A little help please.

Ok, this router supports Multicast so lets write the DMX firmware to the Etherdongle and plug the etherdongle into the router to see if we can get it to work with the LE.

[sittinguphigh]

So I plug in the ED and LE into the router?
Then how do I get my PC to connect to the ED?

Have to feed and take care of the horses. Be back in about an hour.

PC talks to the ED through your network.

[lonewolf41]

You connect wirelessly to your router.  The ED is connected to your router with a cable so you communicate with the ED through your router.  Plug your LE into your ED, not the router.  You are essentially using your router as an intermediary between your computer and ED since your port is bad.

I believe they make USB to CAT5 network adapters.  That might be another option as well to get you another network port to use.  At least you can get your gear configured and make sure that everything else is working by using the router.

Good luck,

OK. I used the laptop and between shut downs. The ED works with the LE. Ya
So I'm going to program the ED to pixelnet. Then program the SSC lights.
I did buy a separate pci ethernet adapter for the new PC.
Things are coming together. Thanks guys

It's alive.

Now rewire the smart strings and x-lights.
Not sure I programmed the SSC lights correct I used etherdongle, hybird,forward,128, 0, 1 string.
Sean said he could get nutcracked to do what I want it to do.

[keitha43]

I wouldn't use hybrid mode if using nutcracker. I don't think it accounts for the extra 3 channels of string on for each color. And are you using strings 128 nodes long? If not choose the number that matches your string length.

It has been a long road, but I am very happy to know that it is working and you are closer to getting it running the way you wanted.

Your commitment to getting this going is awesome and all the help you received from people makes me proud to say I am part of the DLA community.

I have followed this from the beginning and I must say  for the helpful people of this community. and  to you Sittinguphigh for keeping with it until you finally saw the lights (litterally)!

Working on finishing up the SSC utility smart strings.
When this is done. I have some ideas from a person who really didn't know the system until I went threw this.
Maybe it will help people going threw some thing like this again.

Thank you all for your patience. You never one gave up on me. That says some thing about the people in DLA site.

[sittinguphigh]

Now were from here?

x-lights
Vixen

What's the steps now?

[sjb]

Have you got anything sequenced yet with Vixen?

If you do and your strings are ready to go, then it is time to put the sequences and music onto the conductor and you are ready to go. I do not have a Etherdongle or conductor. So I will have to sit on the sidelines from here and let someone else help you with that.

Have fun and I cannot wait to see your videos. 

Steve

[sittinguphigh]

I do not have any sequence.

Sean said he was going to help me with nutcracker. He said would not need vixen.
But he said that I need to use xlight first.
I think he wanted me to test the lights first.
