E1.31 and LOR

[yzguy96]

nevermind i had the phone app...hope i didnt short my strip cause lights are off now.

 

[yzguy96]

yes pointing away and they are the WS2811IC strips

I have found with the 2811 strip that if you plug these in whilst power is on then it will damage the first pixel and you will get no output

 

[yzguy96]

great, so i have to cut that one out? I just plugged a different strip in and did not use a pigtail this time. I set davids app to 10.10.10.10 but nothing is happening. I just remembered I have the J jumpers on the P2 set...do i need to remove those?

 

[fasteddy]

Which jumpers are those?

For operation at 12vdc you should only have the jumpers on K3 for 1-2 and 3-4.

If you have jumpers set on O1 then i would remove these as this will set the P2 into boot mode

does he need a straight thru or crossover cable as he is connecting directly to his pc


you should be able to open a cmd window and use ping 10.10.10.10 and get a reply

the J jumpers on the two outputs like the doc said, I believe on 2,3?

 

[yzguy96]

yes i can ping and even connect to the P2 through browser. I am using Davids app and it doesnt seem to work...i changed the ip settings to 10.10.10.10

 

[yzguy96]

i know the P2 is getting the signal from davids app cause when i click idl repeat i see the network activity on the P2 increase as the green light flickers on/off. So maybe i need to remove those jumpers on the output end for each universe? I did the scenario with the 12V although it says 12V out to pixels I am not doing that..I supply power seperate.

Scenario	K2	K3	J1	J2
5V supply into K1 (3.5mm 2x)	Open	2-3	Open	Open
7V-40V supply into K1	Open	1-2, 3-4	Open	Open
5V supply into K1 with 5V out to pixels	Open	2-3	1-2	1-2
12V supply into K1 with 12V out to pixels	Open	1-2, 3-4	2-3	2-3
7V-40V supply into K1 with 5V out to pixels	Open	1-2, 3-4	1-2	1-2
7V-40V supply over P-POE	1-2, 3-4	1-2, 3-4	Open	Open
7V-40V supply over P-POE with 5V out to pixels	1-2, 3-4	1-2, 3-4	1-2	1-2
7V-40V supply back fed through pixel connector	Open	1-2, 3-4	2-3	2-3

I think its time to start taking some photos and some screen shots because it looks like either a hardware config issue or a connection issue.

The only bridges you should have in are 1-2 and 3-4 on K3, the rest should be left open

 

[yzguy96]

great news...i removed the jumpers on J1 and J2 and davids program worked nice. Now I just have to get LOR to work correctly with it.

[yzguy96]

Figured it out...I had to install the driver dll to the usb485 cause I never hooked it up...once i did that then it worked....thanks for helping be get started everyone! I am sure I will have more questions but Im slowly getting there.
