Hello

I have 3 d-light acx16s. I have put them together and did the test and all seems ok. I am having trouble getting the show i created to go to the lights/controller.

For the purpose of learning, right now I only have 1 controller connected to my computer. Can anyone help me? I figure that it has something to do with configuring the device settings. I have assigned the connected controller to be unit # 3.

Thanks for any help

Chris

Have you gone into the "Settings-> Serial Configuration" at the top fo the menu and add the network settings?

You'll want the Network option to be set to 1 and the Comport setting to match what you use when testing your controllers with the Hardware Utility from D-Light.

Leave the rest of the settings at the defaults (data rate at 56000).

Once you've done that, just make sure that when you add your controller/channels in Aurora that you set the correct device to match your controller, the network to be 1 and the Device # to match what you set using the Hardware utility.

Once you've done that, it should work just fine using either the sequencer or the scheduler. Oh ya, when trying to test using the sequencer, make sure you click on the light bulb to send it out to the lights (it should turn red). If you don't do that, it will only show on your computer.

Hope that helps.
