Post by: jap813 on February 08, 2010,

Can you give a little more detail like did you set up a profile in vixen if so did you set up plugin when you selected adjustable preview was the channels count correct and baurd rate and did it work before I just had same problem after i installed dongle hardware . I had a flash chip in com1 witch is what my vixen was useing as soon as I unplug all was good I don't know if this helps just throwing idea at you

no profile set up but I did select the channel count, and I do not have a dongle hooked up yet. It has not worked for me yet so no it never has worked

You have to set a profile first you might want to go to the wiki and watch vixen setup in the how to this is what i did every time he did something I would pause i do what he did just a thought

Start a new seq with just a few channels maybe 16

no profile is needed

save a new seq

click on attach plugins and only select adjustable preview use button

click plugin setup

in the preview window just draw some straight lines for each channel (ie: the second row of toolbars is a blank box with a drop down - select channel one)
you can select color for each but not needed at this stage.

click ok and then click done

back to the seq screen just add some random on/off ramps  and then hit the f5 key


you should see some "lights" turn on or off or some level of dimming

click f8 to stop

Hope that helps
