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....

LuxDrive QuadPuck 4016 & FreeStyler

Post by EE-Stu »

This is the first forum I've ever posted... :!:

I have decided to experiment with RGB, using LEDs.

I have aquired the following items:
-(2) QuadPuck 4016 {it is a 4 channel dmx diver interface with 350mA current drivers}
-The Free DMX software from FreeStyler
-Plan on using XLAMP XPE LEDs by Cree

I want to start by seeing the different colors I can achieve by manipulating the currents of each channel. The QuadPuck connects to my PC with a RJ45 connections. I haven't had much luck getting started yet but I have been reading the help files. I'm going to try and make a fixture but does the QuadPuck qualify as one??

I'm open to any and all suggestions.
Thanks

You do know that the protocol over the RJ45 connectors on the QuadPuck is DMX and not network (TCP/IP)?
You can't connect that to your computer directly. You'll need a USB to DMX interface. DMX Protocol will come out on an XLR 3 or 5 female connector. That output can be connected to the RJ45 input of your QuadPuck.

Yes - a fixture is ANY equipment that responds to DMX signal on the daisy chain.
So when it responds to DMX somehow, even a cell phone is a fixture.
