Can I use Freestyler with the American DJ PocketScans? If not, what would I need to do to run these lights with this software?

Thank you

anyone?

a usb dmx dongle I suggest the enttec range (open dmx for learners and pro for serious users) http://www.enttec.com
then you just create a fixture file for it or see if its alreafdy there and then wham bam thank you mam your rockin' and rollin'

I have the Velleman USB Doggle. I don't see an American DJ PocketScan fixture available. It looks impossible to create a fixture file. Very complicated. I know the DMX channel values. I just can't seem to get the ang of it I guess.

The Velleman came with DMX Light Player. I wonder if that is easier?

Who can I PAY to create one? How much? In U.S.?

$11 Usd will get you my dedicated time

The scanner can be created easily. but the laser maybe more difficult.
How i would do it:
1-5 are straight forward
3-4(create 3 extra images for, Rotate cw, rotate CCW, And Audio Mode functions)
For channel 7 Laser. Id use macros say 5, LASER(ON SlOW MEDIUM FAST OFF).
Channel 7 Reset. Freestyler has an option for this.
Channel 6. Not sure what its for (Pan/Tilt vector Mode?) Id personal leave it empty and use the side faders in FS.

Take up DJSupport on his offer, its worth it just for GOBO/Colour graphics and he does a good job of creating fixtures too!

Great news. I FOUND a pocketscan fixture file IN freestyler. It wasn't in the American DJ folder. But, was indeed in there.

Now I need to read the tutorial about how to create scenes and chases.

It seems so complicated. It's very difficult to move sliders on the screen with a little mouse than to simply use real sliders.
