multiple smoke machines. [SOLVED]

Post by spikie »

Hiya,

i'm trying to find out how i could make it work to use 2 mutlple smoke machines in diffrent times.
Like now:

i have 1 smoke machine on the stage and 1 under the stage.. But when i use the fog button both going to make smoke. Thats oke for some party's but sometimes i dont want to make smoke under the stage or on the stage. i sure could dont power the smoking machine on.. but thats not really what i want. sometimes it gives a nice thing to just smoke under the stage and later make smoke on the stage..

Hopefully someone understand what i want and knows a way to do it.

Greets,

spikie

Hey,
You could program them each to an OR Button (Override button) then assign them to a keyboard shortcut in setup i.e for example numbers 1 & 2, then when you press 1 smoke comes from underneath stage, press 2 and smoke on the stage comes out.

Hope that helps :)

yeah was already thinking about that. but the smoke machines working like channel 1 = 0% no smoke and 100% intensity full power.. and between 0 and 100 it goes more and more.. so how do i adjust the right ones then? that was the problem.

Do you have them on set addresses all the time or does it change? I'll make something up for you now and then you can test it out.

the machines would be always on the same adress cause they are build in and only come out to refill or maybe check why something isnt working. (before someone starts, both places a well ventilated;) ) thanks for your time!

Same address = Same Control.

To make them work independently they need to be on different channels.
