Here is a sheet I wrote up in excel a couple years back. Written in excel 2007. It includes just about every conventional fixture type I could think of at the time. This also contains photometric data, where available. It doesn't include any of the new LED lekos.You can enter horizontal /...

This is how I setup lighting world to hold the excess inventory at my theater. There are approximately 80 fixtures there, and another 50 prehung n dance booms.

You can get the power cubes replaced for about $100 a piece if you do the work yourself.

When an etc sensor dimmer module dies, the power cubes are generally the culprit.In 8 years of working with sensor racks, both touring an installed, I've only seen a handful of modules die.

Hey fountain. I've been working down at the bcpa, in downtown bloomington, for the last five years as their master electrician.

Wouldn't it be easier to just have the supplier get you the correct fixture?

I think you should look at a laptop lighting solution like freestyler or other similar program. There are some free ones, and all you would need is a USB dongles that can be picked up for about $60. And generally easier for people to learn. Banks upon banks of looks and chases can get confusing.

For starters, what kind of service do you have? Do you have a worship band? What's the average age of your attendees?

Hmm. That's interesting. Are you running the latest software on the nodes?

If it doesn't, then I suspect a cabling or termination issue.If you're running from the computer USB dongles, to DMX cable to node, network, node to dimmers, then I suspect a network issue.

Does your theater lighting also run through a node?

Under the Shell, Settings, Maintenence. Load the face panel test to confirm the encoder is malfunctioning.Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Another thing to try, unplug the power from the laptop and run off battery. I've seen poorly made power supplies cause grounding issues.I've had similar issues with an etc ion in a theater where I worked. I was using straight etcnet2 from the console with net2 two port nodes. It turned out...

I see above that you're getting a libusb del error. Perhaps the dongle doesn't need a specific driver. Take a look at this link for installing libusb on windows. http://www.pinguino.cc/download/doc/libusb-windows7.pdfSent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

All these dongles, are USB to serial adapters. A quick search on your adapter, suggests that it is a Chinese knockoff, so finding the real drivers for this device will be very hard. I would take a look at the enttec website. Try the driver for the USB DMX pro.Sent from my HTCONE using...
