If your using the LSP scheduler to run your show there is some known problems that David is currently working on to correct ASAP.  I can't even get mine to run it just crashes and I took my Smart Strings out of my display this year so I am down to a channel count of 112.  I am forced to go Xlights till the problem is corrected.

Are you running LOR sequences which were exported from LSP ?

Check to be sure you programmed your PIC.

A hub will run pixelnet even with an unprogrammed PIC.  :)

Hey Guys, thanks for the help, but I went away from running all DMX this season. I am going to try and figure it all out before take down next year. Wow that sounds like a long time!  :o

tonight, i realized i also had no dmx out...

i checked the programmer, the pic had programming loaded, but wrong checksum,
i updated to the one in the wiki, and dmx out now works.

i checked the other hub, and same thing.  bad checksum showing as 827C instwad of 8196.

hope this works for you too
