Hi,
Just got my DMX2-18 today form Alan. Just a question re the setup of this device in xLights.
I will connect it to the F16V3 DMX port (#2 I have read is preferred). I currently run the standard FPP Pi gateway to the F16V3.
When I add the controller in xlights, I select Vendor and Model number, But what port do I select? the only option currently is not connected or the Bluetooth port on my mac. See attachment for screenshot.
I have set up 2 single pixel strings in my layout to start with. I then went to the Visualise screen for the DMX2-18 and dragged these to the Serial Port 1 controller. The first String connected, but I got an error "ERR: Invalid protocol on serial port 1: dmx" and I can't drag the second string across.
So I am assuming I have done something wrong here
Sorry first time playing with DMX
thanks
Scott
