Troubleshooting

General

Always feel free to post help requests in the forums. Try to include sharp, close-up pictures of both sides of your hardware that is having a problem. As you already know, people in this community are more than happy to help...and are friendly about it to boot!

Power

(GFCI, Circuit breakers, extension cords, power panels, etc.)

Hardware

Check and recheck for correct:

• Solder flow, no shorts and the possibility that not all leads have been soldered (this happens more than you might think!).
• Component orientation - matching the silkscreen image on the board - not necessarily the orientation of chip sockets or other carrier devices (they could have been installed backwards).
• Resistor values
• Capacitor polarities
• Part numbers

• Lynx Express
• Lynx Freestyle
• Lynx SSR4-DMX
• Lynx MR16
• Lynx Wireless
• Lynx Dongle
• Lynx Splitter

Software

• Vixen
• LightShow Pro

Communications

(DMX cables, com ports, length of runs, distance of wireless, etc.)

• Does your hardware need to be terminated?
