I finally got things semi working with falcon picap's DMX output. I can control channel 1,2,3,4,15 from your model (all fog/bubble functions). However, I can not get anything going for the lights. I have tried a ton of variations of dimmer on/partial on/off in conjunction with solid color, bars, etc. Any thoughts/suggestions? The lights do work using the onboard display and included remote.
I have a Boreas C6 snow machine. Do you have a custom model for that machine? I cannot get the blower to come on by itself or control the way I would like in Xlights.
Hey David, Great video but I have a couple questions. If I am running a CHAUVET DJ Hurricane Bubble Haze Machine via dmx, do I just get a DMX cable and cut off the end that is not in the machine and then put a 3 pin xconnect plug on it and then attach to the DMX port on my controller? Also do you happen to have the model for the DJ Hurricane bubble hazer?
I would not use a x-connect plug for DMX - I would cut off the DMX cable and connect that directly to your terminal block on the controller for DMX (NOT a pixel output!). If you convert to an x-connect and plug it into a pixel port by accident, you will likely fry the DMX board in the bubbler. We don't have a model for the bubble haze made, maybe we will get one added later :)
At the worst, or max output, you can go through 2 gallons of bubbles and one gallon of fog per hour. Most people use this on a timer or DMX to conserve fluid, as it can really consume it. That being said, for a holiday show you typically don't run it at full or all the time
So cool. I'll definitely be adding this to a show some day. Thanks for sharing.

I got it figured out. Somehow the model was set for 16 channels.

@@LearnChristmasLighting Thank you for your reply. Have a great day.
How many minutes of fobbles will a full tank produce? If I built an little enclosure could the fobble maker stay outside in the southeast for 60 days?

Cool can you set it and forget it?
Yes, But that would not be recommended as it will be Fobbles Galore!
