I am very confused. I have a netbook that I have used all last season for testing using xlights and a USB dongle flashed with pixelnet. Now I am trying to test with the etherdongle. Win7 x32, xlights 2.b I have communicated with the etherdongle using xlights 2a so I know te ED works. My networks show as follows (I no longer get a number choice like I did in previous versions of xlights but the config window still indicates select a row by number to change it).
I have one active hub with 8 SSCS controlling 8 flexstrips for this test. Everything works perfect with the usb dongle.
e1.31 multicast 1 512
pixelnet com3 n/a 4096
When I bring up xlights and select the middle selection of "Schedule & Test" I get a scheduler window, but no tester option that I can find anywhere. Something is wrong, but I do not know what. In 2012a I get the tester window, but get an error when I bring it up that says that dmx only supports 512 channels., but I can still turn some lights on with the tester, but not all of them.
Will try with my new Win7x64 laptop while waiting for any ideas from this group. I am just starting to load all my Christmas stuff on the laptop.
