I just bought a Hypnotic RGB Laser to add to my lights. If I connect it directly to DMX controller, it works fine (in DMX mode). If I add it to my "chain" of lights, DMX doesn't work at all for any of the lights. The Hypnotic won't go into DMX mode... it instead jumps to it's "show mode" (Demo mode). If I turn OFF the Hypnotic, (flip off its power switch), the rest of my DMX lights will function as they should, including the lights after the Hypnotic in the chain. Hynotic is in the middle of my chain. Any thoughts?
UPDATE: I tried eliminating one light at a time to see if anything changed and if I remove the Dekker, the rest of the lights work (including the Hypnotic) ... if I remove the Hypnotic, everything else works (including the Dekker). They don't seem to "like" each other. I had the Dekker in the chain before with my old laser (Galaxian 3d) and all my lights worked fine.
