Folks,
I'm trying to get my Etherdongle working.
Running it on i7, 8G RAM, Windows 7 Professional,LSP 2.0
I have two Active Hubs and the smart string controllers (14 on first hub, and one on 2nd hub) connected to the active hubs.
When running the tests using the LSP sequencer via two USB dongles, all works well.
So I built the Etherdongle, flashed Pixelnet (etherdongle Firmware) powered it up and plugged it into a Wireless Access Point.
The green ethernet light comes on and the yellow activity light flashes occasionally and the power LED is green, so all is well so far.
I followed the set up guide that Mickpat posted to the forum and made sure I follwoed his guide to set the Etherdongle up in LSP.
The connection from my Laptop is as follows:
PC - > Wireless connection - > Etherdongle
Etherdongle connected to my Wireless router via Ethernet (on the Magjack port)
Other ethernet port on the Ethernet Dongle connected via Cat5 -> Pixel Net input on 1st hub
Second hub connected to 1st hub with ethernet Cat5 cable via Pixelnet out on 1st hub to pixelnet input on second hub
Pixelnet Jumpers on 1st hub set to 1 and 1 (Pixelnet, not DMX)
Pixelnet Jumpers on 2nd hub set to 2 and 2 (Pixelnet, not DMX)
All outputs are set in LSP correctly for all 16 LED flexstrips
Then if I play the sequence in LSP, the yellow activity light flashes rapidly on the etherdongle and my wireless access point as the data is sent wirelessly from my Laptop, so communications from the PC to the Etherdongle seems to be working fine.
Just no output from the lights from the Hubs (green LED on the Hubs are working). Tried swapping cables etc, but nothing fixes the problem.
I think I must be missing something simple here.
Any ideas what I should try, I'm wondering if the Wireless Access Point isn't broacasting the data, but the yellow activity lights flash rapidly on the etherdongle and Access point when playing the sequence in LSP.
