LOR DC Controller LOR Optimised Protocol?

[ShaggySS]

Hello,
I am new to xlights coming from LOR.  I have some hardware I would like to bring over and use in xlight 2 AC controllers and 1 DC controller CMB16D.  I am using the same show computer and have my LOR USB dongle so my initial plan was to keep it all using that interface.  I got the 2 AC controllers working but was unsuccessful with the DC.  Now I am pretty sure I know the answer to my question but since DC controllers are not listed in xLights but before I run a new cable and figure out this DMX thing I figured I better ask.  Are LOR DC Controllers supported in xlights using the LOR protocol?

Thanks,
Scott

They are supported.

That is great news...started down a rabbit hole expecting the worst. 

From a controller perspective which device type should I be selecting?

You define it based on the interface type so you need to determine if its DMX or USB.  LOR protocol will not be used over DMX.

I would prefer to use LOR since its mounted next to two existing LOR controllers and daisy chaining one more is easy.  I don't have any DMX in my show just E1.31.  My AC controllers work just fine but my CMB16-DC does not.  If I open the LOR Hardware utility it works so I know the device is functional.

Wow.  I am an IDIOT.  Hopefully this will help others.

I created 3 LOR controllers vs creating 1 and selecting 3 devices.  For this reason my first one worked but had I tested AC Controller 02 it would not have.  For the DC Controller I selected Device Type AC Controller

Everything it working now.  I am ready!

Glad you got it going.  You can still daisy chain all the devices using DMX you would just need a DMX output from an E1.31 controller.  I do that in my show with a Falcon controller.
