@derekleffew it is Rose Brand's Trevira Polyester Muslin IFR, so wouldn't that be "poly"?

Got a quote from one of the drapery houses on a cyc made from "Trevira Polyester Muslin IFR". Quite a bit more expensive than treated muslin. Went to place the order and another salesperson said "you don't want to get this, we get complaints that it wrinkles and they are hard to remove". So does...

Very sorry to hear that. Steve is the best.

So to follow up, although my home-brew unit using the DIY DMX tester circuit combined with a light-dependent relay circuit works reliably, I decided to go with a commercial solution for the project at hand. Remembered that Dove Systems had developed the PR22-WM 2-gang wall plate DMX-sensing...

Since the LED's work fine with your 624, it pretty much rules out a DMX or fixture issue since I assume you are simply swapping the same DMX cable between consoles. I suspect a patch or memory battery issue. The manual mentions "block" patching and "Val(ue)" which I interpret to be proportional...

Per your previous posts, the dimmer specs say there is a standard analog 0-10vdc output from each channel of your control console to each of your 10 dimmers. So ten 22 gauge positive wires and one common negative wire (a multi-conductor cable) would need to be run from the dimmer rack control...

Hope this is not too late, but I just found info from Rich at Dove when I had an issue with submasters not recording on a TechMaster a few years ago.If submasters are not recording because the “RECORD” indicator will not go out, and if it is not a defective submaster slide pot, it may be that...

I don't have the schematic but here is a spec sheet.

Rich Howe is your man at Dove Systems. Great guy and always very helpful. Give him a call at 805-541-8292. Do you mean that you can no longer record on any of the submasters (to the left of the master fader and crossfader) or that you cannot bring anything up using the the X or Y rows of faders...

Yep, adding the diode does appreciably increase the delay. Thanks for continuing to think about this! I did test with two different controllers and varying number of active channels; circuit seems to work just fine now.

I tried this and it didn't stop the chattering, BUT, I changed the capacitor to 10mfd and it seems to work great...very solid relay triggering. Will continue testing with a different number of channels up at different levels to make sure it will perform consistently. Then will have to take it...

Yep, good ol' Forrest Mims, circa 1996. Here is my collection:

So in my quest to come up with a DMX-sensing relay by spending $500 in my labor vs. $296 for the ETC CSR-D unit, I have built the following light-sensing relay circuit which turns on a relay when light hits the LDR (Light Dependent Resistor). It works quite well.My idea is to use the classic...

Received word today from the owner that Teatronics is still alive, just having some website and telephone issues. Website is back up now.
