Ok, so I am able to see my Pixlite 16 through the Interface, I can use the TEST mode to change colors on my strips, so the settings on the board are correct. However when I try to play a sequence in LOR, I get nothing. I've got the Pixlite connected directly to my show machine. I am using IP...

Alan or others Do you know where to get replacement output buffers for the Pixlite 16?

Thanks guys. GCAllan this seems to be exactly what is going on. Not a fan of swapping out those chips and making things worse. Half a working board is better than no board at this point. I can use this for my arches.

At one point tonight I had all ports working(test mode), now ports 1 through 8 are not. All of the fuses for each port are ok. My PSU's show 12V in the interface. I swapped PSU's from one side to the other as well and still only ports 9 through 16 work. Any help would be appreciated!! Jon

Starzen Was it easy to get your Pi built and configured to run your show? I purchased a Pi recently, but want to use it to control a Matrix that I want to add for next years show.

Thanks Doug, got me back to where I was able to get color again and not just all white. Now I only have 2 strings providing me that color :-[

tuppetsdad - where can you find 36W RGB with inbuilt DMX for ~ $100?

thanks Phil, makes sense. I live in Chicago, so it is a bit chilly for someone to sit in the yard and physically hook up. As anon stated, they would be more inclined to find an unsecured wireless network somewhere in the hood.

Can I ask where and why there would be a security issue on your LAN? Jon

Anyone smell the 'ol Bait N Switch?

So if I get this right, if and when it becomes available for LOR.... if you want more than one E1.31 device, you would have a CAT5 cable from your PC to a multi-port hub (switch). Then from your hub, you would have CAT5 to all your devices? Along the way somewhere between the hub and your...

Were you able to make a deal? Lots of interest!!

Thanks for the clarification and posting Greg.
