Alright, I'm all excited about building my first Aether (actually built 4), and testing them out. I set the channels up using the Lynx address utility, and got things to work fine in Vixen - I could see all 4 colors in Vixen using a short sequence.
So..... I was trying out LSP, since I'm going to attempt to do some RGB pixels shortly - wanted to see if the software would be easier to manage than Vixen. BUT, I can't get the darn thing to recognize the Aether flood.
I'm aware this is probably an "operator error" issue, but hoping someone might tell me where I'm going wrong.
I've made pretty much every imaginable contoller in LSP, but i'll walk you through one of the scenarios I tried:
Hardware:
- Aether II flood
- DMX USB Dongle
- Lovely low-voltage power supply stolen from my porch lights
Prior to LSP:
- Used Lynx address utility to set channel at 3 (did many different channels without a difference)
In LSP:
1) Pulled in Lynx Express 16 channel DMX controller
2) Left channels as they came in (1-16)
3) Configured output plugin to use DMX USBPro, using COM3 (which worked just fine with the address utility), left defaults for everything else (30 ms effect generation interval, and 512 channels)
4) Went to test hardware, and used "bank on". I could see all 16 channels, and nothing happens. Chase channels, nothing. I was expecting to see RGBW on channels 3,4,5,6
Tried Enttec DMX Pro device, using RGB, ignoring white, no difference. Is there some other setup portion that I'm missing? I'm on day 3 of trying to figure this out, and I'm getting quite frustrated WAY to early in the season.
Thoughts?
