  5. USB Stick for back ups - Any particular specs.....??

    in FLX

    Posted

    Morning folks.

    I was doing a bit of setting up last night and took a couple of USB sticks with me to load on the desk.  One worked i.e. the desk seen the contents, the other did not work i.e. no contents at all seen.

    They are both Sandisks one 8GB the other 4GB and both formatted to FAT32.

    The one that did work (which I have had no issue with since first use) was the 8GB stick.

    Does anyone have any idea why the 4GB stick would not work. It is basically a back up for the other and contained a full copy of the 8GB stick........???

    Hi Uriahdemon,

    Can you not "scroll" (press and swipe left) the tab buttons to see the rest of the P/T Grid? After that tab should be an "Effects" tab which will provide you with the parameters that you're looking for.

    Indeed and thanks John. I am that used to the FLX and using a mouse with PhantomOS. It never crossed my mind. Keith was also very kind to respond to a support email I submitted. All good now  !!

    It seems to be my LCD Display on S48 Phantom.  The tabs I can see only go up to mid way through the Pan/Tilt Grid.  I have tried resizing the LCD window and also Win10 Display Settings but nothing helping me get the full picture including the 'Effects' tab.......??

    I have provided a link to a screenshot which will explain it better.

    Hi Dimitri,

    I have an issue you may be able to help me with please.  I posted on it yesterday but some of your post here helps.

    I see in one of your images that the top of the S48 window you have an effects tab which brings in speed, size, offset and rotation encoder parameters.

    I am using S48 Phantom and my tabs only show over to Pan/Tilt Grid i.e. no Effects tab.

    Can you help on how to get this to show please....??

    Auto palette generates the default colour and gobo palettes - what you get when you press the button in the middle of the touch screen when you’ve got a fairly fresh desk. 
     

    Palette just means one you recorded yourself eg RECORD -> COLOUR

    Thanks KGallen

    If you have a small Windows laptop (touchscreen even better!), get this connected to the console over Wi-Fi, and walk round the venue with it patching.

    How is this done please Ed.  I can connect up my IPAD to the desk via wifi and use ZerOS remote to trigger playbacks.  I am not sure how to do this....??

    Once patched, create all your auto palettes and groups as a base.

    What is the difference between a palette and an auto palette....??

    Thanks KGallen, yes I dont know as yet but interested in trying it out. I have a visualiser so will have a try with that first to see how it maps across.

    I really dont know what movers I will come across when this is up and running so need to find some way to changeover quickly and efficiently.

    Hi,I have a Zero88 FLX control desk with two wings.
    I have been using it for a few years now with my own rig. In preparation for some potential work next year I need to set it up for maximum flexibility and capability. There is a chance the venues will be bigger and I will be using a small ground package and hooking into the house rig. I have done this in smaller venues and coped by getting fixture specs , positioning and DMX addressing info. Some venues were really good with a tech spec some not.
    So the info I need some help on would be to help in a situation when you get to a venue with no tech spec info at all. How do you set your desk up, what are the work flows used for fixture selection groups, positioning etc.

    Hi Ed,

    I tried your suggestion and the 'Test' Mode showed no issue with the faders.  I did visit Mr Screwfix yesterday for the can of air duster and applied that afterwards also

    Fingers crossed it has not occurred again.  I really dont know what this was....  very weird but hopefully that is it now.

    Thanks very much again for your help (especially at the weekend) hugely appreciated.

    Hi everyone,

    so while getting things ready for my first piece of work coming up soon for quite some time the hand of doom has visited. 
    Faders 1,2 and 3 are acting up. If I raise 1 the intensity on 2 also raises. I can also touch fader 2 while it is in the low position and the intensity flickers. Fader 3 intensity also flickers and changes intensity outputs.
    Has anyone seen this before please. I have a week to get this sorted ?

    And that sticks OK? I'm impressed! Have you got a link to the film you used?

    Yes seems just fine....

    Here is a link to the pix I have put together for it. Includes info on the film and have also included the template.

    On the film this was some stuff I have had lying around for years but also just ordered some water resistant film.  Here is the link for that:

    That's brilliant. I'd look at doing something similar except I regularly have to carry my desk up a spiral staircase so I have to keep it down to something I can lift with one hand.

    When it comes to spiral staircases that will be the ‘B’ Rig.... 😌

    Good afternoon all.

    I have spent a bit of time with Swan Flight (who have been fantastic) designing and building a case for my FLX rig and thought you may appreciate a pic or two.

    I did this as it saves carrying several different cases around and it also helps with setting up and breaking down time.  It caters for the FLX, 2 X Wings, Laptop (Running PhantomOS as a tracking back up), Touchscreen, Ethernet to DMX Gateway, DMX Splitter and a MIDI trigger.  Of course there will be situations where I cannot place the case where needed so will use a separate touchscreen, Wing and Laptop via a small Ethernet to DMX Gateway but again that is all in the case.

    I thought you may appreciate a couple of pix.

    PS....  I am lucky enough to have a transit to cart this around.
