Tips for those trying to get some light out of the Betopper Pixel BeeEye mover LM0740D

I've rechecked and the 23ch personality in library 20.0.0.2 matches the manual we were sent in Dec 2024 for this fixture.

Focus Speed homes to DMX 0 - "fast"
Strobe homes to DMX 255 - "Light up"

So, Betopper have either changed their firmware or the manual was inaccurate.
Sadly it also seems that Betopper don't put dates or revision numbers in their manuals.

If you can find an updated manual or determine the proper ranges for these, please put in an update request with these details on the fixture library hub (https://fixture-library-hub.etcconnect.com/) and we'll make the corrections.

If there's no updated manual then the easiest is probably to make a corrected copy of it using the personality editor, and send that to us once you're happy with it.

This is the output display after Home All and fade up to maximum intensity. Device patched at 401. Note strobe (409) at 0 [ligting off] and speed(405) at 255 [slow]

That is a different fixture.

Your screenshot shows a "LM1940" is patched, however the thread title says "LM0740D"

Can you check which one you have, it seems likely you have picked the wrong one when patching.

Well spotted and apologies, Richard. All good but I hope nobody else makes that mistake. 

Naming things is hard!

A lot of fixtures have very similar names, it's often quite confusing.

Just been experimenting with the LM0940D in the 35 channel mode. Checked and double checked the fixture name! Can’t get any light out in that mode until raising Intensity 2 whatever that is. Not too worried,

I'll stick to mode 23 + 7 x RGBY for now. I notice that the fixture hands control to the 'satellites' on an individual colour basis. So if the red on the main fixture is at zero you can get red working on the satellites but not other colours if they are non-zero on the main fixture. Looks like a solution looking for a problem but may find a use for it!
