moving light colour ranges

in theory, with a CMY colour mixing movihg light, with 3 colour wheels under 8 bit control, you have 256 x 256 x 256 colour combinations - 16,777,216.

 

whether you can tell the difference between most of those, is, of course open for debate...

I'd say 16,777,088 less than yours.

I have a Fat Frog desk and I can scroll to 255.

 

Not much help. Can you expand your OP please.

 

255 is the maximum of DMX or in fact any 8bit binary signal as its: 11111111

What most people forget is you can have: 00000000 which is 0 and still technically an option.

 

There would be 255 options isf you could go between 1 and 255.

There is 256 options in 8bit Binary signals as you can choose 0 as well as 1 - 255.

 

Hope that makes sense, with my very poor explanation skills tonight :(
