I'm attempting to setup a forerunner color scroller system with my ETC express lightboard.
I saw a previous thread from 2009, that talked about a person having a similar problem (that is, they just aren't working) and they didn't go into much detail.
I'm setting them up to the second output universe. I saw on that other thread, that one person said this output had to be enabled on the board. That is my first issue, I cannot find how to 'enable' it. My dimmer # is 1024, so it seems it already is, but is there an extra step I'm missing?
I'm going from that 513-1024 out, to the power source in. Then going out to the color scrollers, for the purposes of this thread, lets just say 1. (although I am setting up a total of 6)
What I've done is to set the address to 1, which would correspond to 513 on the board. So I'm patching a channel with dimmer 513, to correspond to the scroller with address 1.
I'm getting no response from the scroller at all. There are 2 lights on the bottom, one is supposed to show that power is connected, and the other is supposed to show a proper dmx connection with proper address. The power light is on a constant red, while the other light slowly blinks a dim green.
Any suggestions? This is for a show coming up, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
