You might be able to do some jiggery pokery with the wires to the motor ?

hmm did not want to get in to that lol

If there is no DIP switch you might have no choice.

If the motor is reversible you could put a changeover toggle switch on the wires and mount it on the chassis to make it easy to switch normal or reversed.

Dip switch 10 does the trick I seem to remember. Change the switch on the slave and it should invert.

You were trying to invert the lights without joining them together? Give me strength....:rolleyes:

Donut!!

Sounds like it, now what he should do of course is to join them up and invert them :D

[Rowleys]

nah they where joined up but to make them invert with dip 10 there need to me master and slave with out the DMX controller

Soon as you put the DMX controller in it just does what it told both light do the same thing

Also light never had no Warranty label on so if anything did happen i would just turn the plug round and send it back job done

[Jiggles]

you could invert them on the controller

nah my dmx512 is just basic sound lab i tried everything playing with the dips

i could do it if i used the pre-programs on the light work's good but i want them to point at my mirror ball when told

I'm sure your posts would read much easier if you punctuated them.

I'm finding that I have to read some of your posts at least twice before I understand (I think) what you mean.

You need a DMX Inverter.
The Soundlab controller is wired reverse signal +ve/-ve to most other lights.
Which means the Acmes will do the exact opposite to what you tell them.

I have one inserted into the Dmx Out of the final Colourscan, so when daisy-chained with the Impossibleds (Acme !) and LED Parcans (Thoman) everything reacts properly.

If you link the Dynamos and set them to the same DMX start channel and turn switch 10 on you should invert pan on one no problem.

tryed that just never worked. i had to turn the stepping motor plug around now work sweet

[Jiggles]

I read somewhere that you could damage the stepper motor do that. I’m probably wrong but anyway.
