I am programming cue chases. Here is my process, and a scenario.
Patch: 6 dimmer packs, 1 fog machine.
1. Select the dimmer pack's sub fixtures.
2. Set the Dimmer to 100%.
3. Press Record
4. Select the play button that corresponds to the cue I am programming to store the setting
5. Press Clear
6. Choose the next set of fixtures
7. Repeat...
Issue 1..
Step 1 of the cue does as I programmed it to do. But the dimmer pack stays at 100% the entire cue. It never fades out. Step two will fade in, then step 3 will fade in, then step 4 etc... but before each step fades out the entire cue must be executed. On the last step of the cue, step 2,3,4 etc...will fade out all together.
What i am trying to accomplish is having each step executed in a linear manner versus a cumulative manner. For example, step 1 is red, step two is green, step 3 is blue. I am trying to go only red on, only green on, only blue on, repeat.
Issue 2...
Fog machine dmx address 025, I checked the dip switch settings at least 10 times. That is not the issue.
The fog global does not trigger the fog machine. Using the dmx monitor, I notice the address corresponding to the fog machine goes from 0 to 255 each time i press the fog button as expected. As a test, I hooked the fog machine up to my previous light controller and tested it on the same address. It works perfectly. Any Ideas?
