Hi Please could you create me a profile

Hope you can help..?

The profile in the library for the NJD datamoon only uses 2 channels and does not seem to work the datamoon.

I have checked with NJD and they say it requires four channels. manual is at: http://www.njd.co.uk/technical/354.pdf

Below is from NJD

The dish-motor appears at the start address, start address plus 1 is not used,
the colour/gobo is at the start address plus 2,
and blackout at start address plus 3.

Please could you create a profile for this so I can get my datamoons working.

Thanks and love MY DMX..only had it for one month.....

Jingles thanks for your fast reply..

The manual is on the link i posted.

I have however discovered that.!

with the dipswitch 1 up on the datamoon if I place the existing datamoon profile from mydmx (2 channel) on dmx universe slots 4&5 then I can activate the lamp 5 and the gobo 4 rotation is missing but if I add a single channel from the generic folder to dmx universe slot 2 then I can also use rotation..

NJD say its four channel but only three are used hence why in my scenario above channel 3 is not used.

This is from NJD explaining the traights:

The dish-motor appears at the start address, start address
plus 1 is not used, the colour/gobo is at the start address plus 2,
and blackout at start address plus 3. (i.e. If switches 32 and 8
are ON, then start address is 32+8+1 = 41, the dish-motor is on
channel 41 and the colour/gobo on channel 43, channel 44
controls the blackout.)
The DMX dimmer levels control the movement as follows:
dish-motor: increasing data gives clockwise rotation of the
beams.
The dish will take the shortest route to the new position, so
that continuous rotation can be achieved. i.e. from 255 to 0 will
be one small step clockwise, not almost a full circle anticlockwise.
DMX level colour/gobo
224 - 255 white circle
192 - 223 blue spiral
160 - 191 red segments
128 - 159 green triangle
96 - 127 pink star
64 - 95 cyan dots
32 - 63 yellow tunnel
0 - 31 magenta squares
The fourth channel controls the blackout as follows:
0 lamp off
1 - 223 normal operation
224 - 255 blackout shutter

Having this in one profile would be great.

Many thanks in advance

Jingles you are a legend...thank you very much and yes the profile works fantasticly.

While I have your attention is there a way of making the rotation constant..

What I mean is that if you do a scene with the rotation at zero and then the next at 255 , next at zero etc you end up with 360 rotation one way then 360 the other.

Is there a way of making constant rotation say to the right..?

Thanks ever so much for your help.
