Does anyone have a fixture profile for this light? I'm a small club owner with limited knowledge and can't get one out of FC that works. Thanks for your help! DMX specs here: http://www.stageape.com/pages/hampster.html

Attached is my fixture that I tried to create for the Stage Ape Hampster...THANKS FOR ANY HELP/GUIDANCE!
Light specs = DMX mode:
The HAMPSTER is a 7 channel dmx light so you start DMX value 1. Set dip switches #1 & # 10 on the first fixture to the on position. Dip switch 10 is on to tell the light it is in DMX mode and does not have a value.

Slider #1 controls the green LED's

Slider #2 controls the red LED's

Slider #3 controls the blue LED's

Slider #4 0-16 white (red, blue and green LED's on)
17-31- red
32-47- purple
48-63- blue
64-79- aqua
80-95- green
96-120- light green
121-255- color change (set speed of color change with slider #5)

Slider #5 0-255 slow to fast color change (when slider #4 is set to 121-255)

Slider #6 0-127- strobe (from slow to fast)
128- 131- solid on
132-191- strobe fade in (fades from zero to full brightness)
192-240- fade (lights up and fades out)
241-255- solid on

Slider #7 Dimmer (slider must be all the way up for the functions to work)

On the first fixture set dip switch #1 and #10 to the ON position. For easy use with our ACROBAT, set the second fixtures dip switch #1 and #5 and dip #10 to the ON position and that will give you control of the light using the #2 fixture/scanner button on the DMX controller. To run the lights all at once just set all the lights dip switches to #1 and #10 to the ON position.

Hej thelodgemd.

Think you have an error some where.

You have RGB on 2,3 and 4 in the fixture.
In the list R is 2, G is 1 and B is 3.

Also I think the shutter channel should be left empty.

When you have modified this then upload it again and I will have a look.

Do you have the fixture so you can test it.

See eventually http://www.freestylersupport.com/wiki/f ... led_parcan

Hello, Jan...I have made progress on this fixture. Please see attached. I don't understand how to address the color change option...Slider 4. Any help and guidance is appreciated. I tried to address color change through the macros - as you will see. Best, Ryan

I just had a fast look on the fixture.

The strobe has 3 effects strob, fade in and fade out.
I have changed the values so the strobe is on the strobe fader and the fade in / out are on macros.

Also I am not sure why you have used lamp on function.

I have moved the speed to a gobo channel so there are a fader linked to this function.

The rainbow and the fade in out may have a speed control depending on the what value in the range that are used.
That you have to detect and eventually change.

Have a look and try it.
