Led Pixel 10c profile is not correct

Hi Larry, which profiles are you talking about?

led pixel 10c-480ch, pixel tube 360 10 sys pixelmode, and led pixel 10c. Those are the only 3 you have listed for this fixture.

I can make you any profile that you may need for these units. what controller are you using? My DMX 1? My DMX 2? Let me know. Thanks.

MyDMX 2.0 and it looks like the 7 ch. mode is best for the KJ operating it. Will it have the Macros like on the control box?

Yes, 7 ch mode has a TON of functions in it. Look at the DMX chart starting on page 15: http://www.americandj.com/pdffiles/led-pixel-10c.pdf

I'll make the profile for the LED Pixel 10C unit and it'll have all the modes in it except for the full pixel mode. for my dmx 2.0 and some other programs it is best ot patch generic RGB as a matrix. But you only need 7 channel mode so we will only worry about that for right now.

I'll have the profile done soon.

Done.

NOTE to anyone using this profile, Mode 3 is set for 32ch mode but it only has ONE set of RGB channels, you'll need to add in generic RGB profile after patching it and PER LEd 10C system you have! This is just a temp. solution until the multiple light beam function is enabled in my dmx 2.0
OK? Any questions, feel free to ask.

Profile works great thanks....
Thanks

Thank you so much. I appreciate that.

I noticed posts about making profiles. Im going to start doing that. I remember doing it for Martins Light Jockey 10 yrs ago.
Thanks again

Would really love to run the macros for this fixture and have full control of each tube like in 32chl mode, anybody no if this is possible also has anyone a txt file of this profile? thanks you

Hi Club, welcome to the forums, The 32ch mode is only master dimmer, strobe, and then the pixel control for all 10 tubes.

What program do you need a profile? I might be able to have it made for you.

Basically it would be great to be able to have a macro that just turned one tube on at a time (random tubes would be fine on a loop) and to be able to select a set colour or set to random colour as a macro in channel 7 mode as all the other macros are really good and programming all the macros into channel 32 mode would take forever and a bit more knowledge

Right that would be cool. Maybe for a future version of these.

I downloaded this profile and mode 3 seems to be exactly the same as mode 1…

I really need to be able to control the 10 tubes individually. RGB control, dimmer and strobe at least.

Is this possible/ is there a profile to do this yet?

Sorry about that, looking into this now.
but download the one for your OS and it will help once i send the corrected profile. Trust me.

This profile has been updated for ALL channel modes, but to get the most out of it, please use the links to download the program i posted in my previous post.

Cool, thats all of the profiles there on the newer version of the software. Will try it hooked up to the lights tomorrow. Is there issues with the visualisation of it? In the scene builder I am being shown loads of dots to represent the fixture, only so many of them actually change with the sliders as I move them, and the rest all change with the 1st channels rgb.

No, no issues. That's how it will be now with multi beam function now put into the program. I am can tweak the profile so it doesnt have mode 4 in it and that will get rid of a lot of those.

no, it's cool, I just wondered why all of the other change colour and flash etc when only 1-10 are being controlled… Is there any way to edit the grid in 480 channel mode to make it line up with the way the pixels in the tubes would look if you had the bars hanging vertically 1 to 10? Also, is there no way that the program will display a flash for a strobing light rather than it just being black?

Thanks for you help by the way, I'm looking forward to doing some programming tomorrow night once my ub box has arrived!

It's all controlled in the profile editor. I lines up all the pixels. so, if you can tell me how many pixels in each tube and their order, i can modify the profile.
Here is a link to an example pic: https://www.dropbox.com/s/e9oj...c8/pixel%20order.JPG

All the info I can find is there is 64 LED's per tube… At 480 channels I would guess its 16 pixels per tube… So the 1st tube would be channel 1 to channel 48, the channels would need to ascend vertically downwards on screen in scene editor, the next column would be 50 to 98, and so on.

Or if you are working by pixel numbers, column 1 would be 1-16, 2= 17-32 3=33-49 ...

ok great Thanks for doing the math! LOL

I can tweak it, i'll let you know when to try the same link for the file.

Thanks, while we're here… When I try and load some Chauvet Colour Rail IRC's into mydmx…they crash it.

How do you mean?
Here is the entire Chauvet folder from our Dropbox.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gp4...ckAeJYG8sDb7Z8cMNgXa

when you start up mydmx, and you drag your fixtures onto the channel grid, when I try to drag in a Colorrail irc it crashes the programme, it shuts itself down. Will try with a profile from that folder.

update, the profile downloaded from the dropbox for the chauvet doesn't work.

Also, the profile for the pixel tubes, the 480 channel mode only seems to give 256 channels that work, anything after that does nothing.

In the scene builder it might seem like anything after 256 doesn't work, but after you generate it, all channels are in use. I checked that yesterday.

I can verify the crash of the IRC profile. i'm looking into it now. I'm going to try remaking it and see what happens.

I have the lights hooked up here now, pushing up any slider after 256 doesn't light up any LEDs on the lights.

Is the 10C set for 480 channel mode?

Also I checked the ColorRail IRC, no idea why only mode 2 and 6 crash. so, for now try the other modes? I'll have to send it in.

Yup, it only reads 48 on screen but it's the only one up from 32. After channel 256 the faders spring themselves back down if I try to drag them up.

The ColorRails crashed the programme in every mode I tried to put them in on.

Hmmm.... Are you using the may 5th 2014 release? also are you on Mac or Windows? and which OS versions? Like Mavericks or Window 8/8.1?

using the version you linked me to a few posts ago. I'm on mac, latest version of mountain lion, refuse to upgrade to mavericks because it causes problems with so much of the software I use.

Hi andy, sorry, i didnt forget about you. We experienced the same thing after 256 channels. So for now i've made a 16 pixel profile going from top to bottom we can patch in 10xs for a 10C system. Here it is, please test this and let me know. Thanks!

That seems to work great, although the scene editor can get a little glitchy with the positioning of pixels. Is there any chance of doing this for the 32 channel mode, having the pixels racked up in their order the way I can with single bars, as at the moment that profile is a bit all over the place in scene editor. Any news on the Chauvet Color rail IRC's?

Ya, i can re-do the 32ch one. wanna move to this to email as i can flag these for follow up? jamesk at americandj dot com

Thanks!
