How to add LOR controllers

[YamsClark]

I have 2 16 channel LOR controllers. I was just testing output to lights, and nothing worked. I am wondering if I set it up correctly at all. Can someone tell me how to add LOR in setup and layout?

[Gilrock]

Depends on whether you are running them via a USB RS285 dongle or in DMX mode from another controller.  Layout doesn't change either was because when drawing a model we don't care what type of controller you are using.

[YamsClark]

I am using a dongle. Whenever I open the program, it always says that it can't figure out the channel models for my LOR elements. I put in all of the start channels, too. How should I configure the LOR?

Run check sequence and post the results.

IP Address we are outputing data from: 192.168.254.26
If your PC has multiple network connections (such as wired and wireless) this should be the IP Address of the adapter your controllers are connected to. If it isnt your controllers may not receive output data.
If you are experiencing this problem you may need to set the local IP address to use.

Don't know how much you wanted me to post! Hope this does it. I see a lot wrong, but don't know what to do about it.

[keithsw1111]

Start by adding in universe 65 or moving your single lines to a valid universe.

Also look at your ribbon tree and matrix they aren't right. You need to put them on a controller.

[keithsw1111]

Fix. Run check sequence. Repeat. You must fix the errors. The warnings you can ignore if they were intended.

[YamsClark]

Ok thanks! I thought I understood this but I guess not. It says the IP address at the top. So when setting the IP addresses in, do I use 192.168.254.26, and then change the 26 to whatever my controller is? Also, this might sound really dumb, but when you said that I need to put my ribbon tree and matrix on a controller, do you know any good tutorials for that?

[Gilrock]

That IP address is to show you what xLights is sending data out.  Some people have multiple network interfaces and don't realize the data is going out the wrong one.  Your controller IP addresses need to match the controller and yes hopefully its the same subnet or it probably won't work.  All the models in the "Overlapping model channels" section appear that you have them set to the same start channel.  If its a LOR 16 channel controller then I'd expect to see the start channels go 1, 2, 3, etc. plus whatever universe you are using if doing DMX.
