K8062 - fixture compatibility

Hello,

I have buyed a strobo from lightmaxx (musicstore.de). It is configured @ start address 1. When I use the usb DMX interface K8082 it does not work. The strobo is using 2 channels. 1 for dimmer and 1 for flash. It work fine on a CMX24 (jbsystems).

the K8062 is working fine for all other effect (dimpack from lightmaxx, RGB par 56 from lightmax, JBsystems jaguar.)

I used both demo software and freestyler software. But with same result.
software is configured for 512 channel.

What is realy strange is that the strobo seems to be placed on another channel.
for instance when configured on channel 1 I can activate the strobo on channel 2 but then both dimmer and flash are working on same channel.

also for example when trying to put the strobo on a higher channel like for instance 31 than I can only activate the strobo on channel 37

I also tried with a DMX terminator (resistor of 120Ohm on pin 2 & 3). This does not solve the problem. (same result)

Can somebody help me on this?

thx

There may be some compatibility issue.
Please check the last post of this thread:

The firmware update may help - if you haven’t it.

thx for the feedback.

Could I get a copy of the firmware somewhere?
Is there a default flash procedure?

thx

It is not possible to reprogram the microcontroller PIC16C745.

[quote]V1 and V2 comes with a PIC16C745, 6MHZ XTAL and R9
V3 comes with a PIC18F2550 controller, 4MHZ XTAL and does not need R9.[/quote]
Firmware upgrade means you have to get a new microcontroller + new crystal.
