trouble setting up artnet universes [fixed]

Post by ameliamnesia »

hi, in v9 i'm using the usb 1024 interface mainly just to run the software, then connecting to my chauvet dmx-an artnet node to run my universes that way. it works in v9 but for some reason i cannot seem to get the same configuration to run in vII. is there something i'm missing in the settings where i can set the universes to be configured this way in vII? here in the attached picture is how i have my lights set up in vII, i have tried setting the fixture universe to 1, 2, and 3 but none of them respond when using the fader section. thanks for any help you can offer!

as a small follow-up, i have tried connecting the same fixtures directly to the interface and they do work so it does not seem to be an issue with the fixture or profile, but in defining addresses/universes

i've attached here my universe setup and a crude drawing of the room, in the screenshot universes 1 and 2 (the stage lights) are being controlled through the DMX-AN unit with each fixture assigned its IP address (10.0.100.100) (this works in v9 but not VII) while universe 3 is house lights connected to the first port of my D1024 unit (works in VII)

Is your artnet port number 6454? (frozen in V_II)

We will do some more Artnet tests and get back to you.

We found an issue in the initialization of Artnet at startup. It will be fixed in the next version.
In the meantime, clicking in an "Artnet IP" field in "Fixtures" should unlock the Artnet output.

thank you for the response, i'm a little confused about where you say "clicking in an artnet ip field in fixtures", do you mean the part in my first screenshot where it's set to 10.0.100.100? so far that hasn't had any effect even if i switch it to universe 2 or 3. on my DMX-AN unit the outputs are set to run as 0 and 1, which in v9 enables them to work as the first and second universes. should i change this to another value for vII? thank you again for your work on this, looking forward to getting it running :)

You did not respond regarding your Artnet port number.
No need to change anything from V9. Please let us know if it works with the latest version.
