LightsByGreg Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hi, I programmed my Intimidator 1.0 light recently. There are a couple points in my light show where it is supposed to stop and hit my light flurries ball. The first couple days I used the light it worked perfectly, hitting the ball and staying there every time. But now when it is supposed to hit the ball it goes there, but then it keeps moving around in a random pattern. It still starts and stops at the right times during the show. Anything I can try to fix this?Thanks,Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightsByGreg Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 Yes, it still does the same thing from the hardware utility. I even tried different colors, same thing. I'm going to go play with it some more.ThanksGreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightORamaDan Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Has the equipment been outside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightsByGreg Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 The DMX light has been in a "housing" that is not enclosed completely but has a roof for the light. I do take the fixture inside every night that it is outside and put it out before the show starts. I have not put the fixture out in bad weather.

LightsByGreg Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 I brought all my DMX equipment to the the desk just now. I think the XLR cable is having a problem. I tried my other cable and everything is working perfectly. I even tried the problem cable on my other intimidator and it was also causing some jittering. My guess is maybe there is a little moisture in the one cable. So sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for all the help!Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidt Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 G'day Greg,Just a thought, but do you have a DMX terminator on your last DMX device? That could possibly be causing some of the eratic behaviour.Cheers,davidt - Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightsByGreg Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 I do not have the end terminated. A "dry" cable seems to work OK for now, but I will consider this for the future. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
