Lynx Smart String / Re: Lights show random blink
« on: November 27, 2016, 08:33:21 pm »
Tried two different Ether Dongle and a SSC blink and ZUES blinks at the same timing. I agree about the Power usage on supply.
If I unplug all the Cat5 power feeds to the DSCs, I still get the blinking at my ZUES which is being fed from the Pixel Out port of the Active Hub

Interestingly, I can pull each cat5 off the board and it still blinks. My Zues driven mega tree blinks at the same time. I might have a poor solder joint on the board. I have used this board for at least 5 years and this is a first for me. Thank for all the input. Ideas are still welcome.

Thank you. It wil be only on one universe in this show. Remember when we thought 500 channels was huge? I miss the old days of figuring it out and making it work. My handicap I guess

Here is the update. I chose to use a 4 port passive hub without power or fuses as a splitter. It seems to be working perfect. Now that will give me time to figure out which or maybe both the old active hub and Zues are the issue. Thanks again, Kevin

Can I use one powered port off the 4 port to run another Zues using Pixelnet In on the Zues? or will the power injection kill the Pixelnet Port on the Zues?
My problem is, I was running a Zues off an Active Hub and water got into the enclosure. Now the Zues is not working and is being fed by the active hub. Yet, all my SSC on the active hub work in test mode. I was thinking about sending Pixelnet through a 4 port passive hub to a replacement Zues and the Active Hub. I don't know which piece is bad the active hub or the original Zues. Super Frustrated and out of practice. I know I should know the answer. thanks.

I will do that, I was just confused since I did not see any other 485 chips or stuff like that. I really need to connect direct to the 4 port powered hub. I will do that in the morning thank you sir. Nice talking to a few of my old buddies on the site. Kevin

Lynx Smart String / Pixelnet Hub Question SOLVED
« on: November 21, 2016, 09:20:11 pm »
Hello all, is it possible to connect the following. Ethernet dongle ->Pixelnet passive hub (4 hub)-> Smartstring? or do I need to send it through a larger passive hub first?
Sorry for all the questions, I have been on the site for years, but last year I was very ill and now I am finally getting back into the grove of things.

Lynx Smart String / Zues rj45 possible water issue.

If water gets into the rj45 pixenet connector in the ZUES will it hurt anything in the active hub it us connecting to while powered up?

Perfect! I was think that was the case, but could not remember. I guess that's what I get for buying stuff 4 years or more ago and finally using it.

Lynx Smart String / Maximum Distance to Dumb String Controller
« on: November 20, 2016, 09:08:39 pm »
Hello, what is the maximum distance most have ran to a DSC? I am just curious how far I can estimate going or changing the location of my hub to better accommodate all strings. Thank you all in advance.
