I hooked up a DMX controller (Standard DJ type DMX light controller) to a LOR CTB16PC Box with the upgraded firmware to support DMX IN.
I wired together a cable and tested it out...there's about a 1-2 second delay. Has anybody else run into this problem? I've tried setting the LOR box to channel 01 and OC (The DMX box supports channels 1-192), I've tried changing the polarity, all the same lagging delayed response from Lor Box.
It's time-shifted the entire time. I connect the DMX controller to the LOR BOX. The lor box LED goes solid. Every control I send gets a 1-2 second delay. The LED never fluctuates.
For example, I ramp up channel 1 on the DMX control to 100%. It takes the light (controlled by LOR) about 2 seconds to reach 100%.
Ok. It looks like you need to power down the unit after applying the firmware update for the DMX firmware to fully right itself. It's working now after a power cycle on the LOR Board.
Nope. It's not even the power cycle that makes it have a delay. My bad: I had the USB to RS485 pluged into the unit at the same time I had the DMX cable plugged into the unit. Although the RS-485 Signal was inactive, it's still sending apparently sending enough signals to introduce a delay in the reponsiveness of the LOR Board. It's remarkable it was able to function at all with both cables plugged in. It's not a hybrid LOR/DMX System!
