As the title states, I need a dummies guide to Artnet using a  CueCore and Cuelux Pro with Pixel Net Bar(12, 20, 40) driven by a Pixel Net4.

I have a linux box running Cuelux Pro with the IP address of 2.0.16.23 connected to a Cisco RV220w wifi router (2.0.16.1). The address provided by the Pixel Net4 is 2.0.16.253. CueCore is set to 2.0.16.10. Sub Net Mask 255.255.255.0

I believe my issue is networking and not personalities or profiles. Using personalities found here - http://forums.elationlighting.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/144001790101/m/787007790101?r=787007790101#787007790101
Changed the patch->universe settings to point the second universe to artnet address - 2.0.16.253 @ 0.0 and set pixel bar to second universe starting at channel 1. Then going to the Network window and clicking on the CueCore, the properties include the artnet address as 255.255.255.255 and I am unable to change it. This is where the guide for dummies will help greatly. I think I have confused myself.


When I run the Browser console, I can access the lights via the second universe (513-Red 514 Green 515-Blue 516-Red 517 Green etc)

Hello Dahaggard,

CuelxuPro mode
If you are using CueluxPro with a CueCore. You have to do the following in CueluxPro.
Open the Universe window which is a part of the Patch window. Here you will see your universes. (2 are created by default.)

If you want to send Art-Net you will have to configure the universe in the following way:
1. Set an outlet. Select your CueCore as the outlet.
2. Set master to "yes".
3. Enable Art-Net in CueluxPro.

Stand alone mode
If you want to use the CueCore in stand alone mode. You will have to dump a playback to the CueCore.

Then you can open the web interface of the CueCore. On the settings page of the CueCore set the Art-Net output destination. And then start the playback.

I hope this helps you.

Best regards,
Guido
