That's fantastic. Thank you for explaining. I'm working on a basic power chair based wagon right now (it's charging up for the first time) and started wondering if there's any way to make it travel in any direction while the front face stays facing front. It seems incredibly challenging in my...

I know this is a couple years old now but the drive system that you have on your video is exactly what I'm looking for. It appears to be modular enough to be able to attach to nearly anything. I'm pretty new to automation and trying to wrap my head around the details of motors and gearboxes and...

@macsound This is a middle school production. My plan was to place the leko in the (largely unused, I think) pit area so that a middle school kid could easily maneuver it. I haven't mathed it out yet but I'm thinking an 18-deg with an aperture gobo in the gobo slot as needed since I can't have...

I'm considering yoke'ing an LED leko for Tinkerbell and simulating 'life' with dual rotating gobos. Anybody have any thoughts on which gobos I can rotate against each other to give the best effect?

Yup. Looks like that's the option. Thanks!

I am positive I had every instrument labeled with address. Eventually, I lost all address data on both lightwright (6) and Vectorworks. I guess i tried so many things that it just disappeared. I pretty much started over and re-entered everything manually and it worked. Not looking forward to...

I'm just getting to know this console. I think I'm getting the hang of it.I'm trying to figure out something pretty specific and it might require some kind of workaround.I have a cue where my iCue/Iris is opened wide. in the next cue I would like to iris in tight but I don't want to do it...

I'm very new at this so I may stumble through this- I have a fairly simple plot in VW. All channels and addresses have been assigned in VW. When I try to export to LW, only the channels export. The addresses do not. In fact, some of my attempts have caused the assigned channels in VW to also...

I had a nice chat with the extremely helpful folks at ETC. Our old LED's are included in the software already, so that's good. The console works exclusively in cue-only mode, which means a little more work and planning for me. It'll be a good learning experience for me, even if it's kind of...

I would definitely go with the Element but our preferred rental company doesn't rent it. I would have to get it from a different, and far less conveniently located vendor.

24 conventional dimmers, Some ULD360 with conventionals. Some old Elation Opti RGB LED pars, and an iCue with DMX iris... and a Radiance hazer.Also considering Elation Sixpar 200's

This would be for a high school musical. Luckily I will not be affected by the 40-channel wall but just barely. It never hurts to learn a new board but I don't want to spent the whole time regretting it, so I figured I would ask others before committing.

I've only been at this for a couple of years but I've become very accustomed to working with the Ion. I'm putting together a rental order and noticed that the Colorsource 20 is now available to rent and it's a LOT cheaper. The Ion is also not available when I need it at the from the company I...
