Pixels will not Sequence

[garyjac1]

G'Day All,

Here's the outline of my problem.

I set up some RGB sequences with LightShowPro (Ver 2.5) about 7 months ago and put them aside.

I took a few hours today to get out the lights (and my diagrams from back then) and physically set up a couple of strings of RGB pixels.

Two RGB strings of RGB pixels with 100 pixels in each.
Set as universes 1 and 2 on a ECG-P12R
Hardware config: Type: WS2801 Speed:1000kbps Uni 1 - Start Slot 1 - Pixel Count 100
Type:WS2801 SPeed:1000kbps Uni 2 - Start Slot 1 - Pixel Count 100

Both unis set active in hardware and test pattern runs correctly identifying each universe by relevant number of white pixels (one and two respectively)

In sequencing software [LSP v2.5] (Configure Controller Output Plugin)

E1.31 Config Wizard: Uni 1 Start: 1 Size: 300
Uni 2 Start:301 Size: 300

...both set Active

In the LSP software I set up a simple "shimmer" effect across all 200 pixels for about 5 secs to check the setup and ... you guessed it ... no lights...

To add injury to insult, when I load up a sequence from a few months ago, and change NOTHING in the E1.31 setup or in the hardware config, I get a light show. Admittedly, not entirely correct, since the uni config is a little different, but still, a light show, that has recognisable resemblance to the old sequence (e.g. a spiral pattern for a tree).

Aaaaaaargghhhhh!! Clearly, this has to be something obvious and simple, but I need an external pair of eyes to point out the stupid bit.

All suggestions gratefully accepted.

Regards,
Gary

shouldnt your second string in p12r config start with 301...its what you have in sequencer

 

[garyjac1]

In the sequencer software, the strings start at 1 and 301 respectively, that's the E1.31 configuration that's a plugin for the LSP V2.5 software. In the hardware config on the ECGP12R board that's actual pixels 1 to 100.

 

[jediknight2]

In your hardware config, you show starting at channel one for universe 2...

I do, this is exactly the configuration approach published in the manual and which I have used before. The confusing thing is that it does nothing with a new sequence but does work with older sequences?
