I had a PAR38 (yes a 38) do that to me last Christmas at a tiny church I was helping with a show up at - their PAR38 not mine. Scared the heck out of me because it was over the audience and I was scared someone got hurt from the tiny shreds of molten glass and sparks falling. Thankfully, no one...

Okay I got the comp hooked up to some Chauvet 200b led PARs and some Chauvet Omega 250c color changers our youth have. The 200b works flawless except for the dimmer. On these lights 0 is full and 255 is off. At first it didn't dim at all. I changed the included profile from min 255 max 0 to min...

I have the latest FreeStyler running on my Eee with Windows now and I'm loving it. Once I've actually used it for something important I'll write back here :)

Update - I got it running with QLC on my Mac but I cannot handle that program. It's horrible. Truly horrible. So it's looking like the netbook or the Mac will get Windows and I'll use FreeStyler. Since there's so little experience out there, I guess I'll have to write up my experiences for the...

Yes I have the Open USB DMX. I've successfully ran it on a desktop Windows XP computer at my church with FreeStyler before (old version). But in general it doesn't work well and most software seems flakey with it. That's why I'm looking advice before digging into it again!And if the advice is...

Thanks, it's the haven't used it in 4 years that I'm finding. The new version looks REALLY good. I tried Magic Q on my Mac last year (the Enttec box has been floating around awhile). I could never actually get DMX out of it. Nothing, no matter what I tried. I figured it only really worked with...

Hi, I got my hands on an ENTTEC Open USB-DMX box. I'd like to play with it doing setup for my church's Christmas musical. We have a Martin XCiter and an ETC Express 24/48 for lighting consoles. This box is more just something I'd like to play with during the setup - because I can VNC into the...
