HElppp with dmx on f16v3

so i got 3 of the moving heads working but the other one which is a cobra head 150 dosent want to follow its instructions i set the channels correctly but it just moves back and fourth in same pattern and then says LED_GOBO randomly and stops dmx
 
That sounds like real progress...
The first thing to check is the menu screen ... any chance you have to set a mode on the control panel of the Cobra to get it to listen to DMX, instead of some auto program? Other than that, it could be losing the DMX signal, check for bad cable, no terminator, wrong number of channels sent, something like that, maybe move it around in the DMX chain.

In theory you should have one of these at the end of the DMX chain, in the "DMX Out". Now, most of the time when you do not have one, nothing bad happens, but when something bad does happen it follows the symptoms you describe (order on the chain matters, random data behavior), so I'd try a terminator before giving up.
