When I built the two aethers II over the weekend I used my normal active hub and was able to get them to cycle completely with xlights and to respond in lsp to a sequence.
I picked up a second active hub from the buy sell and happen to be driving the aethers off the dmx out of there. The pixelnet portion is working perfectly and I suspect the dmx out is working also, but have not tested it as moving the aethers won't work due to the power cords back to the transformer.
Tomorrow I will swap the active hubs to rule out some soldering issue or something on the acquired unit.
Can anyone think of any other reason a DMX signal would be ignored.
I have checked that both units have the jumper on dmx universe one.
I did power cycle the aether II's also, one came back on as blue, the other one changed from all white to red, and stayed red after the next power cycle.
Thanks
Alan
