FX for RGB pucks

FM Former Member
So I finally managed to set up a few of my lights last night to use with the new dongle. To keep it simple, I just set up 4 of my RGB Blizzard pucks. They respond very well to manually moving the faders up and down and such but when I try using the FX, they don't seem to work.

I obviously am only using the color fx but was wondering, do only certain ones work with these fixtures? I tried them all (chase, fire, etc.) and the only thing that happens is that when you hit play, all the lights just slowly dim and then go completely dark. That's it.

Hello Sunny,
are you using MyDMX 1.0 or 2.0? also, one thing you can check on the lights themselves have two differnt modes of operation when it comes to DMX. First is a 3 channel mode (RGB) the second is a 6ch... verify that you have it in 6 channel mode. this mode has the control over the internal functions which it sounds like you are trying to get working. bellow are the steps to check this. If you are still having issues, please email me at jeffreyp@elationlighting.com

1.) The default mode for the fixture is DMX, which appears as Addr on the LED
Readout. Use the button then the and buttons to
choose a channel between 1 and 512. Press again to confirm.
2.) To change between 3 and 6 channel DMX mode, select ChNd, then press
. Select either 6Ch or 3Ch, then press again to confirm.
