I am guessing you need to use the DMX output from the 16 port active hub. The dmx module would not work with the pixelnet data.

The DMX mirrors one 512 channel block of pixelnet depending on which position is jumper end.
Pic needs to be programmed...

Two choices. Either use the DMX out on the Hub or reflash the ED to use DMX vs. PixelNet.

I ran my coro stuff with pixelnet USB last year, and I've repeated it with pixelnet EtDs this year.
first, make sure your 3-channel controllers are properly set with a starting channel number. You can use a DMX dongle, or a test cable to check it out.
as the others have said... if using a pixelnet dongle (USB or EtD), you need to translate the pixelnet protocol to DMX, and to do so requires using the Smart Hub. It will mirror a page of the 4096 pixelnet channels so that you have 512 of them available as DMX channels.
The DMX channels will still be numbered in the range of 1-512... even though you might have them mirrored from a page anywhere in the 4096 channels. For example: DMX channel 1 could be pixelnet channel 1025 if you selected the 3rd DMX universe (page).
