Forum rules
This forum is designed for you to get HELP with building fixtures, Please make an attempt if you get stuck YOU must upload your partial fixture file (as an exported fixture file) so we can point you in the right direction if you don't do this you won't LEARN and if you don't learn you will may never be able to get the fixtures you require. It is Very hard to make fixtures for people when we don't have the same light at hand to test it with after all having the light in front of you makes programing so much easier! That's why we will help but rarely build any fixtures for you. You Alone are the best person to build your fixtures if you need help ask if you want it building for you Don't....
or alternativaly if your willing to pay for fixtures to be created then go here : http://www.freestylersupport.com/wiki/f ... on_service

Help on Strobe [SOLVED]

Post by fungusgarden »

I am new to Freestyler and could use a little help if anyone is interested. Ive got a decent grasp on how to create fixtures and , create cues etc. However i have come across a snag. Some of the fixtures I use are 6 channel LED RGB Par cans and the channels are

1 = Red
2 = Green
3 = Blue
4 = Shutter
5 = Auto
6 = Speed

I have successfully programmed the fixture and everything works but... How do I configure the Strobe , Shutter and Speed ? All channel 4 does is determine which type of Strobe is happening but you need to use Channel 6 to speed the strobe slower or faster. How can I create the fixture so Freestyler knows that all channel 4 does is activate the strobe feature while Channel 6 is responsible for its speed ? It seems simple , but the issue im having is that for whatever reason the shutter channel on this fixture doesnt actually have a closed position. from 0-27 its just solid on, once you get to 28 it starts to Strobe , but then to change the speed u use channel 6. Ive tried setting up Channel 6 to control low, med fast and it does work. But using channel four as a shutter doesnt because , well it is more of a strobe ingage than a shutter. If i call it a shutter , than the Blackout feature for this par stops working :(

Thanks in advance
Russ

hi it seems you dont create any Sequences (am i right?)

if you create a Sequnce.
Strobe stop , all ledpars channel 4 "dmx value 0" channel 6 "dmx value 0"
Strobe slow, all ledpars channel 4 "dmx value 30" channel 6 "dmx value 15"
Strobe med, all ledpars channel 4 "dmx value 30" channel 6 "dmx value 128"
Strobe fast, all ledpars channel 4 "dmx value 30" channel 6 "dmx value 255"


and add these to a the CUE or i would add them to the overridebuttons and you can toggle between de buttons.

I can see it would work if i created sequences, i was just hoping for a fixture creation that would allow the global strobe feature to automatically work. I was able to create a profile for elation emulation where i created a sub channel for channel 4 that automtically came up when i increased strobe/speed channel
Thanks for the input ;)
