gbeeby Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 i've got a little problem, i recently added some ACME Dynamo scanners to our fat frog, everything seems to be o.k. apart from the fact i was expecting them to be controllable by the wheels however they are on the main faders. does anyone know how to move them across ??

K-Nine Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 You need to assign the fixture type to one or more fixture selection buttons and patch them to the correct DMX start addresses.

gbeeby Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 i'm pretty sure ive allready done that, the text and values appear on the screen but the wheels don't do anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbeeby Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 ok thanks ive got it sorted now - manual patch the only thing is iv'e got 4 of those scanners and i just figured out that the numbers on the DIL switch have to be the same as those of the fixtures problem is ive got them on 64, 128 and 256 those are the only available numbers i wondered if i could put down to of those switches ? e.g 64+32 to make 96 ?? would have experemented first but this whole dmx stuff is a bit new to me and they're allready rigged so not really all that accesable thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Yes, you can have multiple switches on, and you just add up the numbers. It's a binary code. Have a look at this topic on the Blue Room Wiki for further information: http://www.blue-room.org.uk/wiki/DIP_Switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
