Lixada moving heads

Hi! Welcome!
so one of the important part of the GO is the fixture profiles, if a profile is poorly made due to poor documentation, things like colors on a color wheel will not work automatically with the rest of the color effects as there no data in the profile to tell the app what color is being used. Same with Gobos, but the gobos are meant to be liek a toggle from the gobo button on the live page, but you are able to manipulate the gobo channels and then store the preset, you could manipulate all the channels from the fixture area and store the preset, but it's best if the gobo are added and simply used as a toggle.
so this really all depends on what fixture you have and if the profile is made correctly with the correct information. Same for Strobe, if its not linked right it wont work, if you want a white strobe i think then the color must be set to white.

Hi, thanks so much for your reply!

I have tried just about every moving head profile from Lixada and also tried some from UKing which did offer more control and I was able to see the gobo fixture page you mentioned in live view. This did change the gobos but wasn’t mapped to the fixture I’m using.
does this meant I have to create a profile myself?

This is the profile I’m trying to build. I tried to duplicate and edit one that kind of works for me which is “Lixada Gobo Moving Head 9_11CH”

struggling to get the colours and gobos to sync.
any help appreciated. Thanks

The manual lacks the details you need for individual colors and gobos, you'll have to write them down one by one as you mess with the fader in mydmx go.

Ok, here’s what I’ve managed to figure out;

Gobo

0-7 = spiral

8-15 = splat

16-23 = open

24-32 = Flower

33-39 = Burst

40-47 = spiral 2

48-55 = blocks

56-63 = dots

Color

0-15 = white

16-31 = Red

32-47 = Turquoise

48-63 = Orange

64-79 = Blue

80-95 = Yellow

96-111 = Green

112-127 = Purple

Ok, do you feel confidant to edit the profile, or would you like us too?

I have been trying but I’m not confident enough to do it. Tried watching some YouTube videos.
I don’t need any of the jitter or color rotation, just what I pasted above.
thanks

ok, do me a favor attach the 2nd page of the dmx chart for me, just in case we start it from scratch.
Does this fixture have a more specific name? and it is a Lixada right?
I'll try to get it up and on the built in library by end of the day. 

Ok, i have attached the second page and also a picture from their website showing the different gobos in case you didn't understand the names I gave them. Orange one is Spiral 1 and Blue is spiral 2.

Here is a link to the product page, not sure if it's helpful!

and here is the page I bought them form on Amazon.

I really appreciate your help.

Labelled the gobos to make it clearer

Right about the gobos, there's no way the Open is in the middle of the wheel.... right? Casue from your chart open is value 16-23 when it really should be 0-?

Yeah, I thought that myself. thats the value which opens the gobo wheel using the profile "Lixada Gobo Moving Head 9_11CH” Which is probably not mapped correctly. How do I find out what the values actually are?

Actually, maybe the spiral is the first?

Well then.....thats..... "unique"
i'll try to get this fixed and added to the library within 24 hours from now. and i will include the middle open in the wheel.... doesn't really matter as long as the profile knows which one is default. That's a def. a first in my 10+ years of making profiles...

Every day is a school day, right?

I’m fully aware that these are cheap Chinese lights that wouldn’t last long at all out on the road. Hoping they give me a few years in the rave cave before giving out!
the only reason I bought mydmx GO was because the sound mode is worse than terrible. I was on the verge of returning it and giving up so I really appreciate your help.
Thanks again.

No worries, my comments were mainly intended to be humorous. At the end of the day we all buy what we can afford and hope they work as best as they can. So we'll get this profile in tip top shape for ya. 

Considering these are $90 a piece they are absolutely amazing for the price!

Any luck creating a profile?

Yes it’s uploaded to the main library. Find the fixture again and it’s small dot by it should be yellow or orange indicating it’s got an update.
but you’ll have to delete and repatch what you hap patched already.

Thanks for your help. I am now able to control the hobos and colours!

I can’t seem to get any of the colour chases to work. For example, out of the 4 movers I have, if I set them all to white and one to green I was hoping that the green would cycle through all the lights. There doesn’t seem to be any kind of “set and forget” function on here? Am I missing something?

For color chases with fixtures that have color wheels, what you want to do is not select ANY of the colors on the outside of the RGB picker in the middle, this will allow it to try to find the closest color slot on the color wheel for the chosen RGB colors. Make sense?

Ah yes, that makes sense. However each time it clicks on to another program it flips back to the outer colour rings.

I was hoping this was something I could just leave in the corner and would provide better “sound to light” that the internal system.

I live having all the control and if I work the panel myself I can make really cool displays to the music but what if I just want to leave it to run on it’s own.? It’s either on slow, medium or high. It doesn’t jump to these programs based on the intensity of the music as far as I can tell.

Hello!  Just purchased the mydmx 3.0.  I loaded up the software and I see the above mentioned Lixada model light.  When I patch it and I try to do anything with the color switch I don't see it represented on the preview panel on the right.  I tried it with dimmers set up/off, etc.

if I choose the UKing similar model I can see the preview light change colors as I adjust the fader.  The strobe fader DOES work for the above Lixada.....but I dont see anything for color OR gobo when I move the faders.

Any ideas?  Thank you!!!!!!

This profile has colors and gobos for me when i patch it in.

Hi!  on the one you attached I see the colors and gobo on the left where the switches are....but I don't see it reflect on the right preview light.

On some other fixtures I see it reflect as I switch it in real time on the preview fixture.  See attached screenshot.  I don't see the red reflected on the preview light

Open the shutter channel, the light itself may not have shutter closed, but it did in the manual so it reflects that in the profile. The profiles are made as best they can based off of the manual.

Hi Jingles,

Thanks for being patient with me.  I have tried raising all the sliders in diff combos.  The only way I can get the preview fixture to show anything is when I use the strobe.  I do not see a dedicate shutter slider.  See attached.

What settings are you using to see the preview fixture for this profile?!?!?!?!

Click on the palette function to show the expanded  channels so you can get better control.
