  1. I had something similar where it was the first hop from the controller so I installed an external antenna and it improved the situation greatly, also if you are using pucks then you should look at unwrapping the antenna's from the body of the puck modules as this can improve the signal received slightly. The other possibility is that you have a corrupt project file that might be interfering with your programming. Usually in this case it's best to delete the programming and start again as a last report.
  2. Depending on the complexity of your pixel animations, you need a controller to perform the shows, if it is just generic rainbow effects there are more options. I'd be very surprised if each of those pixels would be individually addressable. usually the pixels would be in small groups. Do you have the link to the tape you were looking at?
  3. This is could quite likely be a minimum load issue, for the dimmer, have you tried using a dummy load connected across the ELV dimmer input terminals? As when the load is reduced the triac can't always time the switching correctly, so this would make sense with what you are describing.
  4. No worries thanks guys I completely got all that but just was interested in the reason why it worked in that way, I always think its better to know the nuts and bolts so you can be proactive rather than reactive, its something I apply to all My work, that way you avoid more issues down the line. Anyway thanks for your help.
  5. Yeah I get that completely, but what I was getting at was that when copied surely it wouldn't copy the device ID because then every other device trigger you pasted that into would have the incorrect device ID and wouldn't work so would then be pointless, I think this is the part that just doesn't make sense to me.
  6. Thanks for that, do you know the reason why you can within the project but you cant across two separate projects, wouldn't it be the same process?
  7. Does it actually copy the ID's though along with the Programming? As you can copy and paste selected programming within composer between devices and agents, I'm thinking if it would copy the ID's then wouldn't this defeat the object of being able to copy and paste altogether as it would not bind correctly to the destination device trigger?
  8. Thank you to you both, that makes complete sense, and clears up my thought process, I think in this instance its going to make sense to start from scratch and build it up again then copy in the programming from the virtual director that way it should be re-assigned to the device/agent that it is supposed to be attached to.
  9. Just a side note: So just for clarity do you know what the definition of an unknown event is? Does it mean that the programming has no link with a known device driver or agent? If so that's confusing because a lot of the programming is working normally?
  10. Ok thanks guys, so could this happen for example if I've got programming against a agent (custom variable or timer) and a device driver, then remove the driver and re-add it back in, should I be re-programming all of these aspects every time I have to do this? Maybe I should create more blocks of programming as macros as these could be reused much easier but I guess that would still potentially throw up the same issues. And yes these drivers do exist in the project, I might strip the Texecom driver out and try re-adding with fresh programming, bit of pain but I guess if it has to be done its has to be done.
  11. Hi Guys, I have a project at the moment that I'm getting some "Unknown Event"'s showing in detective suite, is this generally a case of project corruption or is there instances or when specific conditions are met that this can occur as a matter of course and quite normal thing to happen, if so what would be an example of both cases? In the project I'm having some unusual behaviour where programming is not fully executing, ie the lights may not turn on but the LED (Programmed from the same action) is changing and showing an on status, but the light wont turn on unless some unrelated button is pressed. -- I have gone through the programming with support so i know the actual programming is correct as we even took it out and rewrote part of it as an experiment but still got to the same issue. I am just wondering whether I should be looking to re-build a project from scratch (earliest back up with out these events is pretty far back) , or to leave them as they are if they are not indicating a specific problem or just take out the related programming and rebuild that aspect and whether just doing that would resolve the issues. Also if that was the case and I rebuilt the project whether running two instances of composer and copying and pasting the programming from a virtual to a live project would potentially remove these "Unknown Event" occurrences or would it be part of the xml that would be copied back across?. I'm just trying to decide which is the best way to move forwards with it as re-programming would take quite some time as there is quite a bit of programming in the project, and so would only really want to do this if its necessary. Thanks Gabi
