Losing DMX connection

Post by nizer »

I am having a issue the last three shows where I loose DMX right when I am about to start the show.

It works fine in rehearsal and pre show, but right when I am ready to walk on stage NOTHING!!!!

The only way to bring it back is to Quit LXConsole and restart.

I am using a Ethernet ODE interface but it has been working fine. I have changed all cables but it still happens.

Do you have an ethernet button in the toolbar to make it obvious when ethernet is connected? It could be simply that the ethernet got shut off. This can happen on a sending error or if you change settings in the preferences.

DMX out stopping

I do have that button visible in the set up. I got the latest version and hope it is related to Artnet and the ODE interface.

I can't seem to recreate it now. It only happens right when I walk on stage.

DMX drop issue

I think the software update fixed this. I also added a test button to confirm DMX is happy.
