Hello, i want to control my motorized Laser Screen with Freestyler. I have a 3 Channel Relay Interface. Is it possible to Programm the 3 Channels so that only one Channel can be on? Because it is not good when the "up" function is on an the "down" is also on. :(
I Need it that the others channels will be set on "0" when a Channel is activated.
Channel 1 is up, Channel 2 is stop, Channel 3 is down.


Hallo, ich möchte meinen Lasergazemotorleinwand per Freestyler steuern.
Dazu müsste ich aber ein Fixture machen dass folgende Funktion hat.
3 Kanäle. (1 auf, 2 Stop, 3 ab)
Das ist so ja kein Problem.
Aber das Problem ist, dass wenn ein Kanal betätigt wird die anderen auf 0 Springen müssen da ja ein gleichzeitiges "auf" und "ab" betätigen den Motor kaputt macht.
Wäre schön wenn mir jemand ein Tipp geben könnte wie ich das mit dem Fixture Creator hinbekomme.

One possibility is to use the macro function. A macro can set a value in multiple channels.

For example you could have 3 macros:
Macro A would set channel 1 to 255, channel 2 to 0 and channel 3 to 0
Macro B would set channel 1 to 0, channel 2 to 255 and channel 3 to 0
Macro C would set channel 1 to 0, channel 2 to 0 and channel 3 to 255.

If you are running live the values would be sent immediately

If you are running a sequence then the channels need to be set to SNAP, not FADE. Based on your comment that the engine could be damaged, the SNAP setting is critical. When you are programming a sequence and you select the fixture note the small icon on the right hand side of the Freestyler sliders. If it is a green triangle the the channel is set to FADE. If it is a yellow lightning bolt the channel is set to SNAP. It if is a red circle with a dash then the channel setting is not recorded in this step of the sequence and will not change when Freestyler runs that step of the sequence.
