Oge Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 I'm preparing for a show, and we have a lamp that has an engine. I have to control this from the FatFrog, but I would like to ensure that it's either 100% or 0%, so I don't damage the engine. Is this some way possible on a FatFrog? (It doesn't receive and DMX-signal, only current) /0 Quote
Oge Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Posted October 23, 2008 Wow, sorry. That must been a very confusing post. What I meant, can you force one of the preset faders to be either 100% or 0%? Doesn't has to be one of the preset faders, just so that I can control that channel X can only be 100% or 0%. Quote
Paul Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 It would be a risky strategy to rely on desk programming to not damage your equipment, you may be better looking for a DMX controlled relay or switchpack if the equipment must be only on or off. Unfortunately the Frog doesn't support laws/curves to allow you to configure an output to be only on or off. You could do some tricks by progamming the channel as an LTP channel into a couple of submasters, however if you or someone else presses the wrong button or moves a wheel, then your equipment would get damaged, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Oge Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Posted October 24, 2008 Yes, I know. Unfortunatly, it's the only option I have. I will try some programming tricks. At least it's quite durable. Thanks! Quote
