Thanks to the Sydney Mini lucky door prize going to a member I help to prepare parts of their show, I've won the lucky prize of getting these things configured and mapped in xLights. So far, I've managed to set them up in a layout, configured them as best I can from all of the resources I've found, but I am still having a few issues.
I will share my config below, however, the issue I am having relates to appearance in the layout view (see photo) where the beam appears facing forward, but the head actually shows an illustration of pointing up.
Second, I am unable to find a configuration that allows me to tilt below the horizontal - example: config A allows me to tilt down whilst config B allows me to tilt up, neither will work past the horizontal.
I was advised the moving heads are the same as Wallys Lights mini movers, and that is the model I imported and started with - I've then used the vendors manual to configure channels where they didn't align, as there were a few discrepancies. 380W-Mini-WL-M380BWM
Pan Motor
I have played around with numerous configurations, made adjustments to min/max and Orient Zero, Orient Home, but just can't get the right setup. I think I have pan working, it's tilt that is my trouble - but if I am wrong, appreciate any guidance on this.
If more detail is required, let me know and I will provide.
This weekend I do intend to grab one of the units and run it for real, instead of virtually, so hope to have the config resolved by then.
