Reply to "First System - Halloween FX - DMX based?"

Let's take what Jingles said a step further.

DMX is a strange but robust protocol, which can be easily exploited in a huge varieties of ways. But that's a whole other discussion.

What's nice is that there is no rule saying fixtures can't have the same addresses as another fixture. So, for example, I have 8 64B LED pros, I addressed them all the same for now for simplicity. So, lining up two fog machines to the same address is no big deal.

But, depending on how you have the fog machines programmed, you may have to use a fader, because on the DMX Operator 192, the "fog" button is actually used to put some voltage down the fog machine trigger controller, which I think is a modified IEC cable. That's not a DMX function using that button. In which case, the idea falters.
