I have 3 of the DMX512 decoders (silver boxes) that decode ws2811 (or 2801). I purchased the HC302 channel selector to set the starting addresses of each. (2 on 1 univ, 1 on another) each using 150 channels.
1st, didn't know unless I did something wrong in LOR, if I program addr. 101, by 1st channel is 102. SO I program it to 100 and I get 101 controlled in LOR. They work fine, LOR can control the strings fine.
2nd they only do RGB. My pixel strips were BRG so I had to remap every channel in the RGB channels of LOR, but it works.
Here is the question. Why when I power them off, and back on later, do they default back to channel 1?
Any one have this issue? Or am I once again doing something wrong?
You power up the channel selector, connect DMX to Decoder, power up the decoder with a string on it, set the ones, tens, hundreds, and confirm, they flash 888, the string comes on, and you are done. unplug the dmx and plug back into the universe, and power cycle the decoder and ready to use. They work fine at the address set.
however, power them off again for more than 2-3 sec and they default back to DMX channel 1.
Help!
