KAM iLink lasers

Post by spud1511 »

2 different profiles for the single colour 8 channel (ilink blue 500), and multicolour 10 channel (ilink RGY) lasers from kam.

I had these lasers so long I thought it was about time the profiles were done to get them into my new set of DMX shows ready for the new year!

notes:
Due to kam's dmx implementation the pan & tilt is fully functional, but only moves within the top left quarter of the pan / tilt window. After that it goes into continous directional movement (by speed instead of absolute position). After testing I found it was better to keep it like this so the shapes and movement effects can still be used as normal (click shape button to reduce movement size/position).
I simplified the X and Y rolling into just slow/medium/fast/reset in the macros window, ignoring the different directions as it makes no real difference (its effectively just a squeeze and stretch action to create the effect).
Both lasers have blackout function, automatically applied as default/startup, will go away as soon as a colour is applied to RGY laser, or a mode (DMX control) macro to blue laser, provided obviously the freestyler master blackout is not in effect.
Zoom function works as normal in beam window, but also has some macros for continous zoom effects.

ps thanks to user Jan_K who saved me the bother of finishing rescaling the gobo pictures I had by supplying the full set that were even better.

Has anyone got the fixture file for the Kam iLink GBC? - and the Kam XY RGY?

Hi rcampey,
The Kam iLink RGY is exactly the same as the GBC, only need to change the pictures for the buttons in the profile and save it as GBC. I am not at home right now, so I can't do it today, but if you try and have any problems let me know and I will do it when I can (won't be today though).

As for the XY, if the iLink profile doesn't do it (I can't remember if the dmx chart was the same) then there is a profile on post #30 posted here viewtopic.php?t=6184 created by user 'djsupport', he is very experienced at making fixtures so I would be pretty confident it will be good and working.

I was told to use the iLink file for my Kam XY lasers because their DMX settings are the same, but I'm having trouble turning them on and off, so not sure if maybe there is something wrong at my end or if we need a new fixture created?

Lamp:Open/Closed makes no difference. The On/Off on the Shape Maker does not change things. BlackOut on Colors does not help. The only thing I have found to work is the first button in Macros, the AUTO with RGY as the icon - this will make the laser appear or disappear, but I don't think this is meant to be an On/Off button and I'm worried that I might damage my laser if it is used to shut off the beam. Even when I do use this to shut it off, the laser will still come alive in chases where I had set it to disappear using that button.

Can anyone help please? Am I doing something wrong or is it the same for everyone with XY lasers? Thanks!

Hej adlen87

You need to check the manual and the output from freestyler that they match.
Upload the manual and eventually the fixture you are using here then we can guide you.

Hi,
The XY lasers dmx profiles are not the same as the iLink.. sorry

the blackout and things you mentioned are controlled on different channels, so will not respond the same way as the iLink laser does.

The good news though is that If you have the patience I have gained 3 kam XY lasers myself and will be making a profile for them soon. Probably not for a few weeks though till I get back home. If you need something sooner than that you can always DIY a profile or consider paying djsupport to make it for you.
