Hey guys:
Don't know which category this falls under either.  Got all my sequesnces moved to Aurora.  When I ran the test from the AC16 the lights work.  When I start the music they don't.  Did the com port just like in spectrum.  What am I missing to make them work?

Check your controller addressing and be certain they are all set to Network Segment 1, and that your Serial Network Config is also set for Network 1.

Are you simultaneously running a Hardware Controller? (LOR or D-Light)
Are you running the sequencer at the same time?

No, I fixed it.  It was called reboot.  Amazing what happens when you turn a computer off and then back on.Embarrassed
As always, Thx guys

I have a similar issue when I start a new sequence. It wouldn't display to the lights for anything. I had to save, close Aurora and then reopen it to get the lights to activate.

I have also noticed that when I have a sequences open, start a new one and import my channels from the previous one it also leaves the lights programmed to the old sequence even though they don't appear in the new sequence.  Even though the light programming is from the wrong show(the previous one) if you save it, it saves the proper data and if you close and reopen the software it begins with the proper (new) show data loaded.

Ok got this computer up and running.  Now not sure what I'm doing wrong.  Does the Dlight hardware utility have to be running?  It discovers the controller, have everything set to 1 and com3 was assigned to the controller.  Test lights work fine, but no lights when i send it to the controller.  If I close the hardware utility, I have to reenter everything.  Any ideas guys?Confused

I would suspect that if the HWU was running the same time as Aurora was outputting there would be a communications conflict. The D-Light HWU is just an add-on for Aurora and has no bearing on Aurora's functions. If there is a problem using the D-Light HWU with a D-Light controller, then your best bet is the D-Light forums - although we'll try to help here too!
 
How about the Network number? Has that been assigned? You cannot assign a COM port to a controller, btw. Whatever the OS assigns (since windoze, mere humanz no longer have control in this regard) to the RS485 adaptor or WiLink is what the COM port will be.
 
Test lights??Confused Please explain.

Sorry, there is a test button on the controller and when I push it it works.  But when i send the music to the controller is does not.  I will keep trying.  I thought it had something to do with the software.  Thx, I will ask Darryl or one of the guys over there.  They have pretty much run me through all of this.
