Reply to "Setup - fixture drops, no show in faders"

gJingles : Oh you just made my life way easier! Hadn't grokked that I could create my own Brand folder with a collection of just the fixture profiles I use copied into it. Thanks.

I'll email you requested info.

Chris : The problem where a normally 2 sec. op takes 5 min. could be myDMX mem leak. If it never happens until thre program's been used a while and if the hard drive activity lit is blazing away (Windows swapping back and forth to disk), it's 'Thrashin'. Whatever's going on, you seem to have identified the culprit rightly, the MyDMX program.

And I should point out (for anyone searching for the solution) the fix for the problem that this thread is about is the one you've proved helps the problem you just mentioned.

quote:

Quitting MyDMX, unplugging the dongle, re-plugging in the Dongle, re-launching MyDMX clears the problem 9 out of 10 times.

Plug the myDMX controller in after (re)booting and before launching myDMX.



Also, set splashjr's to address 17 (dips 5 & 1 on) just to make sure I didn't have dip 1 on previously or a bad dip 1 switch.
