Artnet on Nanohog

Hi,
We have purchased some lighting fixtures (Chavuet Epix Bars and the Chavuet Epix drive 642) and have no idea on how to get them to work with the road hog. these fixtures are not in the fixture schedule and i am not sure if they need to be, but we have been trying to wire them up using a Ethernet cable running from the computer to the epix drive, where the fixtures are connected. i have watched the Hog4 tutorial on the youtube channel and we have tried to do the same thing, but each time we change the IP address, it goes back to the default and will not keep what we change after applying it and exiting out. What is going on and how can we get these fixtures to work with the NanoHog4. we are using Hog4pc with the Nanohog, and need help with art net. the fixtures only have inputs for ethernet cables and don't have dmx inputs. Can someone guide us in the right direction on what to do to get these working. we need them up and running by Easter 2016. THANKS

  • So looking at the webpage (and without going too deep into them), it looks like they are designed to take video and pixel map it to Artnet, Klingnet or sACN. Depending on how many you have, you might end up using more than the universes you have available on the Nanohog as they eat a TON of channels for the pixel mapping.

    As far as IP changes…with HogPC, you need to set this on the COMPUTER, not the console. It keeps reverting back because that's what's coming from the computer. On the console, you set the IP on the console, but for Hog PC, you have to do it on the computer.

    How many universes do you have on the Nano???
