ILDA chain issue – one laser only works standalone (Pangolin setup)

I have a problem with my laser after connecting it to the Pangolin controller. Two other RGB lasers work without any issues, and my other green lasers also work fine, but one of them (a different model) does not work when it is connected in an ILDA cable chain. It only works when it is connected to ILDA on its own. I tried using a signal splitter cable, but it didn’t help. Can you advise anything?

Notice in the video: when two lasers are connected one after another, one of them doesn’t output any light, but when I unplug the cable from the second laser, that second one works without any problem.

Unfortunately when you mix in the dailsy chain ILDA driven different lasers/produces (or even the same producer but older units with pretty new ones this may happen (experienced it too on the job). Finally knowing the probelem and having wired the setup differently in my setup it worked for me. Good when you find it out prior to the gig, and have some room for checking and recabling ILDA connections and make the necessary changes to the zones in the software to two zones for each line of lasers. My proposition is at home, daisy chain all of the lasers you have to eliminate the one the is not compatibile, nex check if it's compatobe with at lease some of them (Becausee this may be also the case) - ad use this in configs where you have two lines of lasers the are on with each over dais chain.
