This is my first post, so please be kind. I have no prior knowledge of DMX lighting. I help out a local ministry and we recently purchased a used SD1 w/ Rev. 3.03 M1. We have 16-AM/DJ P64LED, 2-MD/DJ Accu Spot 300 & 4 Cheuvet Q-wash 250. None of these fixtures are listed under the fixture selection one the SD1. I read the SD1 manual. I am starting out by attempting to control just one P64LED. I have the #1 switch in the ON position and all others OFF. I do understand the addressing on the fixtures (1=switch 1, 3=1&2, 17=5&1, 35=6,2&1,etc). Since you only use switches 1-8, not sure what 9 & 10 should be set at. According to the P64 docs it's only a 6 channel fixture, simple enough (R,G,B,Color Macro, Strobe, Dim). How can I get it to the SD1 to work with the P64LED? I reversed the output polarity and only channel #4 produces any results; the power led on the P64 also blinked. Once I figure this one out, I maybe able to address another P64LED as fixture #2 and control the same. Should the 2nd fixture be addressed as 17 (switch 5&1) or another address? Later I will attempt the motor heads. Small steps...
Thanks in advance,
