It’s easy, you’ll be fine!

For each connector I would: - Remove the clip - Pull the IDC connector out of the receptical - Replug - Replace the clip Go systematically around the console doing this.

Only if I’m doing work on a board out of the system - in circuit, CMOS chips aren’t quite as vulnerable. I’m assuming you’re not running your feet on a nylon carpet first! But if you have a wrist band then might as well use it.

Just guessing but there is probably a ribbon cable dedicated to the displays (separate to wheels, buttons etc). I’m sure that was the case when I opened my Fat Frog a few weeks back. If you’re up for opening it I’d check that as a common cause - ie highly unlikely all LCDs themselves went bad at the same time!

In theory you can put channels across 64 universes. Might depend more on the ArtNet node handling two controllers. https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/patching/available-channels

That suggests they are just working on App Store issues to get the existing iOS apps available. No commitment there on updating them or getting the Android versions updated to go in the Play Store.

Juggler was a ‘simple’ 2-preset desk so I don’t think it was superseded by Jester which is a programmable desk. I think the lineage was more like: Level series -> Juggler Alcora/Elara -> Jester Illusion -> Jester TL, ML Sirius -> Frogs Stage Electrics had Juggler in stock (albeit clearance) earlier this year. I’ve not seen Jesters on sale new for a long time. So in answer to your question, Juggler could have been current until 2021/22 timeframe I recon. The datasheet says ‘(c) 2018-2021 Signify’ as a copyright date. The Juggler manual says 2005. So it was around for some time. Maybe search on the forum to see if Jon mentioned a discontinue date.

That’s weird. I see from this thread, I wrote an IFT fixture for another user using the 2.6 fixture tools and he reports it loaded and worked ok. This needs more investigation…

OK, I have an answer, employing "secret sauce". If the console is in global cue only mode, this means that upon recording, tracking will be Cue Only, and fixtures that are on will be snapshotted. Therefore, to capture values for fixtures that are currently off (0%), you would need to do a full snapshot. So go into the cue, stop the effect, SHIFT+RECORD > type the cue number > ENTER > Overwrite. @Worcester RGSTech I hope this finally solves your issue!

If that’s the case, how does he record No Effect in Cue Only? This needs insider knowledge of ZerOS. Where is @Edward Z88 when you need him!

Did you use Fixture Tools 2.6 and save an ift file? It should just work… Can you elaborate more on what you did? Maybe upload your fixture file here and we can take a look. I see you started a new thread - maybe we can continue on that (but please avoid double-posting, you won’t get help any quicker…).

If you’re in cue-only mode then I thought the console records ‘everything’. In which case your ‘No Effect’ should have worked regardless. Maybe that’s not how ZerOS works! In cue-only I wonder if move on dark can ever work. Hmmm. Others more experienced with cue-only may know!

Somehow you have to get a "No Effect" instruction in there otherwise even if your next movers cue is at a new position, they'll just start dancing around that new position. I'm not familiar with Solution but as it's a "modern" ZerOS console (i.e. post Frog2/LF94/ORB) I would expect it to have Smart Tag, assuming you're not in "Cue Only" mode. So I'm not clear why your Record and Update options boxes don't show a usable Smart Tag button.

This is why we’re here! Keep asking/sharing and we’ll do our best. If you can help out another user - either directly by asking a question of your own which is answered, or more directly, then even better. That’s how this forum works, especially now the Vari-lite support is minimal.

Just to check, did you run the cue first and then apply the recipe?
