Stage Ape Hampster n DP415 n Colorverge

Do you want to download the hampster profile? If so I can link you.

For the DP 415 just use a generic par 36,56, or 64 profile as you only need a single channel of control for the on/off. Then just use number of fixture would be 4 for one dp 415 set too 4 channel mode. Make sense?
Also the good people at stage ape have their own dropbox folder for their profiles and they were kind enough to link up with mine so any stage ape profiles were made by them.
Let me know exactly what you need and I'll get it to you.
Sincerely,

Man your just right on point! Yes I would like to find the right profile for the Hampster. It seems like the dip switches do not work like others in that they function a slite different. Gotcha on the Dp415, I will put that into motion the next time I do my "homework". What about the Colorverge Lights. On my way to check them out and just may by two of them (they have used ones for a LOW LOW). I really appreciate you James. Been doing the "homework" to know this software and set things up right so I am ready for my next big show. Spending toooo much money on Lights, cables etc. and just want to have it all in order, ahead of time.

This is the link to the stage ape shared folder for the hampster profile.

I don't see anything in their folder for the colorverge. If you got a link to the product let me see it and I can make it for you and them.
Sincerely,

Actually found your link at the top. you can just use the min spot from chauvet profiles. Same exact fixtures.

It seems the link does not work on this Hampster. Even Unplug everything and start out with Channel 1. the dips on these hampsters are wierd. like dip 1 is red, 2 is brighter red, 3 blue, 4 brighter blue, 5 green, etc. So when I create using the download, (dip on 10 to recognize DMX Control), I get the light to "turn on" (Red), but no other colors or controls. Is it me or the light? That's the Stage-Ape Hampster.

Oh, I only have one of these and was going to get more because of cost. I WILL go to a different light to avoid this problem tho' because it is an investment after all and don't want to mess up for a "cheap" light.

I'm going to be setting up the exact same light this afternoon (except I have 6 of them!). I'll download the same file and see if I can troubleshoot with you.

Try reversing the current setting for dip 10 and see if that gives you DMX control. A lot of times the dips are backwards so on is really off etc lol. It happens.

No Good. I've tried 10 on (Stage Ape on) and off. Then All other switches on and 10 off. Tried dip 1 then even setting dip switches to "DMX Channel" Address. Thats worse. Just get the Red and thats it. Glad that your on by the way and thanks again for helping out. So, better to invest in others? Still got my regular Par Cans and 2 dp415's for that stuff.

Just dble Checked the Stage Ape Site and even the "Stand Alone" Controls are Backwards! Switch 1 is Red, not Green, Switch 4 is Green, not blue, and switch 6 is blue. Trying not to get frustrated but also want this to help out others. And yes, it is the Same Fixture that is listed here-

You might have to call stage ape. They also made the profile.

Yeah, i just sent them an email. They have this profile for the ADJ Software and I am just wondering how that works out for them. Again, Thanks for trying, How about you Matt? Any Luck?
My living room is a shambles with lights and "Stuff" but I'm determined. Don't mean to base any manufacturers BUT, if I should go to another light, I will.

Ya it is the same profile for my dmx than it is for compu live. both programs use the same .ssl files.
not too steer you away but for good affordable lighitng solutions. check out ADJ.

Tons of stuff.
Sincerely,

I should have been a little more descriptive. I'm setting up an entire light setup today. I just found out the extra fixtures that they're adding yesterday and was researching them. I've got them all wired in now and I'm setting down to add all of the pages and DMX address everything.

So I should know within the next hour or two.

OK. Good luck. Have fun.
Sincerely,

Well you are gonna love this guys. Here is the answer that I got from Stage Ape=

It sounds to me like you have an old LED-86. The Hampster and the LED-86 are two different units with different dip switch settings. The LED-86 that you have can be found in our discontinued section at the bottom of our website.

Cheaplights.com is our American distributor and they only sell the "MY DMX" software. There are to many different brands of DMX software for us to create profiles for all of them.

Thanks for your interest in our stage lighting!

And here is the Link for it-

James, don't worry about trying to get me anything on this. I am getting different lights that won't have this problem (thank God I only have one).
Matt, hope you have the newer ones and that they work out for you. check out your Robe Light site as well. Nice Stuff.

Moving on. Thanks for the help and support.

Note: those Colorverge Lights are working great AND this company also has low cost but "worthy" LED's. Already checked them out and even tested them with the software at the showroom.

ah right the guys from cheap lights do the profiles. Been awhile since I talked to them. got confused. If you wanna try a profile for that led 86, Let me know. it is a simple easy profile would take me 5 mins to make and upload and post the link. no joke.
Sincerely,

If you're still working today. I'd love the LED 86 profile.

It appears that's what I have as well. I'm having the same issues addressing them. :-s

There you go.

Sincerely,

That last file, I take it is for the discontinued Hampster, but is a Doc fil and the program does not recognize it. Thats the last link you put.
Now, I can't seem to do a par 36 to have 4 ch. I tried this PANEL_4 in the Abstract folder and it seems to turn things on and off but then the chase thingie I would like to assign to certain plugs. I disable the dimmer as to not fry any of the effect light that I have plug in. So I'm checking what works and doesn't to the best I can. Funny, I have colorstrip minis and that stupid hampster seems to click on every once in a while when I turn them on from the program. and there is no value set for it cuz so far I have not given it an address or even added it to my pages.

Crap. Sorry I gave you a file for compu show. I'll send the right file in just a little while. Sorry.

Fixed it: http://db.tt/2AGHUnY
Sincerely,

I just blank paged it for this weekend's show and edited them myself. I'll install this for them after tonight's event. Thanks again for the profile.

Their description of how to DMX address these things is crap. How about a simple "dip switch 10 turns on dmx," switches 1-9 set the fixtures address. I thought 1 & 10 had to be switched and then 2 through 9 set the address but was trying to see if switch two was value 1 or what. Blah... just buy more expensive lights... they already blink every 15 seconds or so (individually even though all of the fixtures are on the same channel). I'd skip these guys if you're considering buying and looking for reviews.

Thanks again jingles.

James, Can I get a profile for Emulation for this same light?

Thanks,
Chris
