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....

Does anyone have a fixture profile for this light? I'm a small club owner with limited knowledge and can't get one out of FC that works. Thanks for your help! DMX specs here: http://www.stageape.com/pages/hampster.html

Re: Stage Ape Hampster - My Partial Fixture that I tried

Post by thelodgemd »

Attached is my fixture that I tried to create for the Stage Ape Hampster...THANKS FOR ANY HELP/GUIDANCE!
Light specs = DMX mode:
The HAMPSTER is a 7 channel dmx light so you start DMX value 1. Set dip switches #1 & # 10 on the first fixture to the on position. Dip switch 10 is on to tell the light it is in DMX mode and does not have a value.

Slider #1 controls the green LED's

Slider #2 controls the red LED's

Slider #3 controls the blue LED's

Slider #4 0-16 white (red, blue and green LED's on)
17-31- red
32-47- purple
48-63- blue
64-79- aqua
80-95- green
96-120- light green
121-255- color change (set speed of color change with slider #5)

Slider #5 0-255 slow to fast color change (when slider #4 is set to 121-255)

Slider #6 0-127- strobe (from slow to fast)
128- 131- solid on
132-191- strobe fade in (fades from zero to full brightness)
192-240- fade (lights up and fades out)
241-255- solid on

Slider #7 Dimmer (slider must be all the way up for the functions to work)

On the first fixture set dip switch #1 and #10 to the ON position. For easy use with our ACROBAT, set the second fixtures dip switch #1 and #5 and dip #10 to the ON position and that will give you control of the light using the #2 fixture/scanner button on the DMX controller. To run the lights all at once just set all the lights dip switches to #1 and #10 to the ON position.

Hej thelodgemd.

Think you have an error some where.

You have RGB on 2,3 and 4 in the fixture.
In the list R is 2, G is 1 and B is 3.

Also I think the shutter channel should be left empty.

When you have modified this then upload it again and I will have a look.

Do you have the fixture so you can test it.

See eventually http://www.freestylersupport.com/wiki/f ... led_parcan

Hello, Jan...I have made progress on this fixture. Please see attached. I don't understand how to address the color change option...Slider 4. Any help and guidance is appreciated. I tried to address color change through the macros - as you will see. Best, Ryan

I just had a fast look on the fixture.

The strobe has 3 effects strob, fade in and fade out.
I have changed the values so the strobe is on the strobe fader and the fade in / out are on macros.

Also I am not sure why you have used lamp on function.

I have moved the speed to a gobo channel so there are a fader linked to this function.

The rainbow and the fade in out may have a speed control depending on the what value in the range that are used.
That you have to detect and eventually change.

Have a look and try it.
