I got mine all wired up, but each channel just strobes with its respective color. Is the green light on the back to be solid or quick flicker with DMX

Knowing Dmx lighting fixtures if this box operates the same way I would say there may be a Dmx channel addressthat may trigger that strobe function that may be where you need to start. The blinking light is to let you know it receiving dataAlso check for a Dmx terminator if you not Shure run it thru your search engine

Not all strips are truly RGBC, make sure that you are lining up the correct inputs with the correct terminals. I had to switch some of mine around.

Get a DMX terminator and put on the DMX output of the last one in the chain.

If your unit has a DMX signal indecator, that will flash. The previous answers that have been given are also good. If you are not using 3 pin DMX cable and are using the cat 5 cable connections, you will need to make sure you have good terminations on your cable.

It just sounds like the dmx address is incorrect. I hope this helps. I'm not sure about the little light because we mounted ours in a wooden light box and would have to dis-assemble to check. Sorry.

Certainly sounds like you wired it correctly. Just remember that LEDs are polarity sensitive, so make sure your positive is on the red wire. If that is confirmed, then I have nothing more to suggest.

I've used it only a few times with the dmx off. They change the colors and I think intensity.

I had a similar problem but I thought it was the LED unit that I was using it with. I don't have any other equipment to test it on. I used the command line interface to issue DMX commands and found that if I sent the same one a few times it would eventually take. It was not consistent and I suspect a timing issue that could be corrected in the internal microcontroller. They are programmable so I was going to tweak the settings and try again. The LED unit I purchased is not powerful enough for my application so I never got around to it. It was an older/compatible model related to uDMX units. I got information on them here: http://www.anyma.ch/research/udmx/

If yours isn't doing like this video at the beginning then return it. It should look like lighting in the sky quick flashes etc...Hope it helps...really is a great light!http://youtu.be/CZXFgRxgj34

OK just bought these and had the same problem. The simple fix for me was the 3 position color switch on the side was set to the middle position - which equals off. Once I slide the switch to either blue or green, they both worked fine. Hope this helps.

Mine does not light up green as well. Never gets lower than 80 so it does not bother me.

Yes it dose it works with analog and RGB lights deciphering the two with the program , not all dj dmx lights are listed but you can make your own. All this doggle dose is be able for the end user to be able to use a laptop to talk with the dmx lights so far I'm impressed with the dmx doggle the best program to use is freestyler it isan open source program and best of all it's free if you need any more help add yourself to my fan page facebook.com/DJKIDD14 .hope that helps.

Mine don't work at all with DMX. That's the flaw with these Chinese made lights. Also why they're so cheap! What I do is set one to do whatever (strobe, fade, react to audio) with no controller and the rest I set to slave and that works. I just wish the DMX controller would work. Bah.

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.

Three wires rgb indicates red green blue. V indicates ground or negative. Use a dmx512. Use youtube for I structions

It's very easy. 1. Check that wireless trigger and ALL the the wireless receivers are in the same channel (this set has a 4 position switch, so check that all are on the same combination) 2. Check that the "SLAVE" interruptor is off (in the big circle, i guess it's the middle position)... So, they are going to trigger with the radio signal emitted by the wireless trigger. 3. Check that the lights are working fine. Use the "TEST" button on each strobe and check that all are firing. (I bought the kit too, but I've been having troubles with the seller... Who is your seller? Was your kit complete? Mine came incomplete, no lightstands and no triggers :( .. Thank you )

If you have the dip switches in the lower left corner of the unit, the first dip switches set the DMX address of the first channel. So to t and all others up.est with Channel 1, push the first switch down. The last switch determines if the unit uses DMX or the internal programs. That switch should be up, as well as all the others except #1 to test if it works on channel 1. The dip switches set the channel in binary numbers. If you want the first channel to be #4, then switch 3 should be down

Yes, it's normal. The LEDs are strobing on and off so there's less light output. The panel itself can only refresh at 240hz so the strobing is used to produce an apparent faster update rate. I don't recommend any option in the Motion Enhancement menu higher than 120hz. The 240 option does some bad things to both color and video noise.

From my experience, the DMX protocol isn't 'plug and play'. I had to spend some serious time finding out what channels do what to the fixture. It could well be you have a defective unit, but before returning it I'd do a search and see if there is anyone who's posted about your setup and see if that gives you more info. Hope this helps.

as long as you can DMX them together, you should be fine. just remember that this controller is only a 3 Channel, whereas the RGB is a 7 channel, so you will lose some functionality, but you can mess around with some of the programming options and get a lot of it back. all in all it's a great little controller to use for up lighting purposes. if you want to put on a fancy show you will need something more programmable.
