Title: hello and help
Post by: euthena on March 07, 2007, 09:27:32 PM

hi there my name is euthena
i have been away from the lx scene for about 4 years and am having differculty remembering basic DMX information.
here is the issue
i have two MAD scan 2 411ap moving fixtures i also have a MAD 1 DMX midi controller.
what i want to do is daisy chain the 2 fixtures together and have them on the same address. Fixture 1 is playing ball but fixture 2 (at the end) isnt "picking up" the signal on ch 1 and 2 even though it has the same address. each fixture is 4 channels.
can anyone help me to get these to run together. Thanks for any help or info xx   

fixture 1                                   fixture 2
ch1 pan                                    ch3 pan
ch2 tilt                                     ch4 tilt
ch3 gobo                                  ch5 gobo
ch4 colour                                ch6 colour

You've got your channels half overlapping; either the fixtures need to be identical and you assign the same channels to both, so both fixtures act exactly the same, or, you need to have them so no channels overlap so you can control them individually.
