Mix LOR and DMX

(1/2) > >>

Mickpat:
All of my sequences are in LOR SR 2.  I have 5 LOR controllers and 4 DMX which I would like to control using xLights.  How do I map controllers in LOR to xLight?  Currently in LOR the DMX channels are configered as seperate LOR controllers.   

In xLight, I added the two networks, but the only option I see is last channel.  I don't understand for example how to set Controller 8 which is a DMX controller to the DMX network. 

If this works, this will greatly simplify my workflow.  Thank you.

csf:
do you have a single LOR network? Or is it a LOR network and a DMX Network?

Mickpat:
Two networks.  Lor on one network and dmx using the lynx dongle on another.

csf:
Okay what you need to do is count how many channels you have in each network.

Lets say you have 100 total channels
64 LOR
36 DMX

Set the LOR network to 64 channels
Set the DMX network to 36 channels

Then xlights will map the first 64 channels of the sequence to the LOR network and the next 36 channels to DMX.

If you have any issues just let us knows and we will help work them out.

Mickpat:
Okay, I will try this. 

In your example, the first DMX channel would be #65.  In LOR S2, do I need to worry about setting network type ie, Set DMX controllers to Aux A or is everything done by channel numbers?  How does xLight (or I) know the order of each network?
