Help w/ DMX addys

lednylightingMember

i know,i'm a dumb drummer,but i'm running lights with a scene setter 16 and 2 DP-415's and i can't seem to get the dimmers to operate independently of each other, i messed around with the DIP switches and only got them to operate seperately on channels 7 thru 15 (only 4 channels per dimmer pack)respectively, i just want them to operate on channels 1-8 for ease, and is it possible for me to seperate each plug per channel (2 edisons per channel)or not, also could i add more DP-415's (hopefully 2 so i can run 16 lights if i can't seperate the 2 plugs per channel) by piggy backing off of the first 2 by using the DMX outs... sorry if these are stupid questions,but i can't seem to figure it out, thank you for anyone who can help.

The first pack should have only the first dip switch up and the second should have only the first and third up. This will make the channel 1 for the first and 5 for the second, thus covering all 8 channels you want.

No, you can't separate the two plugs so you get 8 channels out of each pack, its strictly 4 channels. However, yes you can add more packs and "piggy back" or "daisy chain" (which ever term you prefer) off of the DMX outs from the last dimmer pack. You should already be doing this where the DMX line runs from your scene setter to the first pack and then the out of the first pack to the second.

Good Luck!
