Brand new today to mydmxgo and dmx altogether. I got the wifi connect to my tablet, lights powered and hooked up. I loaded 1 LT QUAD BT, 1 Intimidator 160, 1 swarm Wash. and 1 Colorband Pix M profile. I have 2 of each light. Do I need 2 profiles each? Reason for asking is that I'm having no luck getting a master slave set up for each of the 4 pairs of lights. Thanks. Shep

Hi, so if you want individual control of each light, then yes you want to patch in 2 of each, also the fixtures should be set to DMX mode, not Master/slave. DMX and master/slave are two entirely different modes on fixtures and neither needs the other to work, ok?
Yes on don't load 2 sets of profiles. I have all set to dmx. All respond on the decks. But the mirroring of movement is not working on the intimidators. And if one fools the other how is it possible to get the two to meet their beams center stage? If there is a definitive site to learn these aspects of mydmxgo and my lights, please advise. Thanks much for chiming in on my behalf.

You have options:
1) Assign each fixture a unique DMX address but adjust the zone for the second light to be inverted of the first one in My DMX Go. You can drag the box for the zone so it's completely opposite of what it was.
2) Give both fixtures the same DMX address and then invert the pan on one of the fixtures in the light's menu. Both lights will always be doing the same thing but one will have inverted movement, so they will mirror each other.
Actually there is no need to set both to the same address and then try to invert pan.
If they don't line up then try to limit the Pan and Tilt range for them both to be within the same area and then that should look much nicer, as well as the rest of the PT effects.
PS, very sorry for the huge delay in reply to the OP.
