Hey guys
So I have a rig with four VL2k's and four Elation Design Spots and am having an interesting issue.
One of the Design Spots (last on the chain as a matter of fact) keeps having a tilt error -- no errors showing on the display, but it keeps shifting its programming about 90°. The other night I noticed it wandering near the grid while the rest were ballyhoo'ing on the floor. I go up to the fixture and it is clanking around like it's doing its homing sequence, only constantly.
After removing the terminator and seeing no change, I go for a "reset all" from the fixture's LCD and it behaves properly for about 2 performances. Then last night it goes rogue again. Power cycling the fixture or doing a "recal" from the console does not effect it - it just seems to lose its home position and the only thing that seems to work is a reset from the menu.
Any idea on where I should start? Seems that the issue is in the fixture itself and not in the cabling or console since the software reset fixed it (for a while). Maybe it's a dirty or bad tilt sensor?
