So iv been through the tutorials, created my fixture. All working except for the colours, the only colour that works is red. The others are different and when i click on another colour in freestyle it also makes my moving head move continuously. Any help on this would be awesome. Iv attached my fixture file and manual for your information

Thanks

Hej I have have a look on your fixture.

You have placed the color wheel on channel 7.
It has to be channel 6.

Also remove channel 6 from lamp the channel.
FreeStyler uses the dimmer channel to make lamp on off is the shutter channel isn't defined. Lamp channel is for striking the bulb

Strobe channel set the "Off" value to 0 and low to 5 or 10 and delete the med value (It should be calculated automatically)

If you want to use sound control then I will suggest that you add two macros a "Sound off" and a "Sound off" and then only add the value 0 and 255 on channel 7 for the macro.

Think that should help you.

Hi Jan

I managed to get the colours working yesterday but the functions seem abit messed, i shall try this now. Thank you for your input,

Hi Again Jan

Iv just tried what you suggested, but my color wheel now think its a strobe and wont change colour.

okay.
I think you should try to debug the fixture.

You have 7 sliders in the right side of FreeStyler

If you move them one by one then you can see what they do.
Verify that channel 5 is the strobe control and check in Fixture Creator that you only have defined / used channel 5 on the strobe.

It may also be an idea to upload the fixture here then I have a chance to look into it.

Just an additional trick.

You can open the output monitor and there you can see what is happening / value changing when you press a button or icon.

The fixture and the manual are currently in my original post i think.

Sorry for the responses, here is what does what:

Pan- Nothing
Tilt-Pan
Tilt16bit- Tilt
Dimmer- Nothing
Shutter- Dimmer
Color1- Strobe
Color1- ColourWheel

Not sure why there is 2 color channels.

Iv attached a screenshot with what i have so far

color1 at the top doesnt do anything
pan works fine
tilt works fine
color2 doesnt do anything
dimmer works fine
strobe works fine
color1 at the bottom changes the color,

Strange though because the channels do not match those in the manual.
Manaul My Settings

Strobe 5 Strobe 6
Pan 1 Pan 2
Dimmer 4 Dimmer 5

Im still working on the color

I don't know what fixture you are using but it is not the one from your original post.

It look like this.

The fixture im using is a Equinox Slender Beam Quad. Its a moving head fixture.

It is the fixture file from your original which is not the same as the one on you fader image.

The fader image I posted is how your fixture file from the original post looks when add it to my setup.
Yous should be the same and it is not.

If it is not the same then you are not using the fixture file you think.

Try to give it a fixture name like "Slender Beam Quad 1" or "Test 1" then you are 100% sure that the correct fixture file.

It may be and idea to remove the fixture and then add it again and then be 100% sure that you are using the correct file.

Also open the output monitor panel and see that the faders actually are changes the channels correct.
