These videos are fantastic! Thank you so much for taking the time to put them together. I just discovered you this evening - I’d been daunted from getting into any of this because it seemed to complicated. You do a great job of break it down into simple, manageable bites. One question - once you’ve programmed a something (be it a scene, chase, bank), are the individual channel (probably the wrong term) no longer active? As in, if I slide them back to 0, will everything still behave as programmed? I’m assuming yes, but if you addressed that (thus far in the three videos I’ve watched so far) I missed it. Thanks again!
@LearnLizard2 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much for the kind words! If you save a scene on the Obey 40 when you recall it, it sends the needed DMX messages to each Channel on the fixture. The faders on the controller will have no effect unless you put it back into "programming mode" Then you can continue to edit the scene and save again. I hope that helps and thanks for watching!

Thanks for the kind words! Yes, if you set up a chase with the Obey 40, you can set both the "Speed Time" (which determines how long each scene in the chase will last), and the "Fade Time" which will determine how long it takes to transition between scenes. So if you set set both of these to longer times, your scenes should change slowly and smoothly. Appreciate you watching!

@LearnLizard2 жыл бұрын
It's easy to control different lights that are daisy chained together. You set each light to a different DMX starting address that matched the fixture # on your controller. For example on the Obey 40: Fixture 1 = DMX starting address 1 Fixture 2 = DMX starting address 17 (and so on) To change from 9 to 12 channel mode press the menu button repeatedly until you see "9CH" or "14CH" on the display. press the up and down buttons to change modes and then press "ENTER" Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

Hi and thanks for the encouraging words! To the best of my knowledge the only limit to the number of fixtures you could place on the same channel would be how many DMX cables you have LOL! To "mirror" one of these mini moving heads you would go to the menu controls and then "PAn>rPAn" to reverse the Pan (on just one of the 2 lights) or "tiL>rtiL" to reverse the Tilt. (or you could reverse or invert both the Pan and Tilt together) Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

You can control your lights separately by giving them different starting addresses and choosing which one you want to adjust by choosing the fixture on the controller (You can watch my “Simple DMX: Part 2” video for help with that- but once you save a scene it will remember the look of all the fixtures.

There is another parameter in the menu set up that lets you set maximum Pan angles (54, 36, 18) and Tilt angles (27, 18, 09) as well as well as a setting that lets you reverse the Pan and Tilt. Changing these could possibly keep them from pointing in your face without having to reprogram each scene. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.

What will happen if we connect this control panel into ETC DMX?
@grantjames32263 жыл бұрын
Quick question, is there a way to make the moving heads move slower or faster changing between scenes?
@LearnLizard3 жыл бұрын
Yes- you can control pan & tilt speed by sending a value between 0-255 on Channel 5 (in 14 Channel mode) or Channel 8 (in 9 Channel mode) Appreciate you watching.

Hi Steve, I have 2 turning heads with a DMX console - I plug a DMX cable from the console to my light - setup my turning lights as per instructions - When I plug and power everything up - my console doesn't make my light move at all - why is this not working ?
@LearnLizard26 күн бұрын
First I would try to get just one light working. Make sure it is in dmx mode with a starting address of 1 and that it is connected with a good cable. Then make sure the controller is in "program mode" and you have "fixture 1" selected. Now you should see the light reacting when you move the faders. I hope that helps!

Hi I need to know if this light can stand still to one side with the light on, not moving when you clap your hands or hearing music. Basically I need this light to be fixed to one side so that I can just change the colours accordingly

The auto and sound active functions are hard programmed in, so I don't believe there is any way to separate the color functions from the movement (unless you use a seperate DMX controller with a sound active mode to trigger custom scenes)

Thanks for explaining it so clearly! I've got a bit of an odd question though. I'm thinking of designing a sunreflector, also called a heliostat, and though of a moving head as a base / motor for the mirror. Would it be possible to program a moving head in a way so that it makes only one half rotation in a full day?
@LearnLizard2 жыл бұрын
Hi- that’s definitely an odd one. 😊 Although it’s probably possible to program some kind of simple Chase with 2 scenes and an extremely long transition time, I’m not sure if the mechanics of the fixture would be suited for that use. The motors and gearing are designed for quick movements. If you are able to create something that works I’d love to hear about it- good luck!

Can you program the lights without the board? I don't have the board and I'm having a difficult time to get to use the lights on learning how to change colors have them on different positions. Is there any other way to program them?
@LearnLizard2 жыл бұрын
With some lights you can make simple programming changes in the settings menu (like color) but with these lights you really need a DMX controller to do anything other than putting them in auto or sound active mode. You can get DMX controllers for very little money like this one: amzn.to/3r2Eu02 and its definitely worth it to get the most out of your lights. Good luck and thanks for watching!

I have six of the DMX LED par lights and four of the moving heads. Can they all be controlled by the same controller?
@LearnLizard2 жыл бұрын
Yes- The Obey 40 can control up to 12 fixtures (each with up to 16 channels) so you should be good. Appreciate you watching!

@LearnLizard Жыл бұрын
As long as your lights can be controlled by DMX you can use any DMX controller. For the simplest solution, a hardware controller (like the Chauvet Obey 40) should meet your needs. Appreciate you watching!

How do you control moving lights individually? I’ve been struggling with that
@LearnLizard5 жыл бұрын
You need to set each fixture to a different starting address. For example with the Obey 40 you would set the first to starting address 1, the second to a starting address of 17, the 3rd to a starting address of 33, etc. Then select each fixture on the controller (remember to turn off the other ones) and you will have individual control. Hope that helps!

Thats right, they can be the same or different lights. All that matters is what each one's starting address is set to.

Hey; no idea if you respond to comments still. Is there anyway to program these lights in the “fast auto mode” via DMX and choose the colour? I have a show I want to use these for but I need to turn the lights on only for certain moments so need DMX control, the fast auto mode is perfect, but I need it to only operate on one colour. Is this even possible?
@FrankElDragon2 жыл бұрын
Nice tutorials, one question, on those lights ch 8 is xy speed mode, what does xy speed do?
@LearnLizard2 жыл бұрын
When the XY speed is set to a high value the movements of the pan and tilt are fast. When it is set to lower values you get a very slow pan and/or tilt. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

@@LearnLizard Love your videos, I watched all of them, and thank you it helps a lot, im new in lighting and bought the lights and controller to learn and actually I just figure it out last night, i was programinig the fader in step one and specting to change the speed when it goes to step 2, but nothing ever happened, drove me crazy for some days, and then i realized that the speed changes when it goes from another step into step one (where the speed is proggramed)!! but thanks again you are the only one that responded to my question. by the way im having the same issue with sweetlight (show xpress) i created the fixture but xy speed doesnt change im confused, i tought my lights where not working properly since i had the same issue with both controller and programs but for now at least i figure it out on the controller.
