    Control/Dimming Strand 200 / CD80 - adding DMX LED lights

    Just for some closure, I put into play all the things you guys recommended and it's looking like it boils down to the ol' Stage Ape light I've been using to test this operation being highly untrustworthy. I cut my 5 pin to 3 pin adaptor in half to do some troubleshooting and found if you...

    Control/Dimming Strand 200 / CD80 - adding DMX LED lights

    I don't know which model I have since they don't seem to write model numbers on their stuff. It could be either one as far as I can tell.

    I got turned on to the reverse polarity thing on a rabbit hole google search. You haven't had any issues with the polarity thing on yours have you?

    Control/Dimming Strand 200 / CD80 - adding DMX LED lights

    I think I nailed the dip switch thing, I failed for sure on the terminator when testing right out of the desk. When trying it from the CD/80, I'm assuming there's a terminator already in the system for the dimmers, you figure that's the case so another one would not be necessary on the one's I'm...

    Control/Dimming Strand 200 / CD80 - adding DMX LED lights

    I was really hoping you'd say that. When I tried it last night they were on hard power, were not clashing with the dimmers, and I had them assigned to their own channels. You think the reverse polarity thing is a decent possibility for the fail to work? (Now I'm second guessing myself, I'll...

    Control/Dimming Strand 200 / CD80 - adding DMX LED lights

    Our school gym/theatre (mostly a gym) is running a Strand 200 console feeding a CD80 set up. They had some random uplights (PAR 64 Stage Ape's, dip switch style addressing) someone had purchased gathering dust in a tub and it was thought that we might be able to use these as some DMX controlled...
