HLS Sequencer - Beta - Free to use

[Greg in Canby]

Would some one with entec pro >clone coding be so kind as to help Joe get the usb >dmx supported.

thanks.

Just got here and don't know much about . . . anyway, I have an ENTEC Pro I can test with and try to determine how it all communicates. I get home tomorrow and will begin to dig out the parts and download HLS.

Entec Pro and Entec Open and RPM's DMX all communicate via the FTDI interface.

I ordered a USB to Serial dongle from Amazon to run my reflow oven. It will be here Wed.

It's the same interface required for the DMX communication.

I'll have these interfaces up and running by next week.

Hello Joe
Rj's Lynx Dongle uses this FTDI interface which is identified as Entec Pro in Vixen.

Hope this helps.

For the "Pro" versions - the user can elect to use a "Virtual Com Port" or can instruct me to use the FTDI DLL interface.

Joe have a question,
Learning the HLS software ver 4c. Made two RGB tree groups. In the Sequence editor screen, can I display all channels in all groups at the same time? If so how? Also in the Edit Sequence Paint screen can all groups be displayed in preview simulation screen design and playback?
I like the HLS software.
Great job!

Jess , goto manage channels / select channels to work on . you need the select the channels - group or groups to work by check mark .

in paint , the groups / channels you have chosen to work on will be displayed , select a pen to draw and use the arrows keys to select a desired channel .

hope this helps , remember to hit the save button often .

Added a short how to video , to save your channel layout for your next sequence .

Ok, I decided to give this a try but I can't seem to get the hardware interface to work. I though somewhere this was a list of supported hardware. Anyway, will HLS work with the LOR USB485B interface or am I spinning my wheels.

BTW, It uses the FT232R USB UART with the LOR drivers that come with it and those work with xLights and LOR.

Joe,
The Enttec Open and Pro will require seperate Output modules.
See this file for the OPEN http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/o...1.zip?download

See this file for the PRO http://www.enttec.com/download/pro_example_v2.zip
