A little help please.

Ok let they that.

When you down load firmware were should the jumper on the SSC board?

[rrowan]

The jumper doesn't effect the Pickit3 programming (adding/removing) of the firmware on the PIC on the SSC

The jumper is only used (both pin jumped together) when making changes to the SSC (start address, node type, node qty, etc)

The Jumper is off when running the SSC (lights blinking)

OK. Thanks

What are the readings on the SSC utility program.

Is this correct?

They look good to me.  Your start channel for the string will be 1 and they are using hybrid mode.  If that is your configuration, then your settings are correct.

Make sure your start channel matches what is in your sequencing software for those lights. And change the node count to however many lights are on your string. With the way your settings are now channels 1,2, and 3 will be all red, all green, and all blue and the individual node control begins on channel 4.

I have no idea what you said Kieth.

I'm just trying to fix the system first. Nothing works right now.

[sittinguphigh]

No go guys. No blinky.

Maybe the next step would be to plug in my working dmx dongle and express to make sure the computer is working fine.

Then reprogram my dongle for pixelnet  and hook it up. That way we can see if computer and etherdongle is OK.

We already know the strings are OK.

Yes, let us know how it goes with the USB dongle.

[sittinguphigh]

OK guys. I take it by the silience nobody knows what to do.
I have hooked up my DMX dongle and express that works.
I just a need a little help adjusting the COMP.
This is a  new computer and I have forgotten how I
match up the USB port.
I have down loaded FTDI USB drivers.
Things went different then the on line instructions.
Hopefully I did it right.

Can't get past matching up the comp USB port.

This is the error messages.
I have seq. lights to music set up from last year.
All ready to test my computer.

[sittinguphigh]

Let me know what to do?

Looks like the Dongle is COM3.  In Vixen configure the output plug in for 115200, 8 bits no parity one stop bit.

[sittinguphigh]

Like this.
Still have error messages.

[pk]

Be sure that DMX is not selected in ADD-INS

What error are you getting?  Exit and restart Vixen too.

[sittinguphigh]

Did that already. Still not working.
Same errors as above 189 post.
