Re: snow machine

pulighitng ·
I built one that we used for a snow fx for a small play it used potato flakes and a little glitter. It worked great but did not cover a large area. You can also rig a snow drop using to pipes and a border if you have rigging in the space. Our actual machine uses a mixture of MrBubbles and rubbing alcohol it has a large vacuum motor that shoots the mixture thru a sock like net to form foam. The alcohol makes the bubbles dissolve and dry out quick. It is the loudest FX we own.

Welcome to the forums Snakeman! All you have to do is daisy chain all of your fixtures together. It doesn't matter what order you do them in, just try to find the shortest path. If your DMX run is longer than 100ft it is advised to terminate the last fixture. You don't need a DMX branch or opti splitter. Just come out of you board into the first fixture, out of that fixture and into the next, etc. etc. Also you may want to take of your e-mail address or seperate (robjan AT telus DOT net) it...

32 max is pushing it. I generally start having problems with LEDs at 8 fixtures, depending on length of the run and fixtures in question. Dimmers, I daisy chain those things forever and they don't care, and I am talking racks upon racks upon racks. Movers, depends on the brand and length of cable in question. Some days it's 16, others it's 20, sometimes I can only get 6 on before the 7th starts acting up. If your last fixture in line is acting funny, and a terminator isn't helping, chances...

Re: more easyshow screwups

I'm not exactly sure but remember the lights are plugged into the power and dmx is going through each one and dmx goes into the dongle which is hooked up to the computer running the software and there is also communication between dongle and software. Whew kinda long huh? Haha! And the lights are the new ADJ accu spot pro's. And I love em. Try doing what the software wants you to do over the net first. Cause if simply reinstalling doesn't work then what?? Sincerely,

Re: Understanding the DMX Operator

serraava ·
James, your explanation about DMX is right. A way (but VERY BAD and by no means recommended way) to prove this is plug it into an audio console and the channel get's constant single. Again, don't do this on purpose, you most likely will fry the pre-amps on that channel effectively killing it and/or can fry the DMX transmission device if phantom power is on. Chris, DMX constantly transmits do to its nature, not for failure. In fact, there is no error check in DMX which is the reason it is not...

Go to software preferences and then go to output hardware and then uncheck auto detect. Then go to the upper right dropdown and select art net. and for as many art net universes you are adding add a art net but change it too art net protocol 1, 2, etc. Make sense?

I'm new to setting up the eNode 4 ethernet node. I have a network setup with 12 - eNode 4 units, each of them needs to to be configured for all 4 DMX ports set to output.
