DMX Assignment with Xlights
« on: December 07, 2020, 01:53:04 PM »
I have 4 LED PAR lights and a rotating head on my roof this year. I have them connected as in Slave/master with 3 pin xlr dmx cables with a 100ft dmx 3 pin coming into my main central location. I went into the zoom meeting yesterday and they told me to make a dmx cable to attach to my hinks pix pro and i did that. I still have no control over my items on the roof. I am set up in xlights with the Rotating head with 11 channels and the other four 2/ hbave 3 channels and the other 2 have 7 channels. It depends on the assignment ie d001 or a001. My question is is how do i get them assigned to xlights to make them work because right now they are set on sound and very loud outside. Any help will be greatfully appreciated.

DMX fixtures don't need to be in slave/master, just set first one to DMX address 001 (or whatever start channel you want to use) then the next one to the number of channels of the previous one and daisy chain the dmx fixtures.
eg
fixture 1 has 11 channels - dmx address 001
fixture 2 has 3 channels - dmx address 012 (1 + 11)
fixture 3 -dmx address 16 (12 + 3)
I know just enough to be dangerous :0
