Adding Fixtures
You need to add some fixtures to your project before anything will happen. Head over to
the fixtures screen by tapping the menu button and then ‘Fixtures’. To add a fixture:
1. Tap the ‘Brand’ button at the bottom of the screen and select the brand.
2. Select a device. Notice each device has a colored dot to the right:
a. Red means the device must be downloaded from the cloud. An internet
connection is required for this!
b. Green means you have the device on your tablet already.
c. Yellow means you have the device on your tablet, however an updated
version is available on the cloud.
3. Select a ‘Mode’. Some fixtures have different operation modes which take up
different amounts of channels. Be sure you have the same mode selected on your
fixture. You’ll need to check your fixtures manual for this as each fixture is different.
4. Tap ‘Add A Fixture’.
Addressing your Fixtures
Each DMX fixture is assigned a unique number so that mydmx GO knows which fixture to
send the correct information to. To address a fixture:
1. Tap the fixture in the list and look at the Start address number
2. Use the digital display on the actual fixture to set the same number. Refer to the
fixture manufacturers manual on how to do this. Some fixtures use DIP switches
instead of a digital display. The correct DIP switches are shown on the right.
3. If you have already set up your fixture and it’s not practical to change the DMX
address, this can be changed by tapping the Start Address number. Note that the
end address is fixed because the number of channels a fixture uses is fixed.
Changing the order of fixtures
All effects are applied in the order the fixtures appear in the list. For example, if you have
the mydmx GO color effect chasing between fixtures, it will start at fixture 1 and end at the
last fixture in the list. To change the order of fixtures, tap and hold a fixture and drag it to a
different position in the list. Don’t worry - this will not affect the DMX address of the fixture!
