Please help with Matrix Patcher + GrandMa3 for RGB-Fixtures.

Hi,

first time I am looking into the Matrix Patcher.
I am trying to map a matrix/video onto RGB-Lamps in GrandMa3 (not LED-Panels, just a variety of fixtures).

I am with Pandora V8 and "GrandMa3 on PC" on the same local PC.

Can someone give me a quick walk throug how to do it? Can't get it to work.

That is what I did:
- in GrandMa3 first light I want to apply it to is patched to DMX 4.256

- in Matrix Patcher created a fixture 1x1 with an offset of 6 (The Lamps in question have 6 DMX Channels: R-G-B-ColorTemp-Dim-ColorMix).
-> DMX Start 256
-> ArtNet Subnet 0
-> DMX Universe 4
Made a Matrix 10x10 and put the Fixture into the first slot (0,0)

In Pandora put the Matrix on the Local Output and a white image onto a Layer. Turned on Artnet-Out.

In GrandMa3 on PC went to DMX-Protocoll, Interface to the local IP, Enabled Input, Enabled Art-Net-Data 1, Put Local Universe to 4 and Universe to 4.

Nothing happens :shock:

OK,

I have never tried it all on the same PC.
What IP Adress did you give your Fixtures in the Matrix Patcher?
IF you are trying to run it on the Local hast you might need to put 127.0.0.1 into it.

Check if you see Artnet Data. Wireshark will help you.

After that go from there.
