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.

  • If you never want to use, any of the other functions but ColorMixing you can write it like this:

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


    output = dmx

    constant = 215 // this creates a channel, which is always on dmx-value 215. There is no possibility in the console to change this value

    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,%
