Hi so i'm using QLC to map faders on my controller for my ocpc. I tried artnet starting with 192.xxx but it doesn't connect to my onpc, it has to be 2.×××. Problem is I need to be able to connect the on PC to my console as well, meaning onpc has to be in the 192.xxx range as well. I have a yoke going on for my controller so that I can map buttons of my controller straight from the onpc, whilst only faders are thru artnet QLC. does anyone know what settings I have to configure to make everything work?

First of all, MA needs hardware for Artnet to work - yes sigh, but that how MA works. A NPU is the 'cheapest' solution for that.
Next, you have to configure QLC+ and MA computers to be multi-homed. (You have to assign a second IP address to the network interface and in the range of 2.x.x.x MASK 255.0.0.0.)
As you might know, On PC also accepts MIDI, so there might be a shortcut omitting QLC+, connecting hardware to the on PC.
But hey, I'm discouraging you, because this is a QLC+ forum after all.
(Best MA interface with the most knobs / sliders for the buck is the midicon controller + a midi translator.)
(For learning purposes, a 2nd screen with touch will help you along also... - it's all about the money you can spend to create your environment IMHO)

All electric machines work on smoke... when the smoke escapes... they don't work anymore
