Hi there -

Any chance of a scan library update for the Chauvet Geyser RGB? I'm in dire need of it with 2 shows this week and more to come. Very difficult to use this fixture in manual mode, especially for standard haze or fog effects... I have to send out the haze in very loud full blast jets! ;-)

I saw someone post a Geyser profile somewhere for Chauvet's ShowXpress, but I have no idea if there is any cross-platform similarities with this stuff. Even if they were the same, I'd have no idea how to implement in into MyDMX without assistance. Although I'm an IT professional, I'm new (and self-taught) in the lighting world... doing mainly small club light shows for rock bands.

BTW - Jeffrey, thank you SO MUCH for the February updates (both software & library)!! You saved me just in time for a purchase and immediate use of some Chauvet Freedom Pars! Also, saved me with my new Windows 8 laptop.

Cheers!

Hi everyone (I hope the moderator is listening ;-)

Any idea when the next Scan Library update will be coming out?!
I understand there won't be any more 1.0 releases, but there was a promise to support the scan library & bug fixes right?

Is there anyone else out there that is in the same boat as me? If so, maybe folks are just not voicing their needs? (or even worse, silently giving up on 1.0?)

Since March, I've bought several fixtures that don't have 1.0 profiles yet. Several are Chauvet fixtures, and it's been so frustrating that I've even thought about switching to Show Express... but I LOVE MyDMX and ADJ!

My Chauvet Freedom Par RGBA are 5-channel, but I can only use them in 4-channel manual RGBA with a custom profile I created.
I am SO thankful you included the functionality for custom profiles, since I have 2 other new fixtures that I have fully functional by making my own profiles.
If any other users out there are doing the same thing, it would be great to be able to share our home-grown profiles while we're waiting for Scan Library updates. Maybe create a sub-forum for that?...

Are you updating 1.0 as often as 2.0? Probably not, since that's just how business works... and I do understand that. But you have some dedicated hardcore 1.0 fans out here. Possibly some are just waiting for the 3D visualizer in 2.0, but I'm happy with everything else 1.0 has to offer, including the simple and quick midi-controller assignment. That rocks!

Thanks for listening,
Lydia
Hey guys -

I just noticed a note in the DMX 2.0 Profile forum that has instructions for one-off profiles. I'm gonna try that, and am quoting it here in case others might have missed it like me.

"For profile requests, please email me a link to the user manual of the fixture you are requesting along with which program you are requesting it for. (MyDmx or MyDmx2.0)
Email Requests to: JeffreyP@elationlighting.com"



Thanks, Lydia
hey guys.. new to this site.. anyways.. i picked up mydmx off CL.. pretty cool program.. i got some non brand name lights from overseas and im trying to add them.. i've watch a video on youtube and learned the basic but when it comes down to adding the "value".. i cant seem to get the right one.. example.. "0-10".. i cant seem to get it.. i move the little "nob" up to 10 but the bottom value is at like 155 or something.. then i'll try to add the second value.. "11-15" but it starts from 156-255 or whatever.. so my question is.. how do i get the exact number?.. please help.. and this is in the Dimmer (channel 4)
Hi Jingles/James -

I just got eight of your Mega Go Par RGBA wash fixtures was planning to add more shortly (love them!).
Unfortunately I am in dire need of a profile, and was very surprised to find that the latest Scan Library only includes the 1 through 7-channel ssl files... what about 8-channel mode?!

I run fully programmed light shows, and with only the the 7-channel mode you don't get any of the built in program functionality! :-(

I've had problems in the past getting Chauvet profiles for MyDMX 1.0... actually still waiting for over a year for a Freedom Strip Mini RGBA 5-channel profile!
Although attempts have been made, the ones sent your techs have sent to me just do not work :-(

Actually part of the reason for moving to American DJ fixtures was I thought I'd be up and running quickly (apples to apples, you know?). Unfortunately I can only use the Mega Go Par RGBA fixtures for static uplighting, and not for my band show lighting design until I get the 8-channel mode profile.
I'm ready to buy more as soon as I can program them though! :-)

Thanks for any help you can provide (and advice on the Freedom fixture "stall" would also be appreciated!)
Lydia
Hi James thank you for the answer but at the moment I can not find a valid link with the pdf manual in English I know that there is a file in the library MYDMX 2 called PLLEDML7W.ssl2 that is correct version, but i am not be able to use in MYDMX 1. If you can not do otherwise in the next few days I'll try to scan the manual attached to the moving heads to post it in pdf.
thanks
best regards Andrea
Hi James, Proel PLLEDML7W manual contains the following configuration:
Channel 1 Pan
Channel 2 Micropan
Channel 3 Tilt
Channel 4 Microtilt
Channel 5 XY Speed
Channel 6 Strobe
Channel 7 Red
Channel 8 Green
Channel 9 Blue
Channel 10 White
Channel 11 Color Macros
Channel 12 Auto sound Mode
Channel 13 Reset
May aid to make a profile?
Thanks
Best regards Andrea
Hi James, now I bought 4 par mod. Stairville Quad Par Profile 5x8W RGBW I want to command them with MyDMX 1 is possible have a version of the file .ssl also for my system in place. I know that there is a file in the library MYDMX 2 called Quad Par Profile 5x8W RGBW.ssl2 that is correct version, but i am not be able to use in MYDMX 1. Could you convert into the old system?
thanks
best regards Andrea (Italy)
I am needing a profile for the Antari SW-250x snow machine. I didn't see one in dropbox unless it is listed differently.

It is probably simple. Here is the info.

DMX CONTROL OPERATION
SW-250 has on-board DMX control and the addressing is via LCD control panel. SW-250 uses 1 channel to control output on/off and volume. The channel has a value range from 0 to 255. The on/off function can also be programmed with a DMX controller or DMX control software used by lighting and effects operator. Channel A
11-255 = ON (1%-100%)
0-10 = OFF
If the value of channel A is set between 0 to 10, the unit is off.
While the value is set between 11 to 255, the unit is on.
Note: Once DMX cable is connected to the unit, then the LCD control panel, W-1 transmitter and HC-1 controller connected cannot be used.

How does a ceiling fan cool/warm a room?

Affordable ceiling fans are a standard home cooling and ventilation option. They are inexpensive, simple to install, and provide a cool breeze during the hot summer. Many people, however, may need to fully comprehend how affordable ceiling fans work to cool or heat a space.

First and foremost, affordable ceiling fans do not indeed lower or raise the temperature of a space. Instead, they provide a wind-chill effect, making you feel more relaxed or warmer. This is because fans circulate air around the room, creating a wind that cools or heats the skin.

Ceiling fans can cool in the summer by moving air and providing a breeze that helps drain sweat from the skin. This evaporation process cools the body and makes you feel more at ease. The fan's blow also helps to distribute hot air that may be trapped near the ceiling, resulting in a more uniform temperature across the room.

Ceiling fans can still be beneficial for temperature regulation in the cold. For the blades to spin in the opposite direction, most affordable ceiling fans contain a reverse switch. Warm air that has ascended to the ceiling is pushed back into the room when the blades revolve in reverse. This can help maintain a more consistent temperature across the room while minimizing the strain on your heating system.

It's helpful to look at the theory behind how great cooling devices create a wind-chill effect. When air passes over your skin, the rate of evaporation from the skin's surface increases. This evaporation process necessitates the use of energy, which is obtained from the skin, making you feel cooler. This is comparable to how perspiration cools your body while you exercise.

Affordable ceiling fans operate by creating a breeze that circulates air around the room. The fan blades push air downward, forming a column of air that passes across the room. This produces a wind-chill effect, making you feel several degrees cooler. The faster the blades rotate, the more air is moved and the more significant the wind-chill impact.

It's vital to note that ceiling fans work best in spaces that aren't too hot or cold. If the temperature is too high, the fan may not generate sufficient wind to relieve cooling. If the temperature is too low, the fan may produce a draft, making you feel even colder. In these cases, it is preferable to alter the thermostat or use a different heating or cooling system.

Ceiling fans can be used with other temperature control methods to create a more comfortable environment. An outdoor ceiling fan, for example, can circulate cool air from an air conditioning unit or disseminate warm air from a heating system. This helps maintain a more consistent temperature across the room, lowering energy costs and improving comfort.



Finally, ceiling fans do not change the temperature of a room. Instead, they provide a wind-chill effect, making you feel more relaxed or warmer. Ceiling fans can produce a soothing breeze in the summer, helping to drain sweat from the skin and distribute heated air from the ceiling. They can be used in the winter to force warm air back into the room, generating a more uniform temperature.

The physics behind ceiling fans is the wind-chill effect, which occurs when air travels over the skin and enhances the evaporation rate. If you understand how they work, you can utilize ceiling fans to create a more comfortable environment in your house.
