Aurora and Firefly - what controller config

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   I can't seem to get Aurora to output to my Firefly.  I configured it in D-light HW config.  Set the channels to 15, 16, & 17.  Tested a short seq in Spectrum, and it worked fine.  Imported it into Aurora, but it wouldn’t output to the Firefly controller.  I even tried building a seq. from scratch, and added 3 channels manually, but it didn't work.   Anyone else having the same problems?  Any ideas?

	7 Colors, you forgot Red+Green+Blue ;) I'm not really shure if I'm going to create the 48 channels, of if I'm going to only crate the first 16 as the placeholder at this point. .... But I know I will... I want to see all the pretty fade/shifts.
	Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights. D-Light users Unite!

	Generic lor1 is best as legacy mode does not have enhanced lighting effects.

	Well, then, I'll do some testing this evening and see if I can come to any conclusions. After playing with 48 channels for just one Firefly, I was wishing for a color picker!! I'm guessing the the color picker will let you pick a "starting color" and "ending color" to do a fade/wash?? At this point, having to manipulate intensities to get a particular color is tough. Red, Green, Blue, Red+Green, Red+Blue and Green+Blue are easy, but that's only 6 colors. :(

	To my knowledge none of us betas have gotten a Firefly yet to play with - mine should be in later this week, provided they don't have to switch horses very often.

	OK, I've got my Firefly units. I went through and created the channels (48 of them!!!!!) but never was quite sure which "controller" I should put. As in - should it be Generic LOR1 or a D-Light ACx16 (1.13+) or D-Light DCx16 (it is a DC device, you know). What works the best? Give me enough time and I may test them all, but does anyone at AuroraShow already know the answer????
