Is anyone aware of any multicores which can feed power, XLR outputs and DMX for lights?
is a single xlr and powercon classed as a multi?
or do as we've done for years,tape the various cables together.

if your Strand desk is feeding old Strand dimmers they probably work on 0v to -10v, rather than 0v to +10v, in which case you probably need to look for something 2nd-hand.
No need for second hand the showtec multi exchanger will take in dmx and spit out + 10 or - 10v . If however the stand dimmers are expecting D54,well good luck, Dmx to D54 convertors are nearly as common as rocking horse manure.

But not sure what that fuse is actually protecting and so where to look for the fault
just a wild guess from looking at the front panel id say its for the 24v DC input

Quoteis a real pain.
putting up with the pain once to put wired dmx cables in is surely better than the pain of trouble shooting temperamental wireless networks every time the planets are at the wrong angle.

a rotary encoder is a rotary encoder, about the olny thing different between makes apart from the physical size is the number of pulses per rotation and whether its dented or not.There not much more than a fancy spdt switch.

1-3: party line comms 1 & 2 signal etc, 3 ground
4-5: AD903 input:
problem with that is your splitting different things across different pairs which may lead to future issues.I'd go with the original but double pin 4 as an earth with 3,or depending on the signal type 1 and 3 as the party signal with 2 and 4 as party earths

Tinkercad, online designer, more powerful than it first appears,
Indeed a good starting point ,I'd also recommend on-shape.I found it fairly painless to use,certainly much simpler than the mind bending freecad.

If (having installed the software) you right click on the exe file and select "Properties" then the "compatibility" tab you can select to run it as XP or "run compatibility troubleshooter". This may or may not help depending on what the problem is.
As well as xp compatibility mode you may need to run it as admin.its somewhere in the same right click menu.

the stand has the spigot on it, I need the hollow bit (receiver?) to go on the light.
even easier to find ,10mm female to 8mm male,try your local indy motorcycle dealer and ask for a mirror adaptor

8mm (or less) hole, and not enough metal to stand drilling it out to 10mm.
10mm male to 8mm or 6mm female thread adaptor?
