Title: DSC Programming Issue
Post by: brandonj on November 19, 2012,

I am having a strange issue while programming a DSC.

I set the start channel to 513, node count 1.
When I go into vixen to test the channels, the output is as follows:
512 - Blue
513 - Red
514 - Green

So it looks like it sucessfully programmed the start channel to red, and the next is green, but for some reason, the blue went backwards.

I have tried changing the Mode, and Smart String Device Type, to see if there's any difference, but I get the same result.

Any suggestions?

Double check your wiring from the DSC to the strings

I double-checked once again just to be sure, and everything is right.  Even if they are wrong, that wouldn't explain why it assigned a color to channel 512, when my starting channel is 513.

for the start address...  try setting it again. 
see if moving the channel up one more higher helps you

as for the color, what are you connecting to your dsc?
i use flex strips that turns out the colors are wrong from what printed on the strip.
+BRG  is actually  +GRB  (on my set)

Yeah, it looks like mine are a little messed up as well. In the end, I ended up fixing the mismatched colors, and programming the DSC's start channel to CHANNEL+1, and it looks like it is working.

Sure do wonder why its off by one though.
