Hi all, I wasn't sure where to put this one, so starting here.
I finally have my setup complete, and everything is working properly except this very odd thing...
First, I am running Vixen 2.5.0.8 (yes, i know, most of you just quit reading but I used it flawlessly last year and never had a single problem so am trying again)
I have (2) REN24 SS's this year, and (2) Firegod's.
I am setup like this:
Channels 1-24 -> REN 1
Channels 25-48 -> REN 2 (these are setup on com3 as 1-48 with modified ren in vixen)
Then the firegod's
on Com4:
Firegod 1 -> Channels 49-145 (in the output plugins box, i have the following:
Check box next to use module 1, starting at channel 49
Check box next to use module 2, starting at channel 81
Check box next to use module 3, starting at channel 113
Check box next to use module 4, starting at channel 145
and on Com5:
Firegod 2 -> Channls 177 - 241 (in the output plugins box, I have the following:
Check box next to use module 1, starting at channel 177
Check box next to use module 2, starting at channel 209
Check box next to use module 3, starting at channel 241
Now here's the problem part...
EVERYTHING works EXCEPT channels 65-80 (the second 16 channels on Fieldmodule 1
of the first FG dimmer)
THe first 16 channels work great, and all 32 channels work on every other Field module.
I use the Hard coded address firmware on mine so jumpers not an issue.
Also, since I have (2) firegod's, I took the other field module that is hardcoded with address 1 and swapped it with this field module (also hard coded 1), the problem stays with the channels, not the boards (ie, the suspect board displays all 32 channels when plugged into the second firegod PC module)
Also double checked all my SSR's on that module, if i plug those into a different field module, they all work perfectly. So i have ruled out SSR's, and the actual field module itself... wondering what to check next?
Any guidance MUCH appreciated... I can't feel my toes and fingers from troubleshooting this in the 20 degree weather
