[QUOTE="boofo, post: 122391, member: 36030"] Hey All Feeling a bit stupid but I can't get these lights controlled with the Hanson DMX2-18 controller. Main objective is to sync all the lights with a twinkle effect but am definitely interested in pushing the limits if it can do more. [USER=25027]@OzAz[/USER] tells me perhaps [USER=321]@speedy1[/USER] or [USER=33949]@christmasdave[/USER] may be able to shed some light on this... or perhaps [USER=543]@AAH[/USER] maybe you could offer some directions Things done so far... 1. Got Power supply / USB DMX Adaptor and Computer talking to the lights (kinda) 2. All lights test fine with da_tester 3. Assuming xLights is the best software to control these I just can't seem to add the lights correctly. 4. xLights is set up with the controller I assume correctly as data transmits to the DMX2-18 controller and the data light flashes as though it's receiving data. 5. xLights is super confusing and I'm fairly tech savvy (I like to think) 6. Images of xLights and hardware setup (excuse the lights haven't plugged all in yet 7. At some stage I got some control in the sequence window but now lost that Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
