Getting started

Hello,

We are a small theater company in Canada.   We have the gadget II and dongle and EOS nomad, but havent used it for a few years and forgotten a lot.

I am trying to set something simple up for a small one man show in a  circle in the round.  Perhaps 5 to 10 cues would be enough. There will be an audience of only 30 or 40.   I am using my own Apple Air.   A different computer was used before. 

I have downloaded all the software, and attached the gadget and the dongle, and an Orion Orcan 4 light. 

I have watched several of the videos and read the manual but I cant even get one light to turn on

I am wondering if someone could help me get started on all this.   I would be willing to pay someone to help me.   Maybe over Zoom?

I am pretty competent overall with different computer systems, but cant figure this out. 

A few simple questions:
Does the setting on the Orion light matter?

The dongle has a SIM And ID number attached to it.  Is there something I should have done with this?   Is this new computer connecting correctly to the dongle?

I am guessing that there is something fairly simple I am missing.

Any Help would be appreciated.

  • Some questions first:

    • What OS version is your Mac running?
    • What version of Nomad do you have installed?
    • In the shell do you see Primary, Backup Client, or Offline w/Viz?

      or
    • The dongle has a red LED inside, is it on?
    • What version of the gadget do you have? Does it have 1 or 2 outputs? Is there a sticker "CPU2"?
    • There is a status indicator next to the USB port. Which color? Solid or blinking?
