what dongle are u using? to transmit DMX is it setup in freestyler correctly? Freestyler runs on its own Lightjockey is similair software that does the same thing but costs a fortune (Softwares free DMX output device is the money maker)

Enttec Open Dmx USB.. okay well i'm making progress, i can turn the lamp on and off but still no movement i'm gonna try a factory reset on all fixtures and then make sure that the pan tilt values are correct in fixture creator.
