the green led is on the show no pass, also no work setting start channel utility

thanks i will check tonight under magnifying lamp doesn't look red-yellow-brown to me either i will lift and check with a meter tonight they appear to be red yellow blaack with the naked eye maybe 24 ohms instead of 240 ohms

[mokeefe]

I think all those resistors you are referring to are 1% resistors and use a different color code.  They look like red-yellow-black-black-brown which is a 240 ohm 1% resistor.  I agree the colors don't look completely accurate in the picture, but that may just be a photographic anomaly.  Assuming all these resistors came from a coop, it's unlikely they are incorrect or any 24 ohm resistors even came in the kit.

resistors are 240 ohm lifted one end verified with meter

Maybe you have a bad opto or 485...  Have you tried to switch them around and see if you get anything?  Be careful with them if you try to do this though, and if you don't feel comfortable doing it then please don't.  They can be a pain to get out without bending pins unless you have a set of tools to pull them with.

tried swapping optical isolators and 485 no change
i swapped to a differant computer with a swap cable
i am still at a loss no lights dancing on le but do have data link light on le
do not have dmx light on le
yellow light on magic jack goes solid as soon as control panel is started in lor s3 software
computer shows limited connectivity
yellow light fast flashes on etd when show is playing
green light on etd board is on soilid

Is the ED flashed with Pixelnet or DMX Firmware?

Steve

Sorry, just saw that you answered this previously.

[tbone321]

It really sounds ro me like you are somehow broadcasting on the wrong universe.  Remember that the etherdongle sends out 4 universes of either Pixelnet or DMX depending on the firwmare loaded into it and each universe is being sent on a seperate pair.  If your device is connected to pair one (universe 1) and your data is being sent on pair 2 (universe 2) then this is exactly what will happen.  Also make sure that the ehternet cable connected to the output is ok and NOT a crossover cable.

[sabie]

it is a straight ethernet cat 5 cable i checked it with a tester
also it is the same cable i used with the usb dongle and it worked fine
the software is sending universe 1 as it is the same show i used with usb dongle
the only differance it the network setting in lor s3 is set for e31.1
but i will go back and look again at control panel in lors3

[Jeffl]

I plan to to use the ED with S3 this year and ordered a combiner to split the signal as I plan on using two universes.  I didn't think about using it without.  I'm curious how the pairs work but I would think they would be the same as an LE but this may not be the case.

Sorry, I know that I am new to this and just trying to help, but am I missing something. what DMX light??? The LE's have 19 LED's 1 for each output (16), 1 for 3.3 volt, 1 for 5 volt and the last for Data link
 again I have to ask if there is an issue with your firewall not opening port # 5568

[tbone321]

There are 4 universes and each one is on it's own pair.  Universe 1 is on the same pair that the USB dongle uses.  The combiner would be an excellent debugging tool to see if you are sending data on the wrong universe.

The data light is sometimes referred to as the DMX light.

Yes, but Sabie states the the Data light is on, but the DMX is not

What you may want to do is download and install XLights.  Then you can configure it for the Ehterdongle and set up one universe.  It has a pretty good test mode where you can tell it to flash sections of or the complete universe.  If the Express responds to it with XLights then you will know that there is a configuration issue with S3 and if it still doesn't work, then you know that the probelm is in the EtherDongle somewhere.

just for giggles, assign an IP address to your computer if you're connecting directly to the EtherDongle.

try something like 192.168.1.57
