LTC Launcher in Vixen

[JEEPGUY]

Tim,

I just finished up building my LEDTricks panel, replaced the failed LED's and got the voltage toned down to 4.xx with the IN4001 diode.

I 've gotten LTC to work from a command prompt (using com5) and messed around with it a bit.

Now finally trying to get the launcher working in Vixen. Read the Triks Controller Manual and have set up a txt file for the led sequence. I've also copied the latest ver of LTC to the sequence directory and created the Triksc.dat file and set the com port to 5 again, gone into vixen and set my profile, and added the directory to the launcher plugin. When I run the sequence and vixen turns on the channel the Command prompt screen flashes, however it is so fast I can't see what's on the screen. I still get no response on the LED board.

I'm using Vixen 2.1

Any suggestions?

Hi Jeepguy

Usually when there's an LTC error it holds the screen open for a bit. So my initial guess is that the error is that vixen can't find the file (so LTC isn't actually starting or there's something missing in the command line).

Are you putting the whole path in the launcher (including the LTC command and options?)

If you've got it working outside of vixen it should be OK - just may need to work through the path and command line details so vixen starts it in the right place.

Tim,

Thanks for the tips. I'm going to retry tonight.

Tim,

My Vixen folder was named Vixen 2.1. I had a space in the folder name. It helps to read the manual a bunch of times to sink in!!! LOL.
