PROFILE NEEDED!!!PLEASE HELP

If you can type the values that will be great. Otherwise I really cannot make a proper profile for you.
Welcome to the forums.
Sincerely,

Okay here is what I have. Hope it is what you need

CH1 0-255 Vert Movement (270 degrees)
CH2 0-255 Horz Movement (360 degrees)
CH3 0-36 Blackout
37-71 Blue
72-107 Green
108-142 Red
143-179 Blue and Green
180-215 Red and Blue
216-251 Green and Red
252-255 Blue, Red and Green (white)
CH4 0-255 Strobe fast to slow

Hope this is what you need. Thanks a million. Will the profile have movement macros and presets or just the basic operations? You're a life saver

Hey Jingles, never heard back if this was what you needed to create my profile? Do you need anything else?

Yes. Sorry. The day just started for me. But yes that is all I need. Thanks.
Also let me verify this, That fixture has tilt as channel one and pan as channel two?
And yes the profile will allow the software to generate pre set movements.
Sincerely,

Yeah, i know, its wierd. But how it is above is just how it is layed out in the manual. I really appreciate it. When do you think you will have it done? I would like to use them in a show this weekend, so wanted to program tomorrow or Thursday. Thanks again

I can have it for you by the end of today for sure.
Sincerely,

Here you go.

Sincerely,

Well, I downloaded it and installed it but it is acting very crazy. None of the channels were working properly. So i hooked it up to my old DMX board (DMX 55) and addressed it as fixture number 1. It seems that this may actually be a 5 channel fixture. Maybe the manual is wrong?!? CH 1 does nothing at all. Then the remaining 4 channels operate the fixture just as described. I hate to ask this, but can you make another one with updated channels? So CH 1 would do nothing(???) and then CH2 would be Vert Move, CH3 would be Horz Move, Ch4 would be the color Macros and CH5 would be strobe. Sorry for the mix up, maybe I got the wrong manual?
Thanks

try that one.

It s closer. The movement macros are not working properly. Nothing seems to resemble a "heart" or "square" and no control with the mouse. The Blackout and first color (red icon) do nothing. The Green icon turns on Blue, the Blue icon turns on green, the Red/Green turns on Red. 1st color macro is Blue/Green, 2nd is red/blue, and the one marked COL 1 is red/green. No Red/Blue/Green. Also the beam flickers all the time. Anything?

Also there is a "mode" section to select DMX, Auto or music

Well the only think I can think of is for you to write down the values preset for preset. since the manual is not correct I have nothing to go off of and you have the actual fixture and can test more quickly than I ever could.
Or you can learn how to create your own profiles. It really is not hard at all once you understand the basic concept behind it.
Sincerely,

I actually have programmed some basic stuff in the past. Could try it. I'm not sure how to get the movement presets in the page. I can handle the others i think.

Could the movement problems be due to Vert on Ch1 and Horz on CH2?

I don't think the channels being backwards will have an effect because the program generates values on the proper channel. One way to see would be too keep an eye on the dmx output window for those values and see if they seem backwards.
Sincerely,

Could you try one more before i give it a run? Could you make it like this?

CH1 Nothing somehow
CH2 0-255 Vert Movement (270 degrees)
CH3 0-255 Horz Movement (360 degrees)
CH4 0-36 Blackout
37-71 Blue
72-107 Green
108-142 Red
143-179 Blue and Green
180-215 Red and Blue
216-251 Green and Red
252-255 Blue, Red and Green (white)
CH5 0-255 Strobe fast to slow

No mode setting. I'll try this and if it doesnt work I'll try to do it myself, it will just take a lot longer with a lot of trial and error.

ok done. Try this: http://db.tt/8XU4BX7
Sincerely,

Nope. Colors are right, but light still flickers and movements are wrong. The following info is also in the manual. Maybe you know if these settings are affecting performance:

Detailed DMX 512 address code as following:

Light #1 original address 0 binary code reading 10
#2 address 1 Binary 10.5
#3 address 2 Binary 10.6
#4 3 10.5.6
#5 4 10.7
#6 5 10.5.7
#7 6 10.6.7
#8 7 10.5.6.7
#9 8 10.8
#10 9 10.5.8

Dont know if this is inportant or not, just exploreing all ooptions

Those would be your dip switch addresses. Those need to match what the software is telling you for starting address of each fixture. How many of these do you have and what did you use for a starting address? We could try putting pan and tilt back in the standard order see if that clears up the movements. Also maybe the pre set movements weren't exactly as you thought they would look? for the flickering make sure the strobe value is at 0.
Sincerely,

I'm running 8 of them. I have to address them 1 thru 8? I'm trying to address them starting @ 420 in the software due to other lights taking up the majority of the other channels. No channels are over lapping. I'll check the strobe but would be interested in trying pan/tilt back to normal. HELP! what the heck is going on? I've never had this much trouble inserting a page.

ok so then starting at 420 which is dips 3.6.8.9 and 10 on (10 will be on for all of the fixtures as I'm sure it puts the fixture in DMX mode.
Fixture 2 428 dips 3.4.6.8.9 and 10.
Fixture 3 is 436 dips 3.5.6.8.9 and 10.
Fixture 4 is 444 dips 3.4.5.6.8.9. and 10 on. Fixture 5 is 452 dips 3.7.8.9. and 10 on.
Fixture 6 is 460 dips 3.4.7.8.9. and 10 on.
Fixture 7 is 468 dips 3.5.7.8.9. and 10 on.
Fixture 8 is 476 dips 3.4.5.7.8.9. and 10 on.
I can modify the profile for correct pan and tilt channels. Let me know. And I have never heard of so much trouble for such a small fixture either.
Sincerely,

All dip settings are right, still having trouble. I dont know if you are allowed to, but is there a number I can call you at? You can email it to me.

of course I am allowed too. It is my job. email me your number at jamesk at elation lighting DOT COM

There you go.
Sincerely,

Hey. No go.Same problems. BUT...I messed with my old board and alotted 16 channels per device and was able to assign each light an address and control each light individually. Can this be helpful in determining what is going on with Compulive? Can you design a patch with this info?

Hey Jingles, did you see my last post? Wondering if the info could help explain why it isnt working for me

I'm really sorry for not getting back to you.
so you had each fixture on blocks of 16 channels and they all responded good? Kinda like it only uses 4 channels but needs to be spaced out in 16 channel increments?
Sincerely,

Yes, on my old board with sliders, I allowed for 16 channels per fixture and the worked perfectly. I contacted the manufacturer (in Hong Kong, of course)and the say that they may not be compatible with Compulive. That they have had this issue before and I should just use a 196 or 240 channel board. I tried to create a patch with 16 channels for Compu live, the 1st 4 controlling lights with no luck, but then again I dont know if I did it right.

Hey Jingles, any chance you can make me a profile for these that has 16 channels? Its worth a try. Also, Ive heard alot about compu show. Everyone seems to think it is better and easier to operate than Live. Can I use Show instead of live with my current adapter? Who knows, maybe my new lights will work with it?

Oh so you want me to add empty channels to the profile so that way it uses 16 channels? Sure i can do that. From which link above is the profile you want modified?

Also Yes Compu Show is simply amazing. if you have a 1024EC or 2049Fc you will not be able to use compu show software. If you have a Compu Cue basic, Compu cue, or Compu Show SD you can use compu show and compu live.
Sincerely,

I guess the original one. With all the data.

My adapter says 1024ec. How much is the Compu Show software adapter?

See the Upgrade pricing thread.
ok so the rest of the channels just make them empty?

I do believe this one was the one you wanted to be modified to have 16 channels.

Let me know.
