What pixel controllers work with vixen2? I use an older pc and vixen 2 because it has a parallel port and I use a 595 controller for my on/off lights. Cant use vixen 3 on the controller pc because There are no driver support above Vista for the motherboard. I have a new RP4 output combo board but I have yet to have any luck figuring out how to use it with vixen 3 on my main pc. My main pc is too new to have a parallel port. I guess I'm in need of a few answers. 1: Should I get a different pixel controller that will work with vixen 2 so I can continue to use the 595 controller? 2: Attempt to figure out what I'm doing wrong with the RP4 output combo board on my main pc and use that with vixen 3? 2B: If I go this route should I order a parallel port expansion card for my pc so I can continue to use the 595 controller? 3: Should I just put the 595 on the shelf and get a newer more modern controller for my string lights and then run it all thru my main pc(Once I can get the RP4 output combo board working)? Just frustrated and looking for a little advice. Thanks!!
