problem...
« on: September 27, 2009, 05:46:00 PM »
ok... I have wired up 2 double lasers and 2 scanners to my dmx pad. Now the problem is, after a while of programming, running scenes or whatever, both lasers unaline themselves. For example one of the lasers on one of the double lasers may go slightly to the left or whatever. This happens on both lasers but not the scanners. How odd.... Anyway this problem has occurred before with a different controll pad although it was the same make and model although I bought them both new. Can anyone please help as it is doing my head in!  ???
Cheers.

Another thing to add, if you unplug the power on the individual laser it will reset itself but in no time unalign itself again. Also if anyones wondering, I am using a terminator so its not a data problem.

My guess is its just the lasers drifting, and thus no amount of terminating, unterminating, or changing controllers is likely to make any difference.

The same problem is happening with some new lights i have, so this can't just be a coincidence. so my guess is its ether the leads or the controller. Heres a link to the controller I am using- just wondering if anyones had any problems with this same one. Also the leads I am using are just general XLR rather than specific DMX cables, does this also make a difference?
