I've been trying to create fixture file for Stage Ape Spider Derby for about a week now. DMX protocol on the website is different from the one that came with the fixture. I have tried both and added macro to utilize the sound active mode of the fixture. I even crashed FS trying to playback the macro and started over downloading FS, but still unable to get these fixtures to operate. I have created and have control of the LED slimpar 64 fixtures, so I'm learning. But I don't see very much on the forum regarding derby fixtures and wondering if I may get some help?

Why would these fixtures work beautifully standalone and not be able to work DMX? I've tried recreating the fixtures tens of different ways. Set up the macro in Channel 7 as on shipped protocol and channel 8 as on Stage Ape website protocol? Created the fixtures only setting the macro with no other values (as that's how I want to use it anyways). The yellow macro star appears on the fixture icon, but not the red one. Is that correct? Move slider (on right) to appropriate value. Tried on fade and snap. Fixture will not respond no matter what I do?

Got fixtures to running on channel 8 in Auto pattern, but not sound active mode. Therefore, I am assuming (per box protocol) that channel 7 value 244-255 is sound active. I set another macro for this, but does no work.

any way you can post fixture here so we can try?
thank you!
