Alphapix 4 controller problems on MAC

[Davidnsb]

trying to test lights and no matter what I do, I can only control output #1. I am in unicast mode with each output (1-4) configured as a different universe. I am running latest version of xlights on a MAC and updated to latest software on the controller. any ideas?

You are going to need to give more information. You could have xlights incorrectly setup, so include screenshots of your setup. Your alphapix could be incorrectly setup.

Ok now post an image of your controller setup.

And how do we know you had the models setup correctly to actually send data to the other universes?

When I first got my Alphapix, I noticed that I had to 1) update the firmware on the device, and 2) update some of the settings on the device itself (through the browser-interface).

I struggled for awhile too, trying to figure out where the problem was.

Your AlphaPix will not work with 512 channels it needs to be set for 510 for each universe for one thing and secondly universe 1 thru 4 only goes to the first plug normally.
If you set the controller differently remember there are only four plugs for the controller.
Each plug can handle 680 nodes so on four plugs you can control 16 Universes. Your models will need to feed through to the next in line if you use the 680 per plug.
