Hi all,
I am new to this forum, but have been using LOR on a windows laptop for 10+ years. Long story short, but I want to transfer my show design and control to a Macbook. I stumbled across xLights and have been playing around with it for about a month. I have a LOR USB to 485 converter, and an Entec DMX Open USB box. They are connected via a USB-c dongle. The LOR USB to 485 connects to 3 16 channel controllers, and the Entec connects to a DMX universe with DMX boards controlling RGB LED strips.
I have managed to get xLights to connect to the LOR controller and control lights in the test window, but I for the life of me cannot get the Entec dongle to communicate with the DMX board on the Macbook version of xLights. The status lights on the DMX board do not signal communication with the computer. To verify the controller is working on the Mac I installed QLC+ and managed to get that to detect and communicate with the DMX board. I then backtracked to the old windows laptop and with xLights on that I managed to get xLights to communicate with the DMX board, so it appears the issue lies in the Mac version of Xlights?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
