jstorms Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Picked up one the cheap DMX modules from Holiday Coro. When I powered everything up the DMX module was driving a sample set of lights through a demo routine.Do I have to program the DMX module to get it out of this mode? I thought it came preprogrammed as ch 141. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 When it recieves a DMX signal it will stop the loop, so it it has power it will continue to do that. As for the default channel I do not know.Im curious if the demo mode can be programmed out or is there a way that when there is no show to send a DMX blank signal.

bdeditch Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I would try it on channels 1, 2 , and 3. And yes, when you plug power into it, it will give a light show. Once you send it a signal the show will stop and your sequencing for it will begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubado Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 What happens after you stop sending a signal and power is still on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 It has a time out of x amount of time, when there is no DMX signal it goes back to color fades and effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DMX signal runs 24/7 in my display.Last year had a connection problem with one of the Coro Stars and helped me know it had a problem before the show started.Some do not like this feature, it is up to use it or not with that feature.

harrison0550 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 We tested this out this week in a thread located here.....http://forums.lightorama.com/forum75/31181-4.htmlLooks like it keeps the factory sequence from running both with LOR control panel running and or the xlights control panel running; depending on how you shedule your shows. So the factory set sequence shouldn't be a problem but more of a alert like Dennis said above letting you know what is wired up correctly and what isn't.
