2 scrollers, 1 dimmer

Molly,

i would patch it as:

Part 1 - Dimmer

Part 2 - Scroller 1

Part 3 - Scroller 2

You should then be able to adjust either scroller independently of each other by moving through the various color pages with the encoders. I have done this with rotators and i-cues, but not with a scroller. I don't see why this wouldn't work, but let me know if it hiccups.

The problem is James if both parts are the same fixture then there will only be one encoder controlling both of the Scrolls at the same time. Not giving individual control.

sammy,

you are of course correct. my mistake, the example i used would only work in a situtation where both scrollers were of different personalities/manufacterur.

I have had this problem too. And to over come it I have built a custom fixture as you guys have said with the scroller 2 attribute. This works a treat but you have to ensure you have consecutively addressed the scrollers on the units. 

At first i had tried to just make a fixture using the Scroller 2 attribute instead of scroller. The only problem was using "scroller" gives you the Hue and Sat Virtual channels and "scroller2" does not. Hence building both into one fixture so i can use the colour picker and reference my custom scrolls by colour manufacture and number. If that make sense 

Dear ETC:- Why does the attribute scroller when added to a fixture give virtual Hue and sat channels to a fixture, when "scroller 2" does not?

I guess the answer will be that the attribute scroller 2 is really for adding a second scroller to a fixture already containing a scroller, and not for building a fixture called scroller 2 

Happy new year all.

The problem Olly would be trying to distinguish which scroller you want to be controlling with the colour picker. 

If you had hue and saturation for both scrollers how would you determine which one you are controlling.
