    oscilloscope

    Looking to get an oscilloscope for my shop, we have been making some fun little Arduino/DMX actuators over the past year and having a scope should make life a little easier when troubleshooting prototypes. anyone have a favorite brand/model?

    Rosco I-Cue mirror problems

    I've got a few pretty badass psu that's working well withing tolerences (We use 3 to 5 icues per show). Was talking to ROSCO and the tech narrowed it down to the Programmable rom which needs a ROSCO workshop to reset.

    Nope it's set to 16-bit and moves fine it's just a little (less than a degree) momentary jog every few seconds.

    Control/Dimming The joys of retrofitting (or a tale of Microplex conversion)

    It was a 120ohm .5w. One of the previous techs was notorious for interesting undocumented gadgets so what i think is that he was going from 5 to 3 pin DMX for the first time in our main space, read the original dmx spec and thought to terminate the redundant lines.I'm all the way out in the...

    Control/Dimming The joys of retrofitting (or a tale of Microplex conversion)

    I think I've got it fixed! I made a dmx terminator and stuck it on the dmx out of the converter. That seemed to work for a while but then i got one flicker an hour or so later. I then had a memory flash: when i took apart the dmx cable I remembered a little bit of tape on the body ground and...

    Yep I've got it terminated internally via p6, I'm going to grab the bits to make a dmx terminator when I'm in the city tomorrow just in case that bit isn't working.The flutters seem to hit one channel at a time with the interval between being anywhere between 30secs to 60mins. It seems to be...

    control is 5' away and I've tried with a couple different cables.I've also plugged the converter into it's wall wart and I still get flutters.

    and the controllers I used were a smartfade a leprecon 524 and a enntec dongleAnd all the jumpers are in the correct spots.... I'm all out of ideas at the moment....
