Moving Heads programed scenes location changing

[perrip]

Hello, hoping someone has an idea. I have some moving heads programed to just spot specific locations on a
stage area (like single spot on a singer or guitar player (as well as moving in other locations around the room) after playing a few other sequences, I try the play the sequences where the movers are going to specific locations on the stage and they are just pointing at random spots in the theater. I tried a "home" sequence that forces them to there original resting spot, before I do the stage specific sequence, but even then they don't go back to pointing in the right direction, if I do a fresh reboot of freestyler they work, but then eventually go back to random spots. Any ideas what I am doing wrong. I know I have done this many times before on earlier 3.65 versions of freestyler with no problem.

I have seen this problem too and could not find the cause. I have a bunch of movers programmed for a dancefloor and sometimes after playing some sequences they will move, but not where they were programmed to. Very strange. If I close FS and reopen everything goes back to normal for me as well.

Yes, thanks for your input!! it is weird, that's why I though programing a "home" position that was the same as a fresh start would work, but it does not seem to, I thought there was a chance it was the fixtures not having their position sensors working correctly, but a reboot of freestyler would not fix that. it may be a bug, but I am not convinced that I am not doing something wrong. Any other input would be super helpful. I have a show coming up where I need to spot specific locations at times.

sounds like a dongle issue, what dongle are you using?

Hello Partyman, thanks for the reply, you have helped me a bunch in the past. Well I started out using a DMXking micro, In my troubleshooting I switched to an Enttec MK2 and the problem still persists. Any other ideas?

Either of those dongles should work perfect, I am stumped for the moment

[perrip]

Well, I defiantly appreciate your input and suggestions, at least I know it is not something obvious I am missing
