I have 12 Chauvet SlimPAR 56 lights. All are set to 7 channel with DMX address set to 1 on each light. I am using a CHAUVET DJ DMX-AN2 - DMX/Art-Net/sACN Interface. I am running Photon 2 app on an iPad.
The network interface has a good connection and when I start the Photon 2 app the DMX light turns blue indicating the interface is receiving a good connection from the DMX lights. I also know the interface is working properly, because the Photon original app controls the lights perfectly fine from the same iPad.
Photon 2 app is configured as Art-Net, Unicast, Subnet 0, and Universe 1. If I change the subnet or universe, the network interface light turns off, indicating there is no connection to the DMX lights. Furthermore, the Photon 2 app does NOT have a red message at the top of the app that says “Can’t connect to Art-Net node” (which tells me it is connected). So I have every reason to think the Photon 2 app is correctly setup and talking to the network interface.
Finally, I added a single Device in the app named “My slimpar 56” and set the device to start at channel 1.
With that , the app has no control over any of the lights. I select colors. Move the fader and strobe up and down. Nothing works.
To re-iterate, I downloaded the original Photon app on same iPad. It automatically detected the Art-net device (Chauvet interface). I added same device as in Photon 2. And I can immediately control all the lights.
Thoughts on what could be wrong with Photon 2?
