It actually works pretty well.
I just used the canned REN based controller that is in the controller library in LSP2 Pro. It is stock as 8 channels.
I will be running 3 Aether2's this year, so I will set it up as a 12 channel
Channel 1 will consist of 3 Logic channels 1,2,3(RGB) for Aether2 No1
Channel 2 will consist of 3 Logic Channels 4,4,4 (W, W, W)
Channel 3 will consist of 3 Logic Channels 4,6,7 (RGB) = Aether2 No2
....etc....
When the REN is set up, need to configure output for RGB control.
Sequencing consists of one row for RGB and one row for white per Aether....played around with it till about midnight and looks pretty nice....Was seeing some serious spots when I was done....
by the way...figured out my issue with the flashing red and the whole Green channel as start channel.
I used the following instruction from the Wiki for the original Aether..
Step 1 - Turn the aether on
Step 2 - Start the utility and start sending the data
Step 3 - Open the glass front on the Aether
Step 4 - Move the jumper and the leds will cycle throught the colors fast (like 1/2 a sec) and stop on white.
Step 5 - Put the jumper back to operate and unplug the aether.
Step 6 - Close the glass door
Step 7 - Shut the utility down.
Step 8 - Plug the aether back in
Well after you posted up the instructions stating not to apply power till step 4 it worked.
If you cycle the Operation/Programming switch(SW2) with power applied, it will cause it to funk up the firmware. I did not screenshot it, but I read the hex after I did so and some of the values were wiped. i reflashed, then tested and everything was good to go. I have not tried to run the lynx express config tool yet to change the addresses, but I have a feeling it should work now.
Thanks for all of the help!!
