My Non Blinky LSP adventures.

[Binkles]

Ok this is what I've done.


First of all connected everything, and ran the p2 test pattern - using a single star (5 pixels) as a test.


IP for the P2 is 192.168.1.195.


Loaded up LSP 2.5 (haven't upgraded to 2.8 yet).


Clicked on Options > Configure Outputs


Add Output
E1.31 DMX over Ethernet
Zone/Network 1


Comes up not configured...


Click on configure Output
On the Edit Configured Universe Ranges.
Act - Tick
Universe 1, Start 1, Size 512 Multicast.
30 Effect Generation.
Ok


Main
New Animated Sequence
2 Minutes
1/10 of a second
Next and used default image.


E1.31 Controllers - dragged the E1.31 Controller through to the grid area.
Zone 1
Logical Channels 5
RGB Light Controller (Changes the info to (15 physical R,G,B channels
Controller Protocol E1.31 DMX over Ethernet.
OK


Made a 15 second ramp up on the 5 channels in the grid
Playback > Output highlighted


Play - No lights.


Right Click E1.31 Controller in grid - test hardware - no lights.


Right Click E1.31 Controller in grid - Output.
Changed to Unicast 192.168.1.195


Still no lights.


Ok, in chat for the next hour But yeah.

was this before or after I got lights working for you?


as I said, step one is to get your 2.8 upgrade done.

Otherwise, we should have been fine with the settings I left you with.

Did you turn off the test pattern??? I ran my whole house this year through 1 p2 in LSP.
What have you found wrong so others can learn from this?

With 2.5 if you activate the scheduler without the network switch turned on then it will uncheck all the configured universes as it doesn't see an active network. Check that it hasn't unchecked your universes due to this.

Matt, that was posted before your awesome help.


On 2.8 and it seems to be working, going to hook up some more of my lights to test the transitions etc.


Still not 100% sure of what was wrong! but it's working now.

could have been something as simple as you needed to add the controller again, or draw the elements or start a new animation sequence, glad its working still.
