And the other. [attachimg=1]

Hi Gerry,

Hi Gerry, Interestingly testing the first 300 channels only allows me to run the two strings of 50 nodes that are connected to the first two outputs on the Pixlite board. However I only get output to the Halloween face (which is off the MEGa60 board through the DMX output on the Pixlite) if I...

Hi Gerry, The only time anything lights up is when I run the test function. Then the two strings connected to first two outputs on the Pixlite and the seven strings running out of the MEGa all start flashing. Selecting only 511 and running test does nothing. Yes using output to lights...

Thanks for the assistance Gerry. I've only just started my foray into lighting so thanks for your patience. I've updated the firmware (didn't know 1.4.8 was released) but that has made no difference. Have now set colour to white which has changed everything to white when in test mode but...

Model Setup [attachimg=1]

Pixlite Screen

Hi Gerry. "One fashion or another" referred to the sequence of the tests starting at output 2 on the Pixlite then channel 1 which I don't understand. The dumb pixels certainly light up under test output. One of the tutorials somewhere advised this set up as a starting point so that what I did...

Luke, I have switched to Xlights, plugged in both dumb nodes to the Mega60 and RGB pixels to the Pixlite. Using the test function I can generate output to all the light in one fashion or another but when running a sequence through DMX to the Mega I get no response. If your offer still stands...

Thanks Luke. I will wait for the pixels to turn up and then I might take you up on your offer to call if I still can't get any output. Cheers

Hi Luke. Have checked the jumpers and yes, set for ESTA. Used the onboard test function of the Mega60 and confirmed the led strips are wired correctly and they light up so no issues there either. Other than turning on the DMX output within the Advatek assistant is there anything more that I...

Thanks Luke. I've tried with Xlights and still get nothing. So, back to basics. I believe both the Pixlite (3.4) and the Mega60 come pre-wired for DMS? I'm using a standard ethernet patch cable. Set the DMX out on the Pixlite to Universe 2 Mega60 start address is 1. Am I missing something?

Hi all. I have a Pixlite 16 but am waiting on Ray Wu to send out some RGB pixels to have a play with it so in the meantime I thought I would run a DMX line out to a AAHMEGA60 board and run some dumb RGB stripes. So, I set up DMX output 1 to Universe 2 in the Advatek assistant and set start...

Thanks Scamper and i13. I will pull them all out over the next few months and see what can be used within a low voltage set up. There are certainly plug packs galore but I never took any notice if their output was DC or AC. I have been building up my "kit" for only a dozen years but there is a...

Thanks for the welcome and advice so kindly given so far everyone. Please assume I have hit the "like" button on each of your comments. I have opened the 101 manual on another screen and will start trolling trough it as suggested. I asked about 240v Vs dc as it seems a shame to put aside all the...
