I've heard this mentioned before when I've had other issues with communication between dimmers and consoles. The only problem is I've never seen any setting for this on any of the boards I've used - we've got an ETC Microvision, an ETC Idea 48 and this Leprecon LM 850.The way people seem to...

That's a good thought. I went to look for a setting like that, and didn't find anything. But I did try turning on the dimmer preheat, and that completely got rid of the flashing problem (yay!). Now with the preheat on, I have a ghosting problem (boo). The ghosting actually seems to effect...

Thanks for the advice. I just spoke with Leprecon and they were very helpful. I tried a couple things, but to no avail...But the plot thickens. I realized that the problem is between only specific dimmer packs, and not other DMX stuff. Here's my setup, in the order that they are daisy...

Hello, Everyone, I have a Leprecon lm 850 that I picked up used. When I tried to program some looks with any fade time that's more than 0, during the fade the lights will drop out momentarily, or flicker. It happens both when I use the "go" button, or when I use the manual fader. Does...

It's fixed. I'm not sure whether I should laugh or cry, and quite frankly I'm a bit embarassed that solution was so simple... There is a set of dipswitches on the back of this board, which the previous owner for some reason went to great lengths to hide (it was camouflaged with a small...

Yes, the Idea works in the other theater with those dimmers (elation DP-415 packs). The breakdown is that all 4 boards that I have (Idea 48, Microvision, Leprecon LM-850, and Elation Scene Setter 24) work with the elation dimmers, but only 2 of the 4 boards (Leprecon and Microvision) work with...

Thanks, all, for these great suggestions. I've been in the theater trying to implement them. Unfortunately, to no avail. What I have been able to conclude is that there is clearly a communication issue between the dimmers and 2 different boards, which seem to be having the same exact...

Yes! That is absolutely accurate. The dimmers are Colortran Model 200-701. Anything come to mind?

Thanks again, so much for all of your responses! I can get back into the space in a few minutes (theater by night, dance rehearsal studio by day...), so I'll try the deep clear the board when I can get back in there - the board has never been used in our theater, so I don't have to worry...

Thanks so much for the response. The patch is set for 1 to 1, and I cleared the memory first thing upon receiving the board. The channels that are up when I plug in the board are NOT registering on the monitor, as in the board thinks they are not on. It is the same channels that come up...

Hello, Everyone. I'm new here! I had a question I thought maybe you all could help me with. I just got an ETC Idea 48 (which needed some fixing up to get in working order). One of the strange things is that it was retrofitted with a 3-pin DMX out (no, its not microplex. Just 3-pin DMX). So...
