Hi guys. The venue where I'm working has trusses which are suspended from the ceiling with the motors mounted on the truss. The trusses are always hung. Never derigged as they're our only way to rig the lamps. Just wondering how often should the motors be serviced?Thanks ShaneSent from my...

I'm hoping to use the ole because itll make the programming side of things much easier. Rather than trying to figure out each signal that has to be sent to each mover for lamp on pan tilt etc. if I have it all preprogrammed on the ole in 2 cues and midi hitting go and back it'll make life much...

Well the German tour I'd be all for too. Yeah there's also whiskey in coffee. It's known as an Irish coffee. No joke :D or just whiskey with hot water is a good way to shake a cold. Another good use of drink is at Christmas with the pudding. Pouring brandy on the pudding and putting a match to...

I'm limited to a strand desk. However I'm now considering looking at other ole if it'll work with the arduino. From talking to my buddies we seem to agree the best way around it is to have the ole be controlled by midi and link it to the desk. I remember a warning that comes up every time the...

:D thanks! Yeah funny you say that. I have 3 friends who are in my course. 2 are brother and sister but they all share the Power name and are all from Waterford.As far as I know my own family originate from Belfast. It was a Clann (family; but in ancient celtic terms) that was 'invited' down...

Thanks man. Looking forward to a bit of banter alright :DSent from my Nokia 3310 with the height of WAP and Tapatalk

Well you see it's part of a project and the arduinos are available to us for free. Plus I want to see if I can do it. If not I'll get the pure data to push midi to the oe which I'll connect to the desk and do it that way. That's my back up plan anyway but I'd just like to know if it's possible...

It's a self running performance where the performer is being tracked by wii remotes. This is being converted to midi info in pd. I want pd controlling mainstage(which isn't a problem) and the strand oe. I haven't gotten this running yet as my laptop charger died :( but I do know it's possible...

post no2 here so apologies if its in the wrong place :)im building a project for my final year tech module. between the jigs and the reels im looking at building an usb to dmx adapter. i want midi signals (coming from pd) to control the strand offline editor which will control the dimmer rack...

hi there :)joined this to broaden my horizons and get some more ideas in regards to designing and rigging. started working in theatre about 2 years ago and must say iv fallen in love with it. most definately something i want to persue once im finished college. have exp with corporate av...
