New to XLIGHTS
« on: May 08, 2020, 02:05:23 PM »
I have been with LOR (running version S4) for about 5 years but want to go to XLIGHTS.
My LOR setup right now is 5 CTB16PC ac controllers running ac lights, and 1 ECG-P12S controller running a 12 string rgb pixel tree.
I decided this year i wanted to add some matrix's to my show, so that's why I'm coming to XLIGHTS.
So far I have built 3 matrix's using p10 panels using BBBs with octoscrollas for my controllers. I have got these configured and working in XLIGHTS, so now its time to move my LOR stuff over so here are my questions.
Since my P12S is already configured to run my rgb tree in LOR, can i just build a model for it in XLIGHTS and set the ip for the network and and should work?? Does that sound right?
Once I get this setup, I will then ask about the CTB16PC controllers. One step at a time. I eventually want to go to mostly rgb but that will take time. $$
Thanks

Got it going. As I figured, I just needed to set up my model in XLIGHTS and set my ip to match the network. Hooked it up to the lights, Fired up XLIGHTS and it works great. Now for the CTBs. scuba, I sent you a pm.
