Enttec Ode - Somebody who got it working?
Posted: March 19th, 2011, 8:52 pm
Hi FS community
I'm not afrequent poster but this time after 5 hours trying hard I dont know how to get further and hope there is somebody out there who can help. And I promise I read every available post on the internet (I even tried in French although I#m not very capable of that language) and everything in this Forum. If I have overlooked something pls let me know and receive my apologies.
I'm using a Mac Mini with Parallels and FS running on Windows 7. I have been using enttec open dmx so far, but didnt find it reliable so I just recently bought Enttec ode because I like controlling dmx via ethernet. I managed that the Enttec detection program "NMU" finds my device (this already was a mess) on Windows 7, but now have problems in integrating "ODE" into FS.
There are 2 main issues:
1) If I try to change the interface in the drop down menu of FS it doesnt save it properly. When I leave it open it remembers my selection, but everytime I close and than reopen the program again there is still enttec open dmx selected and enttec ode is lost.
2) Of course it everytime tells me "open failed", so it obviously it doesnt work
Must I tell the prog the IP Adress of the "Ode"? But where can I configure the "Ode" in FS?
I read that also Art-Net to DMX could play a role, but in this little programm there isnt even a chance to set this "ode" device, this Enttec interface is just not listed on my dropdown.
Thre was a posting where it seems that a user had a solution, but I didnt understand it because I couldnt find the options he was describing.
If you could help me this would be great, I'm almost a little desperate - thank you
