I apologize if I am posting in the wrong section. I am new to the forum and lighting in general. I am running Hog4 PC in a club I work at. Self taught and programmed everything my self. I recently have encountered the first problem I have not been able to fix on my own. Several of the fixtures lose their signal from the PC. They behave erratically, shut off, sometimes turn on 100% intensity and position randomly. They won't take any input from the programmer. My suspicion is that my hog dmx widget is going bad (if that is possible). Or maybe one of the wires/connectors. Does anyone know if this is likely or possibly the problem. Any advice is much appreciated. I apologize again, new here and self taught on all the lighting stuff. Thank you
Im guessing no one responding because I have not provided nearly enough info or something of the nature. I tried to keep it brief. Maybe someone can answer just this question : What does a failing DMX widget look like, symptoms? I can't understand why several fixtures all of the sudden are losing connection with the PC. There are two DMX widgets, if I unplug either one half of the lights go out. If I unplug both, all of the lights go out. If I switch the usb going into the widgets to the opposite widget the same lights are still malfunctioning.
