Lynx Smart String / question on step 11 of the active hub install instructions
« on: July 27, 2013, 09:53:21 pm »
Hello all and thank you for your time in advance.
I'm hung on step 11 of the 16 port active hub install. I'm not seeing a - sign on the side of the 100 uf capacitor like the instructions say.
One wire is longer than the other - is that the wire that should go into the + hole?

Lynx Zeus / Re: Zeus Intro
« on: April 23, 2013, 11:41:02 am »If the Zeus controller combines an active hub with ssc's wouldn't that make the current active hub obsolete? Or are there shorter limitations on cat5 runs to the smartstrings or some other reason to keep selling separate active hub/ssc combos? Especially given the lower cost estimate of the Zeus controller. Also if the ssc is incorporated into the Zeus controller does that mean each port would be assigned a certain channel range so if something happens to a port you just can't move the smartstring to another empty port without reconfiguring the board?
I have the same question - I'm in on the active hub coop to do a mega tree in my show this year. I'm thinking this Zeus controller is the better, more cost effective way to go. Will this also pass DMX through it? My show will be a combo of pixelnet for the mega tree and DMX for the rest of the house this year. I'm a bit unsure what to do now...

The Porch / Re: What should the next generation of sequencing software look like?
« on: January 18, 2011, 07:43:08 pm »
Let me preface by saying I haven't read this entire thread in great detail...
I tend to break up my lights by instruments/vocals and I'll program the song by what I hear. Maybe that's because I was a band geek in high school, but that is what I do. I have a real tree out front that I'll put lights on that I tend to use as my "vocals". I have some bushes in the front out by the sidwalk that I use as my percussion. Brass/guitar/etc... tend to be my bushes right outside my house or my lights that outline my windows. I think you catch my drift...
What I'd like to see is software that can recognize the vocals, drums, guitar/brass, etc... and turn on/off my lights accordingly. I can fine tune and adjust as needed, but it would be cool if it would give me a "shell" of a sequence first.

I started like you - I bought a LOR 16 controller and used that for 1 year. Then I realized that I'd need a second mortgage if I were to go bigger, so I hunted and stumbled on this pile of gold here. In year 2, I built my own dongle and an LE and I used Vixen with LE and LOR. I then sold my LOR and got some more LEs and I ran all LEs this year.
You'll have no problem selling off your LOR and get a good penny for it. No problems. You don't have to sell it off, of course, but you'll have no problems doing it if you want to.
There is really no need to have LORs once you have found this site, in my opinion. For a fraction of the cost of a LOR, you can get LE. I never soldered in my life and it is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. And the people on this site are simply the best for support.
In short - you can't go wrong getting RJs stuff. Sell off the LOR and use that money to buy MORE stuff from here.
