Robe 300 LEDWash

Where did you get stuck trying to make your own personality?

In Mode 4 the attributes you want are (in order):
1: Pan, 2: Pan Fine, 3: Tilt, 4: Tilt Fine, 5: User 6*, 6: User 5*, 7: Colour Wheel 1, 8: Zoom, 9: Strobe/Shutter, 10: Intensity.

*User 5 is normally Control functions. You can pick any User fader you like for these attributes.

Attached is a quick show file containing a User Personality for the Robe Robin 300 LEDWash in Mode 4.
- I am a little surprised at your choice of mode, why not use Mode 3 (15 DMX channels) which has colour mixing?

Hi Richard,

Thanks so much for sending this file so promptly. We tried it and it worked, but as you rightly suggested it does not have colour mixing enabled.

I thought the colour wheel would link into the desks inbuilt colour mixing facility, and I was wrong.

Is there a chance you have a Mode 3 .asc file available (15 channel mode) as you mention above?

The problem I was having is the fixture would simply not fade up - we spent 7 hours today trying it before I had notification of your email!

With thanks,

David

The fixture not fading up would imply you missed out the Intensity attribute when making your User Personality, or the Strobe attribute was stuck at "Shutter Closed" (0%)

I've attached a Mode 3 version.

Richard,

Most excellent. Thank you kindly.

Warm regards from sunny Australia.

David

any chance of getting a personality for mode 1 for congo?

Here are all the modes for Congo for the Robe Robin 300 LED Wash. The show file is for version 6.1.1, so if you are using an earlier version, please use the IMPORT function to import these templates into your show.

Thanks much -

To get zone control on the SFML you will need to patch at least 3, possibly 4 devices - one for each zone plus whatever general parameters you have for the whole fixture. It's possible you can build a custom device for the general functions, plus perhaps one of the zones if you need to keep the device count lower, and then use a generic RGB (or RGBA/RGBAW) template for the other zones (depends on how the fixture DMX mapping is set up).

If you have access to a Nomad dongle, it might be easier to control such devices from a Cobalt setup rather than on the SFML.

Hope that helps -
