Advantages?

Added LOR Dongle. Booted up FPP.

LOR option does not show up.

Does this mean I have to convert LOR channels to DMX via a DMX crossover cable in order to play in FPP.

I also have dumb RGB channles with ENTEC dongle. Even these are not playing on the FPP. In the settings I have put them under DMX.

Thanks

Read post from CaptainMurdoch 
LOR output is only available in the FPP v1.0 beta or by switching a v0.4.0 SD image to the 'stage' code branch which contains the v1.0 beta code.

Which entec dongle do you have, there are Open and Pro versions and you have To select the right version in FPP.  Also if you have removed the LOR dongle your device name may have changed.  You need to reboot with the dongles inserted as you want the show to run as indicated in a previous post.

I have a DMX USB dongle bought from seasonal entertainment. It does not say open or Pro.

Also do I have to format the SD card again if if I have to flash a new image - 1.0 beta.

Regards.

I am assuming this is the zDongle which is entec pro compatible so you would configure a DMX pro output.

Yes, you should reformat the SD card using the format utility mentioned in the install instructions whenever you install a new FPP image.  This resets the partitions allowing you to use the maximum amount of the SD for the new install.

Thank you. All the lights ouput except LOR.

I have set them up as channels 1 to 48. What can be missing.

3) You have pixel overlay feature. While talking to people on the street you can type text and it will overlay on top of current running show. Walk to someone watching show: "Hi, what's you daughters name?" "Jenny" enter "Merry Christmas Jenny" on my phone,  a few seconds later it appears on top of the current effects.

How would you set this up so it can be done on the fly like this?
