hello everybody!!

I've a Karma Strobe 1500 DMX and a GUS USB VL344 DMX converter.
I use the last version of FreeStyler.

My strobo when I try to use it whit FreeStyler it doesn't work, doesn't respond to any commands by the program.
I've tried to use the strobo with a normal 16ch dmx controller and it works!!
I've used the fixture of a Stairville 1500 Strobo, which has the same channels of my strobo.

Some tests I can do?
Thanks a lot

Just because it has the same channels, doesn't always means the DMX values like up correctly so it will cause you problems. My thoughts would be to make your own file for the fixture as generally with strobes it's only 2 channels, so pretty simple stuff.

Well you'll need the correct manual to make sure you have the right DMX values to work from. Then you can start creating a fixture file for it. If you've never done one before, then I suggest that you start by looking at FS wiki which give some good tutorials on getting you started.
