showguy Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Hi, Ive been having some trouble getting Art-Net running. I have enabled Art-Net under the Universe Section, and set my current universe. Im using Artnetominator to see if I receive Art-Net. However, I simply dont receive anything. Sending Art-Net from another PC in the same network (same router/switch) I receive Art-Net okay. The FLX S 24 gets an IP via DHCP from my Router, static wont work either, so its not an network issue. Connecting the console directly to my PC without any switch whatsoever wont work either. What am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgallen Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 I've had good success with Art-Net on my FLX. There was some thread a while back about some external tools not picking up the packets. Something to do with polling or broadcast or unicast or something like. I can't find the thread now of course and anyway it might not be relevant... I assume you've been through the relevant manual pages? Here it is before someone more knowledgeable comes along! https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/setup/universes/art-net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgallen Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Maybe this was the thread, but I don't know how directly relevant it is. Might have a few things for you to check/compare or to trigger some thoughts of your own on settings etc. Sorry I don't have a direct answer.

Edward Z88 Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Hi @showguy From memory, ArtNettominator reports itself as an Art-Net controller, not a receiver. In older software versions, FLX S would only send Art-Net to receivers, not other controllers on the network (this is what @kgallen is correctly recalling). Normally you wouldn’t want to send Art-Net DMX data to another console on the network for example. This behaviour was changed in ZerOS 7.14, to avoid the exact confusion you’ve encountered. Therefore, make sure your console is running ZerOS 7.14.3, so Art-Net is sent to “controllers” such as ArtNetominator. Hope this helps.

Weirdly enough I couldnt receive any ArtNet with DMXControl either. Either way, I've updated to the latest ZerOS and now everything works as expected. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
