Do you happen to have the same AntiVirus, OS, or other software installed on both computers? Are they both the same model of computer? Are you using the front or rear USB port? You aren't using a hub, right?
Wil Aurora wirk in Windows safe mode? If it does, do you get lag?

This is correct. Aurora sends all of the data down the line regardless of what controllers are actually present. Edited by LightsOnLogan - 12 Dec 2009 at 7:01pm |

Network saturation isn't an easy calculation. The protocol has built in ways to combine events on multiple channels into a single command if the conditions are correct. It's really quite efficient.
A future version will do such notifications. |

This would mean that if was the sequence brunessa should have seen issues with only one controller hooked up. Michael and I have been communicating as well about the issue. We feel that it has something to do with drivers, but it has lagged for me with two computers now. What are the odds that TWO configurations fail for me while all of you are not having problems.
Oh the joys of Christmas light animation!

To the best of my knowledge, the adapters are only communicating one direction during playback. So even if you only have one controller hooked up, it's still broadcasting all the channel data for every controller.

Carey, I ran the sequence for about 5 hours with no problems at all. I do not think the problem is the sequence. By the way, your sequencing is great. When testing I only used one controller. I noticed that you have a lot of fast events. I wonder if you might be saturating your network with that may channels and that quick of events? Can you break up yor network into two different ones and see if that helps? |

The links are at the beginning of this thread. If you need the audio file, let me know. Thanks!

Ok.... I got my Dell laptop updated and working with Aurora and have started tonight's show with it. It started out fine (no lag), but in the first hour it had crashed twice, and now it has begun to lag. Ssssooooo...... Using the process of elimination, the only two things that were common from last night and tonight is the sequences/audio files, and all the hardware besides the computer. I guess I will start replacing the easy stuff first - cables. It would be nice if someone else could give my problem sequence a try, just to be sure it is not the sequence. Any takers? The problem will be that it works fine for a while (two hours tonight).

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's back.
 see - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dSsLuEqWFkI did not run the show last night because most of my extension cords were under water. But tonight, I came home and the lag was back. Just as bad, or worse than before.
I don't understand. I checked the drivers (just in case my wife was trying to play a cruel trick on me!). The only thing I can think that I did when it started working right was to restart the computer/scheduler after the driver updated.
So just now, I checked scheduler MEM usage. It was at 58MB. So I stopped the show, closed scheduler, unpluged-replugged usb adapter, started scheduler, and started the show..... LAG FREE. Scheduler MEM usage when I started the show was at 38MB. For one loop thru the show, MEM usage never went over 40MB. I have no idea if this tells us anything, but I don't know what else to look for.
FWIW, I manually start scheduler/transmitter/controllers every night and turn everything off after every show at night. So its not like it has been running for days. And I am still using the 76.exe version
Any ideas Michael?
Carey
