USB Footswitch to use instead of Mouse Click

would be awesome, however, mydmx does not have an advance function. Would be awesome to do that though

Thanks for your advice sir.

Still hoping to get a response from someone who has used a USB footswitch to see what advice they can give me.

Lawrence,

Just got into DMX lighting and Jeff (not Jim - inside joke) continues to be an excellent resource of help on this board.

The question you're posting had a possible answer come in via a response on a thread about an issue I was having with my Obey 70 at www.harmonycentral.com

A couple of users over there have told me about a fair amount of success they've had in applying the Behringer FCB1010 footswitch to a rather inexpensive light control software that employs a USB hardware box. The system is put out by an Australian manufacturer called Enttec. Their product is called "DMXIS." Apparently the footswitch is also plugged in via USB to the lapper that provides the platform for the DMXIS software. These guys said the Behringer seemed to sync up with this system pretty seamlessly via another USB port on the lapper. It apparently gave them a decent level of control allowing them to toggle up/down within banks to quickly select 1 of 10 scenes within each bank.

If you sign up over at Harmony Central with an account, look for users "Mutha Goose" and "Stratguy22." The direct thread where I picked up information from these guys is at: http://www.harmonycentral.com/...td-p/34672291/page/3

Good luck with your application question and I'm sure you'll find the answer. What a helpful bunch of knowledgeable and experienced folks, like Jim/Jeff here!!!

Hey, that’s very helpful! And I agree that JWP is just what you say.

I am busy at work at the moment, so will check out your suggestion at home tonight. Many thanks.

you two are to kind.... Im just passing on my years of road knolege to assist you all in getting your dreams to come true....well, atleast your lighting dreams :-D Best of luck with all of this, im talking to the design team to possible configure a "go/back" trigger....maybe in a future update we can get it working

Hi Jeffrey. I am pleased to hear that you are talking to the design team about a Go/Back trigger. I have my fingers crossed that they can do it at some time. As the sound and lighting operator for our tiny (amateur) village hall/theatre the booth has only space for one (me) - so having to handle the mice for the two laptops at the same time is tricky. Exploring the USB footswitch idea right now for the MyDMX laptop. Cheers!

I was able to get it added to the "add" list. When it comes out, who knows...but it is looking like were going to use the up and down arrows as go and back buttons.... will find out some time soon if this will be added and when

Many thanks to you and the design team for taking such a keen interest in this topic - it's very much appreciated.

I assume that anything on the design team's 'add' list that they are able to incorporporate will only be written into the MyDMX v2 software? I am still on MyDMX v1 until the 3D visualisation facility eventually becomes available on v2, when I will immediately upgrade as it's fantastic added value to me when pre-programming the lighting plots for our productions.

well yes, however, so you know...the show files are the same.... so, from what i have been told you can design your show in V1 using the 3D...then simply open it in V2 to run live.... But yes, the add list is for MDX2 only and future releases
