xLights, LOR, DMX Bridge, and Lynx Express!

[Donny M. Carter]

Need some help please! I seem to not get anything when import a LMS file in to xLIghts! I create an xLights sequence and save it. I then convert an LMS file and save, but when I output to preview or actual lights, I get no AC channels. Pixels work fine. I can go to the test tab and the lights work fine. can add a model with the corect AC channel to the xLights sequence and lights work fine. When I try it importing an LMS file, no lights! Any idea please!?

During the conversion from LMS to XSEQ, did you check the "Map Empty LMS Channels" box?

If not, that is probably the answer. If you have a lot of LMS channels with no data, it can move things around (compact them).

Yes it's checked. After trying for several days. I created a simple 32 channel lms file with effects in each channel. Still no luck.

How about a screen shot of your LOR Network Preferences and a description of your devices.

I've done at least a dozen LMS to XSEQ conversions without problem. But - my setup in LOR is 100% E1.31 output of DMX. Much cleaner.
It gets trickier (and out of my experience) if you have USB/COM Port outputs.

Attached are pics of everything, I hope! Thanks for your help!

I decided to remove all hardware and start from scratch. I hooked up a single Lynx Express to my laptop using a Lynx dongle. I then converted a LMS file in xLights and still no go! I go to test in xLights and the controller works! If I add a LOR model in xlights and add an effect, hit save and go to preview. The lights work! WTH!?!

Lights are blinking. Ended up being a undefined channel at the beginning of the LOR sequence! Thanks to everyone for the help!
