Reply to "A silly question about polarity on a Show Designer 1."

As far as I can remember, the polarity switch should take the place of the polarity reversing cable to get the Robos to listen. However, other fixtures in the chain would then need to have a reversed polarity cable to 'un-reverse' the signal.

You'll just need to do some creative lighting plot design and daisy-chaining to get 'regular' and 'reversed' polarity to work in the same show. You will just need to daisy-chain all the Robos together and then put the reversing cable in between the chain of Robos and other fixtures.

As for setting the Robos up, there is probably a dip switch setting that indicates Martin Protocol vs DMX control.
