I'm having an odd problem getting an Intellabeam 700HX working properly.
In DMX mode this happens, with the bulb in:
Which makes me think it's the logic board. Should I try swapping some of the chips in the DIP sockets with another logic board?
The bad part about it, is I can only test if it's fixed by having a bulb in it, so you get to waste the bulb's life turning it on and off again troubleshooting.
Anyone encountered this behaviour before?
In DMX mode this happens, with the bulb in:
- Turn it on
- Fixture initializes/homes
- Works perfectly for 20 seconds
- Then the color wheel continuously spins. It still sorta responds to DMX, because it will do the color spin correctly, but when you set it to just a solid color, it simply slowly spins.
- If you try to reinitialize it/home it, it won't respond to DMX anymore, and it won't home again, as if it's locked up.
