DMX400 Problem: One fixture not reacting to it

Post by Goofy »

Hi :mrgreen:

I'm an otherwise happy freestyler (2.96h) user and so far, it has never let me down to a point i couldn't solve... But now I'm in a bit of a situation... I'm trying to run 4 Robe MSZoom 250XT with the DMX400, and as far as i know, i've set everthing up as it should be, but the first fixture in the line doesn't respond to the intensity changes of the DMX400... :roll:.

I've checked the DMX output, and the problem seems to be within freestyler, as the output of the fixture's dimmer channel is fixed to whatever i set it to manually and not changing at all... All three of the other heads are working superbly with DMX400... Very confusing...

I'm thinking that it might be some override i'm missing to reset, but i cannot seem to find it...

Hope you guys can help :)

Goofy

Well... Problem has been solved :). I don't know why, but changing the adress of them all helped. Problem only occured when first fixture's DMX adress was 1-16... Very mysterious :P

See ya :mrgreen:

@Goofy: Have you reported the bug in the "Freestyler reprot bug system" or have I to do so?
