    I’m having some issues with addressing a show. First time 🙂

     

    I’m trying to address it with two 36’ms in some single positions and one 36m in others but it only goes to 18 cues switches modules and then gives errors.

     

    I created this video to better explain: https://app.screencast.com/aioXukfMrEjDw

     

    Thanks

    So, a 36M is just 2 18M in the same physical enclosure and will ultimately be two channels each with cues 1-18.  It looks like you have overlapping channel numbers between positions ex: C1 has 1 x 36M and R1 has 2 x 36M so this is 5 channels needed for that section and there is overlap in the starting module numbers.  Change your addressing rules to the following (and the sections won’t be needed) and see if you get the desired result:

     

    1st by position name then event time in the order of assignment

    Each module is restricted to a single section (default)  and Position.

     

    Also, I see you’re in TX,  Where at?  I’m down by San Antonio

    Thanks NEC, I’m in the Austin area in the hill country.

     

    So a 36m will be C1 with Cues 1-18 and C2 with Cues 1-18? Two channels for all 36 cues basically?

    I tried this https://app.screencast.com/RZEZm2LCiwxkm and I’m getting closer but it says I need 43 18m’s and with 15 36m’s I technically only have 30 18ms available. https://app.screencast.com/xRWhkgbVGrGNj

     

     

    A follow up question as well. If I’m using 1 cue to shoot multiple effects at the same time it gives the group multiple cues, how do I have it just assign one cue to the group? See this: https://app.screencast.com/92fB24A7ZSb6c

    Change max ematches per pin from one to X, where X is the maximum number of items you want on a single cue.  Keep in mind there are limits depending on type of match , parallel or series wiring and power your using.  https://help.cobrafiringsystems.com/hc/en-us/articles/5529449985691-How-many-e-match-MJG-initiators-Talons-Clip-on-Igniters-can-I-fire-in-series-or-in-parallel
