Shape generator locking up

Post by caitlin »

Hi, Please excuse the inevitable etiquette transgressions from a complete newbie to the scene posting for the first time.

Hopefully this will attach my sig with my approximate set up in it. My dmx controller is currently NOT attached.

I've been experimenting with LED par cans trying to get my head round DMX in general.

I'm using a group of 5 showtec MH250S with 4 LED cans into Easy View. They're connected properly and for each fixture I can fiddle with all the parameters individually. My problem arises when running the shape generator against the 5 showtec lights, they chase around happily with one of the default shapes.

However, if i try and run a sequence from the queue switcher against the LED cans the shape generator locks up. the lights pan to a fixed location and the shape generator refuses to function any more, I have to reload the software to start it again. The sequence for the LED cans works fine alone.

I'm baffled what I'm doing wrong. The addressing isn't overlapping and each part works fine alone.

Also, I'm seeing the problem in 2.96J of the first fixture in the shape generator being ahead of the others, I read that this was resolved in this revision.

Ace software, cheers. :fs:
