Data lights on, but no output
« on: November 11, 2012, »
I have used this exact same setup three years running and have had no problems.  Same show computer too.  I have all 10 LE's hooked up in the garage and all of the data lights are on but when I play the sequence nothing happens.  I had to format the hard drive on the computer about 6 years ago and have reinstalled the CDM 2.04.16 driver.  Am I forgetting something.  running XP

Did you enable output and or configure your dongle?

Sorry I don't have more to give, I don't use LSP

Make sure your dongle is set up correctly in LSP IE: correct COM Port, baud rate = 115200, 8,N,1  If your using the sequencer, make sure the output is turned on (the plug is lit). If that all checks out then check out your cat5 cable from your dongle to your first Express.  You might want to download RJ DMX deck to check things out and make sure you are getting a signal to the Expresses You are not allowed to view links.

After many hours I have gotten the lights to come on.  for some reason they will not play when I am using Light show pro.  But when I run the show through the scheduler it works just fine.  That was a close one.  Thanks to all that gave me some advise.  Hope that helps someone in the future

You have to make sure the OUPUT is on in the LSP sequencer to output to the lights. (click on the little plug in the top line so it is orange)
