Hello there,

So here is my set up.

I have:
2x EUROLITE LED KLS Laser Bar PRO FX (https://www.steinigke.de/en/mpn51741091 ... t-set.html)
2x LED strips
Running through the Advatek 16 MK2 (https://www.advateklights.com/pixlite-1 ... trol-board)
To a wifi router
Connected to a Raspberry pi running QLC+

Goal is to control all of this remotely with my smartphone via wifi connection.

I am able to get the QLC+ running and working with the LED strips.

But somehow I can’t get any signal to my Eurolites with QLC+ and generally.

I don’t know what I am doing wrong with trying to connect it. I have a XLR to Ethernet converter (no decoder) I think the Adavtek does that for me. (https://www.thomann.de/de/stairville_dm ... TJEALw_wcB)

Anyway. I know I am doing something wrong but what?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

1. Wiring: ethernet to advantek, RJ45-XLR adapter from advantek _ DMX cable to led KLS #1, DMX cable from LED KLS 1 to LED KLS 2 (alternatively: separate RJ45-DMX to each LED KLS).

2. Check pinout of the adapter; advantek supports 2 pinouts; if neither matches, you have to resolder the adapter; thomann reviews suggest that the pinout is strange NOTE: check this before you plug the adapters anywhere!!! you may damage the equipment if it is wrong!!!

3. You have to configure DMX output(s) to some artnet/sacn universe; then you have to match that in QLC+ setup; note that universes are numbered from 0
For the cleanest setup keep LED KLS and LED strips in separate universes.

4. Start with sACN since it is able to output many universes on one IP address. art-net needs one IP for every 4 universes. To fully utilize the advantek device you'd need 25 IP addresses.
