[QUOTE="Shane Presley, post: 17921, member: 110"] Re: Club install dance floor movers + addition - DMX problem UPDATE - So I went into the club, took the trackspots down ( I was moving them anyway), and set them all on deck. Jumped them with short 15' mic cables, and fed the first one with a 25' mic cable from the light jockey dongle. All the lights freaked out. Removed them all but the one fed by the 25'cable and it was all good -I tried all of them as a single and any one trackspot would work. SO I tried adding just one more, and they would freak out. I added one more with a dmx cable, success. I had brought 600' of DMX line with me to make custom length cables anyway, so that is what I did. Everything up in the air, all patched in and ........Ghosting, still. I terminated, and it helped but they still ''stutter''... There is still one more 50' mic cable (the one through the ceiling) that hits the first fixture. So when things warm up around here, I'll be running a dmx feed line instead of that mic line. I also found that the minimac that was in between the pairs of t beams was not passing pin 1 through it's DMX through jack, so it came down, and out of the line... [/QUOTE]
