Title: DMX Universe Help
Post by: mmais on September 06, 2018, 12:16:39 PM

My first universe(#1) is where I run my DMX controllers. Everything was setup & tested last week & I wanted to do another controller. So today I went to test & for some reason my Universe 1 is set to Com 1.(see picture)
How do I change this back so DMX is universe 1?

If you are using a serial adapter to run your universe 1 then it should be the com port your computer sees it as. Items attached to such dongles know nothing about universe numbers ... as they only ever expect to see one universe.

E1.31 on the other hand is a network protocol that supports lots of universes but that is a different connection entirely.

You can have multiple dongles and run multiple serial universes if you like.

Should have added these DMX controllers are running off a Falcon 16 V3. Would that or could that have caused the change?

Then you should have added it as an e131 output ... not dmx.
