I thought this would be pretty easy. This is my first forray into the DMX world & I'm having trouble getting this to work as expected.

(2) ADJ Mega Flash DMX
Chauvet DMX-40b

The DMX-40b blocks off the 12 scanners itself x 16 channels, there is no programming.

Fixture 1 = address 1 = channels 1 - 16
Fixture 2 = address 17 = channels 17 - 32
etc etc

They are correctly addressed (1 = 1, 17 = 1,5) via the dip switches, but if I select fixture 1, fader channel 2, I can NOT control the speed. (EDIT) Dip #10 is on & I've got the DMX LED indicator blinking.

I've read/re-read and then read again the manuals. Nothing seems out of place.

Here is my layout:
[Chauvet DMX-40b]
|
[ADJ Mega Flash @ #17]
|
[ADJ Mega Flash @ #1]
|
[DMX-3F @ #33 (DMX Fog adapter)] - - - [Chauvet F-1050]
|
[ADJ MB DMX @ #49 (eventually)]

Standard 3 pin XLR, the 40b has a polarity selector that is set to the same config as the Mega Flash.

Here is what I expected:

I expect to grab channel 2 slider & set it to 255 (full brightness) & grab channel 1 slider & control the speed of the strobe between 1-20 flashes per second.

I would expect changing the channel values to be equivalent to rotating the knobs on back.

I've got 0 control. I'm not worried about chases/scenes right now, I simply want to hit fixture 1/2 & control the strobes individually. That's not happening.
