I’d appreciate your help and advice on the best way to setup Xlights to run over 100 AC channels in DMX mode. What is the proper setup for DMX on the setup tab?
Hardware setup:
I have a cross-over cable that I understand goes into a DMX port on the pixel controller (PixLite 16), and then daisy chain the LOR controllers from the cross-over cable.
The LOR controllers will be set to Universe 1.
Xlights setup tab:
Do I use the “add E1.31 button” since it is coming out of an E1.31 network? (I tried this method, but none of the AC channels would light up).
Or
Do I use the “add LOR button”, select what?
Or
Do I use the “add USB button”, select DMX as the protocol? If I use this, I assume I would change the hardware setup to have the RJ485 connected to USB port on the show computer; the cross-over cable would connect to the RJ485; then daisy chain the LOR controllers off the cat5 connector on the RJ485.
Is there anything I need to do within the LOR hardware utility to tell the LOR controllers to run in DMX mode?
I’ve searched the tutorial videos and found several videos showing how to sequence effects for AC channels. However I can’t find one showing proper way to setup AC channels in DMX mode.
Thanks for your help!!!!!!
