Hello All,

Is there a way to "separate" how POS 1 and POS 2 are controlled so that one doesn't affect the other?

For instance, I want to be able to lower a panel down from 30' to 5' with channel one of DMX which would be POS 1.

I then want to be able to tilt that panel via DMX Channel 2 on the X-axis which would be POS 2.

However, if I bring Channel 1 to 100% the panel moves down as planned but when I take channel 2 to 100% the panel not only tilts on the X-axis but moves forward on the Y-axis as if both POS1 and POS2 where combined together. Can this be resolved some way?

Thanks

Hi Calvin
that works exactly as you want. I think you have Pos2 programmed both for tilt and down. Leave on it tilt transformation only. Enjoy.

On POS 1 I have:
Position:
X=0
y=0
Altitude=-35
Rotation:
x=0
y=0
z=0

On POS 2 I have:
Position:
x=0
y=0
Altitude=0
Rotation:
x=90
y=0
z=0

With these Settings I get the same result I mentioned before. Look at the pictures below to see what I mean. I want to be able to lower the panel with POS1 and tilt the panel with POS2 all within the same plane.

This is due the fact that transformation center for Pos2 was changed by Pos1. Let us think what we can do with that. Thanks!

A quick solution: exchange Pos1 and Pos2 transformations. :)
