LOR S6 Advanced?

Did you get your REN32 working with the bridge?
I was wondering if you used DMX firmware or Renard.
Did you try reloading firmware yet?

I haven’t had a free second to even look at it. We moved, and I’ve got hardware spread across two sheds and an attic. I haven’t been able to locate the pic programmer. I can see it in a box, in my mind… it even has a note on the box “PIC programmer, do not lose or throw away!!!” Rain is scheduled for tonight and Thursday, so I guess I need to take some time and find it. I believe I used DMX firmware when I programmed it an built the case, with the bridge in it. It was controlling my Candy Cane SSRs just fine then. I’ll update when I start to troubleshoot.

I FOUND IT! The PicKit3 was in the box I knew for sure it wasn’t in! Now I just have to find: my notes on what to do, and time to do it.

I havent used LOR or Superstar in many years.. Superstar is intended for a pixeltree or matrix. Last time I used was 6-7 years ago to create a SUP to import into xLights. This is all Superstar sequences to show what it can do https://www.holidaysequences.com/16-...nces-s/133.htm

I think it’s been updated and does quite a bit more now. When I selected a 10 second portion of a motion effect row, it displayed the prop (a 50 pixel Shamrock.) I tried to use the instant sequence tool with no understanding of how it works, and one of the requirements was to add a media file. The main sequence was an animation, so… The next step is to view Brian’s YouTubes. When life isn’t going 160+mph… I’ll merge into that.

Well, it wasn’t a great day. Woke up to the Mac Mini DOA. Dawn took it to the Genius Bar and a 21 month old machine is almost as much to fix, as it is to buy a new one. That ends any possible investment in upgraded pixels this year.

Another day another fail. Bought 2 cases from another LOR user. My goal was to move a newer CTB-16B-K into an older style case. Then I'd have two of the fat newer cases to use for DC cards. Built the case with the LOR DC controller and hooked up a RGB spotlight I got from Lowes on clearance 3 years ago and modified to hook up directly to the DC card. It was clearly marked 12VDC (by me) so no doubt I tested it to make sure it wasn't 5VDC right? Powered it all up, pretty RGB light flickering on the wall to a test sequence... ...ww what's that smell? Oh no! Magic smoke!!! The following attempt to get it out of the house before the smell was everywhere... I snapped a MOSFET off of the board. Sometimes I wonder how I'm able to safely get out of bed in the morning.

BTW, the MAC is fixed. But now I'm poor again.
