    Basic Network Question

    Got my new switch today and hooked everything up to it and it works like a charm. everything connected as it should. Thanks to everybody for your help. I'm sure I'll have more questions as I build my display bigger.

    Basic Network Question

    Its a really old hub. I've got a new switch coming tomorrow. Hopefully that will work. I've got the network discovery turned on and don't have any virus protection running since this laptop rarely has access to the internet. I'll let you know if the new switch works tomorrow. Thanks for your...

The eithernet on my laptop is set for a static IP at 192.168.2.1. That is my show network. All my controllers have static IPs. The BBB...

So, i found an old linksys eithernet hub, hooked it up, but it will only see the FPP controller. The other controller is a J1sys...

    P12S and DMX

    That helps. It lets me know I do have my crossover done right. The LOR document is the same one I was looking at before. But when I try to update my controller, the highest firmware for it is v1.09. I think I read somewhere that the g3 controllers were already DMX ready. So now i guess i'll play...

    P12S and DMX

    Anybody have any ideas. I'm dead in the water here. Seams like the more I read the more confused I get. I did learn that I need a special crossover cable though. Still no lights. the CTB controller isn't connecting to the P12S. i know I'm missing something small.

    P12S and DMX

    I am moving from LOR to XLIGHTS this year. My LOR setup is 5 CTB16PC(g3) ac controllers and 1 P12S controller to control my 12 string pixel tree. So, I can get the P12S to work in XLIGHTS for the pixel tree with no problem but I have no clue how to get the ac controllers to work. I've been...

    New and confused with ECG-P12S

    I will try to get the screenshot up soon. The pixel string is 5v and the power supply is also at 5v. Jumper on the board is set for 5v and the power is connected to the correct side. I have also downloaded the manual for the P12r and been using it for the set up. I also have the dip switch set...
