Title: No Warnings in convert
Post by: colonelcline on May 26, 2024, 10:33:01 AM
Does getting no warnings and only info after converting LMS to FSEQ mean it worked?

In check sequence, can I ignore "all channels must be 510 channels"?

Thanks!

I'm curious as to why you are getting a report of "all channels must be 510".  The DMX specification, and common usage since we started this "hobby", says universes may be up to 512.

That could be controller limitation although I don't recall any off the top of my head that has 510 only.

Very interesting.  Many of us will short a universe from time to time (set the universe to 250 or even 100), and almost all of mine are set at 512.  I wonder what setting is being used by Check Sequence to come up with this error.

Which controller model did you configure?

I've always just ignored it (510) and things work fine on a variety of Advateks. LOR's in DMX and a F16v4. My difficulty is getting LOR to convert properly. I watched several uTube tutorials and think I have it? At least no more Warning in the convert. I'm just asking if getting no warnings means it will work. I'm a "maybe" it should now.  Here's my controllers. See any problems?
