Ok, I have a theory. I was able to get past the comm error in the vixen, but nothing. I think that I had that last night, but a reboot synced it up since I unchecked the DMX add-in last night. I built the LE but didn't have a dongle, and since the LE was from a kit, it was programmed. So I ordered the Dongle. Well I then built that and went on to vixen. In re-reading the LE manual, I need to set the starting channel. I did that tonight be setting it to 001. But still no reaction. I'm guessing that I need to do the LE config tool and set it in there, or is setting on the LE manually the same? I'm hoping that my LE firmware doesn't need to be downloaded again, since Jim lives an hour away. As my wife said "I guess the PICkit3 is my xmas present to you." I'm hoping I don't have to go that route, but if I do, it can get here next Tuesday.
Am I missing any other things that might be a factor?
