I technically have a Kulp K16, not sure if that matters.  I have several Lynx Expresses that I've been using for years.  I'm finally adding some pixels this year.  I have the Falcon and the Lynx USB dongle configured in xLights, and it seems to be happy.  It sees the Dongle with channels 1-128.

Since the Falcon has 2 DMX outputs, I wanted to see if I could just chain them all together rather than using the separate dongle.  However, it automatically sets my Pixels to channel 1.  I need the DMX channels to be 1-128.

How do I configure it in xLights so it sees the separate DMX channels?  I have all of my DMX models set to "Use Start Channel" as the controller.

Any advice is appreciated.  This is my first year with xLights and pixels and I'm already off to a very late start.

I still use some Lynx stuff for my static props.  I used to fight the issue of channel numbering until I finally gave up and configure my first pixel prop to start at the last DMX address + 1.  Have not had any issues for years now.  ie. Since I am down to only a few DMX props I only reserve 16 channels for those props and start the first pixel prop at channel 17.
