MDG The ONE Fogger/Hazer

Has anyone had luck getting this to work on a GIO or EOS?  There is no profile for the the unit yet and under our old OBS2 I just ran it with subs to control unit power, PSI, haze/Fog, fan, etc.   It has five channels of DMX.   Under the GIO, when I bring up the first channel which powers and heats the unit, the MDG cycles on/off/  You can hear it clicking away.  It never did this with the OBS2 and going to the GIO is all that has changed.

Maybe port speed difference between GIO and an old OBS2?  I am still playing with this.

    Why not make your own profile for the unit?

    if you make profile you should be able to control each channel using ranges for the different settings. 

    given the settings in the manual it shouldn't be that hard, if you do that a macro should then be able to turn the unit on and set the output you desire. then you should only need to set the output on/off and fan speed via subs, assuming you don't need to control the output % often. if you do then you could just record that directly in to a cue/sub easily. 

    i would say that you shouldn't be recording the on/off commands (Ch 1) in to subs or cues, this could be causing the cycling your describing. make a profile and use the lamp controls to turn the unit on and off. 

    i have an atmosphere and that's how i do it. i turn the unit on at the start of the day via a  macro, then have another set of macros to park the functions i need to create the output ( just the haze on or off for me) that i desire. 

    have a look at how the other profiles look and that should give you an idea on how to create one for "the one".
