    Hi

    I actually haven´t get the clue in here....

    @Jethro

    You have got a LeapFrog that works fine with your dimmerpack, but other desk´s don´t ? - That sound´s wierd maybe it is a problem with the DMX start address. as the other possibilities are worked out.

     

    best regards

  4. for macs, why is the shutter grouped with the beamshape??

    @thearches

    Hi, basically "shutter" is a beamshape parameter ...

    and it is processed as a LTP "latest takes presence" value

    first to avoid misconception please say us what you want to do.

     

    @GLX

    little confused here: shutter isn´t the brightness and won´t be recorded when fixtures are de-tagged.

    You can always have a "dimmer" chase by detegging all your fixtures, but you can´t record any other value then brightness/dimmer

  10. movement of pos. pallette lost.

    Here are my latetest experiences of my problem...

     

    Leap Frog, 6x Servospot, 8x MAC 500 ...

    I blanked all pallettes before I began to program new ones ...

    I began the programming with the position pallettes ... like I usually do, because they are the most used ones.

     

    I programmed 6 Movements to pallettes. then I programmed 6 Beamshape pallettes then the desk shows the massage 'Saving desk data' on main display - know the movement pallettes seem to be static.

    PS I never used a existing pallette to create a moving one I setup a new position / movement for each.

     

    Please help - this error is wacky (to be gentle)

    Erm, still a little confused here Haytech.

    Can I just clarify what you did, so I can try it here and see if I can reproduce the problem...

    Program a static position palette, say P1.

    Select fixtures and output position palette P1.

    Wheel LCD shows 'P1' for all the position parameters, including the six movement effect parameters.

    Adjust all the position parameters, including all the movement effect parameters such that the fixtures now have a movement effect (eg circle).

    Save fixture position data as a new position palette, say P6.

    When you output position palette P6 later, it appears static, ie it has lost it's movement effect ?

    Not quite sure where the last paragraph about colour/beam palettes comes into this

     

    think what Haytech means is that after he has stored his movements into the palet, they all work fine, BUT when he starts programming the color and beamshape-pallettes, the position-pallettes lose their movement and become static.

     

    Pipo is right -

    All movements are working fine until I program some other pallettes like colour / beamshape

    I tried this on a Fat and a Leap it can be reproduced.

    Hi there,

    I tried it once again under testing conditions -

    I cleared every pallette first then I made some position pallettes.

    In this case I spotted one point in the room then I altered every value on position Pallette P/T / MovSp / Offset / Rota / Speed / Effect / Dim X / Dim Y etc.

     

    This is now a movement pallet i.e. P6

     

    But ( there is a big but ) If know other pallettes i.e. color / beamshape will be stored then the movementpallettes seem to be static ones ...

    once we had a show in Bremen On venue they had have a broken(!)

    elevator and we have to push all our stuff about 10 Stairs above.

    I sugessted to use the other elevators of house, but the staff of hotel says that this is not possible while guests are rolling.

     

    about 3 hrs. later the elevator was repaired.

    Hi,

    I mentioned on the above post, to use a USB one but modify it that it has a male XLR connector 1+ 2- please remember to use a rsistor about 300 ohms as you can´t feed your LED directly with 12 V DC.

     

    hope this helps.

     

    regards

    Just a thought - do you output one of the 'static' position palettes first, adjust the movement effect parameters as necessary, and then save to another position palette ?

     

    Hi, K-Nine

    that is exactly my point. Be prepared to get :? by the desk.

    Sometimes it plays back the generated and stored movement and sometimes not.

     

    Display shows indeed the P1 for all position data on the wheels display.

    but it can be altered.

     

    Cheers

    Hi Sam,

    please re-render your pic to 640x480 ( much smaller than now)

    The posting of images in the Frog Forums is allowable as long as there are only a few images per post, the files are compressed, and the images are small enough to load at a reasonable speed for our dial-up users, and do not fill a screen several times over.

    Hi,

    I normally program pallettes 1-6 with static positions and another six with movement.

     

    Now there seemed to be a problem creating a movement from a static position pallette and storing it into a new pallette ... the new stored pallette shows the static pos data after calling it.

     

    Our desk runs desk os rel. 9.6
