To start simple: check >Setup >Universes and see if dmx output is on (The 'enabled' button should be blue ) Try another clean usb-stick. Should be formatted FAT32 without booting capability. And try to repeat installing your fixture library. It should load the way you do it. (Load button)

+ 1 . Also missing this possibility

Thank you Edward, I read that, but my knowledge and understanding of version numbers at that moment made me think I needed a bootable stick. Which I probably didn't need. But I discovered that way FLXS didn't boot a bootable stick .

I just did the same on my FLXS48 last week . Discovered the fact FLXS doesn't load from bootable sticks. I wasn't aware of that, though I read the manual(s) carefully. Costed me about an hour and the use of three USB sticks though. I decided to go the safe way. Downloaded both 7.9.8 and 7.9.9 . To go from 7.9.7 to 7.9.9. First updated to 7.9.8 and then to 7.9.9. No problems. This took only ten minutes more from my time, but it worked fine.

Thank you both for your answers, crystal now. It just seemed a bit strange to me that fader control excludes the "GO' button. Didn't remember that from reading the manual. And indeed it is not mentioned I think. (just read it back) Thank you for the invitation to your Beta test group. I'll send one of you a PM about that. Cheers ,Ed By the way, just plugged in a 13" touchscreen monitor, works like a dream.

Hello All, As mentioned before I'm diving into Zeros a little bit more now, watching tutorials , and fiddling around on my FLXS . Sometimes I'm also checking the most basic things, though I don't normally use all of them, I've got time now to fiddle around. I always use the Master playback for my main cue list. (Theatre guy you know) . And I use it as configured by default. E.g. the fader is HTP master and the button GO (fade). tonight I changed the fader function to Manual Fade (2 ways) , and went through a few cues by fader. With the result the 'GO' button is out of function? I think this is a bit strange. The 'GO' button is not responding , even after I changed the settings again. (the fader settings back to HTP Master , and even the GO settings to snap and fade) No result. It requires a restart of the desk to make the 'GO' work again. Anyone ideas about this?

Fully agree with you. It's the way to go, and stay cool 😉 Last show I did, (played 22 times) at a point contained 6 cues "snapping" in 0 secs, and the timing between them depended on the actors on stage. The following que after the 6th was a "snap" Blackout...... So you can imagine that nothing need to go wrong there. Every 22 shows spot-on 🤓 (of course I could have put an autofollow-with-wait time pointcue in between "6" and "7" showing the lighting state of "6" and giving me some safety, but hey, keeps a man awake 😋

Hi all, New to this forum, and relatively new to Zero88 (Zeros) I am an experienced theatre technician/lighting designer from the Netherlands. 2 months before the Covid19 misery I bought a FLXS 48 2U . used it for a month, and everything was over due to Covid. Now up and running again, designed and ran a 4-week outdoor show last month, and everything went basically ok. I had to figure out some things (again) , and now I take my time to dive deeper into Zeros. For me it works the best hand-on or with a show fresh in mind. Nice to discover I did find out (and used) some of the more complicated stuff myself already, before watching a Youtube tutorial. 🙃 I updated to 7.9.9 now and fixture library 2.1 I've voted in your poll, because I'm "fresh" into Zeros, and there are a few simple things I start to miss here, (or immediately miss) compared to some other consoles/ software I'm used to. Don't get me wrong, I find the Zeros system, and the FLXS an pleasure to work on, though I miss some simple functional things sometimes. Things like Park, Midi/OSc functionality, extended color mixing, (including the possibility to mix RGB and CMY seperately) and a few more. Good you published the poll, it is nice to see other people agreeing Happy programming! 😉 Looking forward to some of the most popular (simple) changes. Cheers, Ed
