Having a problem getting SD card controller working

[TomP]

Hi

Thanks for the help, hope you had a good xmas.

I only purchased it earlier this month so I would assume its the recent version, would i invalidate my warranty by opening to check the jumper?

The strip was one I got from elsewhere just to test the controller worked ok as I wont be putting a display together till closer to next xmas so wont be buying many lights till a bit closer to the time. I will double check that the address is set to 1.

Thanks

Tom

Aha,

Its working on stand-alone now, as per your advice I changed it back to channel 1 and its all working fine.

Just about to try it out on RS485 and see if it works being controlled.

Thanks for the help.

OK, so I know now its something I'm doing wrong but I have now configured it as controller ID: 6 and it shows up and can be controlled on Device Manager from the quickstart, if I open show designer and create a 2d group of say 2x30 it is not working, I then checked in Device Manager from the Tools menu and the controller isnt showing up. IF I close show designer and go back to the Device Manager on quick start it is still showing up and working.

EDIT: Doh - I just found out it plays from the show player, I just assumed clicking on play in designer would actually control the outputs which I now assume it doesn't. All working fine thanks for a great product

Cheers

Tom
