Hi All, Eventually worked it out - I wasn't actually doing anything wrong - I had a dodgy Ethernet port on my computer that eventually crashed during testing. New computer and new port and it all works. Thank you all!

Hi Speedie, What was your solution? I seem to be having a similar problem. Thanks!

Does anyone have any notes/videos on reversing pixels (via effects) in the ECG P2? Basically I have the following set up: Universe 5 - 3 x strings (150 pixels) Universe 6 - 1 x string (50 pixels) and 2 x Icicles (120 pixels) Universe 7 - 2 x Icicles (120 pixels) Universe 8 - 2 x Icicles (120...

Thanks Al - knew I could count on you. I have set up the controllers so now that I have done that, do I just go into LOR Advanced Network Settings and set up Universes 1 - 8 with the first controller IP Address (e.g. 10.10.10.8) and Universes 9 - 16 with the second controller IP Address (e.g...

We have added an additional P2 controller this year (Ethernet cable from computer to router and Ethernet cables from router to two controllers). We use LOR for sequencing. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to set up two controllers correctly (including IP addresses, etc.)? Do...

Yay - wireless off fixed the issues!! Show ran perfectly tonight for the first time (stopped early due to rain again though). Now just for some minor tweaking........... Thanks AAH and ShellNZ and everyone else for your help fault finding this gremlin!

What a coincidence - thanks AAH! So I should always have wi-fi disabled on the show laptop during the show? I had the same issue with not being to access via 10.10.10.10 while it was happening so sounds identical. I was pulling my hair out because testing during the day worked fine but as soon...

Hi Everyone - still having problems >:( I have attached the error message I get each night when we try to run our show. It works perfectly in the day when we test then each night the smart RGB strings won't work and I receive these errors. We have only tried running it the last 2 nights and...

For those interested in the outcome - wasn't a power injection issue. It appears to be a problem with the RGB strings talking to the RGB strips (and vice versa). In isolation both work fine, I had it set up as string, strip, string, strip, etc. and whilst the string appeared to talk to the...

Ok - so it's not the power that is an issue and we've found that the first two lights of the next string in line light up. It is not a problem with that string (swapped out and the same happens). So I'm thinking it must be the way I've set up either the P2 or the LOR. I have re-watched videos...

On the off chance that it is not a T-Piece (although from the responses this seems the most likely source of the issue) any other suggestions on what could be the problem? The T-Pieces seem to test OK but hubby said he will make up three from scratch (or at least one and we'll test that...

Thanks everyone - looks like hubby will be making three T's from scratch for us today!!

I am using a P2 with power injection. The first 75 RGB lights work OK but from where the power injection is, no more strips/pixels will light up. Could something be wrong with the T-Pieces I am using? I have 1 x 350W 12V power supplying the P2 and the first two strings, then a second power...

Sorry guys for not updating. Well the neighbour kept ringing the police every night (two or three times a night) for the month of December. A friend who monitors the police scanner says it ran hot every night with dispatch calling the local police and the local police saying they would not be...

So sorry to hear that Kane :( We had our display vandalized last year and it is truly heartbreaking. It actually resulted in me turning paranoid with other "visitors" to the display after that - every noise I heard outside turned into a potential vandal. I went out in my pyjamas one night and...
