If not then make them whatever size makes you happy as you can always change them later. Just make sure they match on the controller.

Run check sequence. It is going to complain about duplicate multicast universes. That is a big no no. All multicast universes must have a unique universe number
