DMX Smoke machine

[jgilbert1967]

I have a chavuet huricane 1600 DMX smoke machine. It has a XLR dmx connection. I also have a alphapix16 that has a 3 port DMX connection. Has anyone set this up in Xlights? What model would i use. It is a 1 channel machine. 255 is on and 0 is off

to date there's no dmx smoke machine, dmx LED smoke machine or dmx floods/spots style/graphic in layout, so I've just had to use one of the dmx moving head styles and set channels to match output requirements.

Far from ideal but does the job. Maybe one day the devs may find the time or inclination to add a few more styles to the dmx models.           not complaining as the devs do a great job with xlights

Just use the Bars style....its really all you need to know how the channels are set.

For Floods and Spots you don't need anything special they are like a normal 3 channel light and if they do have anything special just use a standard moving head style and it just won't move.

Attached is an example of a Flood graphic.  Do that with a Single Line model set to 1 node.  Change appearance to something larger.  For this I used Size 300, Blended Circle, 30 transparency.
