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
