top-cat Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 If they are 360dg continuous, how to they know which direction to turn in from one position to another? IE if going from 5 oclock to 12 oclock how do they know whether to go clockwise or anticlockwise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alistermorton Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Relative co-ordinates rather than absolute? Shortest path algorithm? Absolute co-ordinate + direction channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsabre Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I haven't used those particular Ayrton units but such devices normally have 2 modes like a rotating gobo, indexed or continuous rotation. In indexed mode they'll behave like a normal moving head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinE Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 what do you need to do with the DMX in regard to the rotation? Do you need absolute position, (ie you dial in a DMX value and the arm moves to that position) or do you just need a DMX-controlled speed (ie DMX value makes the arm rotate at a particular speed)?
