Problem resolved. Ed at J1SYS recommended increasing the speed to 3000 from the default 750. That solved the issue. I didn't have the issue with the P12R, but I was using different pixels than I am for this matrix. According to Ed, the speed has to be 5x the actual speed for the clocking of...

I purchased a P12S to complement my P12R. I have used FastEddy's P12R manual to configure the new controller. Some features on the P12S are not addressed in the manual, so would like to confirm their settings/use. What are the Port and Strobe Configurations used for? Can they be left with...

Sean, Just downloaded and installed 3.4.10 and having a problem I thought you might not know about yet. Couldn't find a link to e-mail you directly. Don't know if others are having this problem or not, but, I open a sequence, select "create random effects," and then "play." The sequence plays...

Well, now I can get to the Effect, but when I left click to generate a LOR lms file, I get the following error for every line: "Warning: Division by zero in /users/meighan.net/htdocs/nutcracker/effects/make_lor.php on line 451"

It has been a while since I played with Nutcracker, but I have finally erected my pixel tree and was trying to generate some effects to test it out. I have been able to create a target model, but when I try to generate an effect, I receive this warning message. "Warning...

Trust me, once the wife finds out, Australia will not be far enough away!

Guess I am living proof that one can't see the forest for the trees. As soon as I read the responses, the light turned on. After two days of staring at it and rereading the guide, I was only looking at the trees! (Of course,I don't have many trees to look at here in the middle of the...

I am trying to set up my ECG-P12R for a 24 string mega tree. I am attempting to use two 42 pixel strings per network. The plan is to run 42 pixels up the tree and then another 42 down to make two strands. This is the string configuration that I have entered: ACT: Checked STRING TYPE...

Let me see if I understand this now. This is my first year with pixels and E1.31 and I plan to do a mega tree this year (and a globe next season). I have both the ECG-P12R and the E681, but not sure which I will use this year for the mega tree. Am I correct in the assumption that I can...

In the Nutcracker Effects Builder, there are the following questions: " **How many Strings will be in your tree:" and " [/size]**How many strands will you make out of each of your strings?" [/size]I have (what I would consider strings but will call them lengths here) 24 lengths of 42 pixels...

Rather than building a mega tree or rectangular matrix, I was wondering if anyone has thought about building a globe/ball and using Nutcracker with it. I envision something along the lines of the globe used at Disneyworld Epcot for Illuminations. Could the globe pixels be laid out for...

Actually, I am trying to avoid a new computer. My show computer last year without pixel control was a 4 core and it worked great. I didn't want to have to upgrade again and it sounds like I am OK. From some of the posts I was reading, I was beginning to get the impression that I needed...

I will be using pixel control with LOR this year for the first time and am confused over the selection of a multi-core processor for my computer. Would it be better to use a six core processor with a higher speed or an eight core processor with a lower speed? For example, a six core at 4.1GHz...

I have a ECG-P12R, but cannot find any documentation regarding its use. The link on the website at http://www.j1sys.com/ethcongateway-documentation/ is blank. Can someone point me in the right direction to find the documentation for configuration and use? The ACL ECG-P12R manual is now...
