How to create a stable profile for HOG 500

Hey everyone, so I have created a hog 500 profile for the Chuavet Color strip.

It is an RGB 4 channel LED bar. However i'm having some issues with how Chuavet configured the light as far as channels.

This light does NOT have a "dimmer" channel. It only has a RGB color mixing mode that allows the user to control each channel individually, but how you do this is to bring up channel 1, to DMX value like 85%. It also has a bunch of chases that I tried to program in as Macros, but I could not get it to work (inside the profile I made), this is the first profile I have ever written myself and I atleast have 80% functionality.

fixture = CoStrip

parameter = Macro
default = 0

range = 170, 179, Chase4, noauto
range = 180, 189, Chase5, noauto
range = 190, 199, Chase6, noauto
range = 200, 209, Chase7, noauto
range = 210, 219, RGBMix, noauto
range = 220, 229, ColorFade, noauto

    Hi MadisonPanda,

    this one should work. I've commented some lines for better understanding.
    In addition: You created a 5-channel fixture. Each line which says "parameter = xxx" indicates a channel in the fixture. So we have to get rid of the "Macro"-Channel.

    //-------------------------------------------------------
    fixture = CoStrip
    manufacturer = 99
    product = 99
    name = Color Strip
    yoke = no


    output = dmx

    parameter = Colors
    kind = c
    default = 215 // without touching the wheel, you are in ColorMixing-Mode after you patched the fixture
    highlight = 215 // when you use the highlight button on your console, the color should be white (in my opinion), and it's easiest way, is to bring up all color channels to 100% and activate the ColorMixing-Mode
    crossfade = 1 // snaps this channel at the beginning of the fadetime
    type = htp8bit
    range = 85, ColorChange1, noauto // best practice is to use a single value for not changing parameters. Otherwise you can turn the wheel without changing anything to fixture, which can be very annoying ;)
    range = 95, ColorChange2, noauto
    range = 105, ColorChange3, noauto
    range = 115, ColorChange4, noauto
    range = 125, ColorChange5, noauto
    range = 135, ColorChange6, noauto
    range = 145, Chase1, noauto
    range = 155, Chase2, noauto
    range = 165, Chase3, noauto
    range = 175, Chase4, noauto
    range = 185, Chase5, noauto
    range = 195, Chase6, noauto
    range = 205, Chase7, noauto
    range = 215, RGBMix, noauto
    range = 225, ColorFade, noauto

    parameter = Red
    default = 0
    highlight = 255
    crossfade = 0
    type = htp8bit
    range = 0, 255,%

    parameter = Green
    default = 0
    highlight = 255
    crossfade = 0
    type = htp8bit
    range = 0, 255,%

    parameter = Blue
    default = 0
    highlight = 255
    crossfade = 0
    type = htp8bit
    range = 0, 255,%

    If there are still any issues, feel free the ask again.
