I'm working with 2 Chauvet Colorado 3's and 2 ADJ LED Par64's, controlled by an Elation Pro. Magic 260. The Colorados work fine but the Par64's aren't cooperating. They work but not as they should as per the board. Any Suggestions?

Only other thing I can think of is how did the back up die? Did it take a voltage surge from like a lightning strike for example? It might have damaged the DMX drive in the console and/or fixtures.
The only other stuff I can think of is the standard stuff like DMX cable and not mic cable, tried a terminator, and the thing I suggested on the Elation forum.

I'm not sure exactly how it died. I've been working with the board for a year and a half...could have just run out of juice. It didn't recieve a surge or anything of that nature as far as I know. I work for a working band, and whenever It's not in use it's unplugged. I have them working well enough for now, but I don't have as much control over the them as previously. As for the cables, we've already run into that snag and corrected the cables.
Thanks for the advice.

How about double checking addresses on fixtures and fader channel assignments?

Are you using P64LED's or the 64 LED Pro's because the channel mode on the LED pro's might be on a different channel mode.

I have six 64B LED PRO lights.
2 of them do not have the seven (7) channel mode.
I can only get them into 3 channel and 6 channel mode. Are there different versions floating around out there with different firmware? How can I get the new firmware loaded into these two lights so that I get the same behavior across all my lights when in DMX mode.
Note: the 7th channel adds "Dimmer" functionality.

To run the 7 Channel Mode, press the MODE button until “001” with a small dot underneath the middle number is displayed. This is the DMX addressing for the 7 Channel Mode. Set your desired DMX address.

SirWesley,
When first released the 64 LED Pro had only two DMX modes (3ch and 6ch). You can upgrade the firmware by replacing the I.C.'s, which are available for purchase on the American DJ Parts website.

Swapping out the IC's for firmware upgrades?
Man, that's so old school, but I sure do love it!! You gotta love that kind of support, because ADJ is stating a fact about product evolution, and then providing a solution to the issue.
A: What kind of company does that? A company that cares.
B: Even though they are SELLING the solution, there IS a solution.
