Hello,

Does anyone have a ficture file for the showtec active sunstrip?
i need to control 2 of them next week but i only will have them during the show so i can't make my own fixture file for them.

Thnx

Try the HQPower sunstrip in the HQPower category.
It looks the same as the showtec sunstrip. Please let me know if it works good, as I'm using some of those in a couple of weeks also.

There aren't any sunstrips in the hqpower category, i'm using freestyler 3.01

I'm using a beta version of FS, maybe there are some new fixtures added.
Here's the sunstrip fixture file, which I think is compatible with the showtec sunstrip.

i'll try it this weekend and let you know if it works

Well, your could do a little pre-check by comparing the DMX channel descriptions and values.
I did a quick scan, it seemed ok. But did'nt jump deep into it.

the file seems damaged?? The fixturecreator window is just blank when i opening the file.


Is it me (my system) or does anyone else have problems?

(using 3.0.24 beta)

i only see an empty file with 11 dmx channels (where the sunstrips only have 10).

Define blank?

Like this?: Guys! I thought you all know better!
A sunstrip is nothing more (and less) than a 10 channel DMX dimmer, and so is it created in the fixture creator. Thats how it looks...
Just 1 parameter: number of channels.
And just 1 tab: description of channels.

Also there are sunstrips that have 1 control channel (to start build in chases) and 10 dimmer channels.
So a DMX channel description could look like this;
1. Control
2. Dimmer 1
3. Dimmer 2
4. Dimmer 3
...
11. Dimmer 10

Exactly the way the .pff is configured. It only seems that the showtec sunstrip is a 10 channel device, with just 10 dimmer channels and no control channel.
I thought I read that somewhere, but I guess I'm confused with some other brand or model.

ahhh ok, then it all make sense,, i was looking for pan, tilt, lamp, intesity configurations like the FixtureCreator is showing when you make a movinghead fixture. When i made the Eurolite 324/10 LED bar i used the moving head fixture so i could define channels for Red, Green and Blue, and control them from my MIDI interface.

And? Did it work?

Yes the version that Onge created worked like a charm, perfect

Well,normally i create my own but in this case there just wasn't time or possibility.
