Title: active hub lost third universe of pixelnet?
Post by: duane.mosley on December 24, 2015,

lots of rain last night before i got home to shut down the lights. i seem to have lost pixelnet universe 3 off of my main active hub. i am currently set up with etd-active hub-zues-zues. if i remove the active hub from the equation and just go straight to my zues, they both work. if i connect the active hub back in line, universe 2 works on  zues 1 universe 2 but zues 2 universe 3 does not. 

to save another thread, i also lost dmx output on one of my lynx express controllers. input works fine and output 1 works fine but not dmx output 2?

thanks

Sounds like the one of the MAX chips on the active hub and a 485 chip on the Express.

i was getting the same problem from a spare active hub i had in the garage. i pulled both zues in the garage today and reflashed all the pics and reprogrammed and all work fine. i also replaced the 485 chip on the zues boards so not sure which fixed it but it is working now. i ran a dmx line off the spare hub to pick up the lost dmx for my aethers, i figure the show won't be on much longer so it'll be good for now.
