DMX input

Post by Andre »

Hi,

Does anyone know how to use the DMX input column in the editor.

I entered "1" in there and it chaned it to "None[0.0.127]".
So I am wondering what each of the parameters are.

OK I have sussed it.

The parameters are as follows:-
First number is Universe.
Second number is DMX Channel
Third number is the value for the above DMX channel.

So I have set my external desk to start at DMX address 240 so it does not clash with any of my fixtures.
I have entered 1.240.127 in the "DMX input" column for my scene.
Now when I move the first slider on my desk (remember I have started my DMX addresses from 240 on my desk) to 127 or greater it triggers the scene . If I have set the slider to exactly 127 then once the scene has ended I can re-trigger it via the flash button.
If the desk slider is not exactly at the value for the 3rd parameter pressing the flash button will trigger the scene and keep it running all the time the flash button is held down.

So I thought make it easy on myself, make the 3rd parameter 255.
Move the desk slider to 255 (all the way to the top) and the scene triggers.
Waited for scene to finish and pressed the flash button, nothing happened.
Is this a bug?
