  [fixed 2.06] Bug in V2.05 (LINK-key function)
Posted by: Angelo - 08-09-2021, 10:14 AM - Forum: Chimp Bug Reports - Replies (3)

Type desk: Chimp 300.G2

Software version: V2.05

External display: No

Connected USB-device: None

Networked devices: None

Description: Using the LINK-key causes a blackscreen and goes to startup-screen

Steps to reproduce: Press the LINK-key followed by an Executor-key or Fader-key and select the GROUP-option.

Expected behaviour: When pressing the LINK-key followed by an Executor or Fader-key should link the Group to the Fader or Executor (group-selector)

Observed Behaviour: When pressing the LINK-key followed by an Executor or Fader-key a selection is available (Cuelist / Groups),
When selecting a Cuelist it works good, when selecting the GROUP-button on the screen then the Chimp goes black and restarts in the Startup-screen and goes then back to the programmer.

Tapping on the screen for selecting the Fader or Executor instead of the LINK-key and then select the Group-option works.

  Software Release V2.0.5 (02-09-2021)
Posted by: Ron - 02-09-2021, 10:53 AM - Forum: Chimp Software Releases - Replies (1)

Important Information
 
This update contains new firmware for all PCBs,
 
For your devices (especially Dongles and Wings) to receive the firmware update, they need to be connected during the boot process of the console.
In the case of OnPC, they also need to be connected to your Chimp virtual machine during the boot process.
 
New Features
Multicell Fixtures:
MultiCell Library Editor
o            The editor is completely new. Libraries are now seperated into Modules and Instances. Instances reference Modules. Multiple Instances can use the same module. Instances can overlap and thus have a DMX Start value that needs to be set.
o            Fixtures now have more properties than before, like description, category, beam type. Many of these are in place for possible future use.
o            Proportional Ranges: Proportional Ranges are used to compose a range of values into another range of values and may contain a prefix and suffix to display such, i.e. for Strobe Frequency
o            Select Parameter Filter in Library should remember last used Attribute Group
o            Select Library Info Box:
o            Add Instance Count
o            DMX Output View is displaying fixtures and instances, whereas instances are shown in the main fixture, but separated by a line.
o            Entirely new Factory Library
•             Programmer displays Proportional Ranges
•             Output View displays Proportional Ranges
•             Patch Window has been reworked to accommodate Multicell Fixtures
o            Show Instance Count
o            Change Type and Cloning have been reworked to accommodate for Multicell Fixtures
             Change Type is now only possible with Single-Instance Fixtures
             Cloning has been updated to not copy fixtures anymore, but rather has options to select source and destination. Cloning should be preferred over Change Type.
             Added Dialogs to select fixtures visually Clone Fixture Dialog
o            Cloning / Type Replacement can now also clone MagicSheet Data
o            Cloning / Type Replacement now also clones / replaces the Programmer Content
o            Cloning / Type Replacement: Value Data (Presets, Cuelists, Programmer) will be converted between RGB <-> CMY
o            Cloning / Type Replacement: Effect Data will be converted between RGB <-> CMY
•             MultiCell Number block Addressing
o            Fixture 1 will select all instances of Fixture 1, whereas Fixture 1.1 will only select the Instance with User Number 1
o            Numberblock Subselection for Instances: Fixture .1 will select all instances with the user ID 1, either out of the current selection or all fixtures
o            Multicell Number Block - Allow to skip second main fixture number in Selections, eg Fixture 1.2 + .4
 
•             Fixture Pool and Fixture Item update for compatibility with new Multicell Fixtures
o            Fixture Items have been slightly reworked to show Main.Sub.UserID
o            If a Fixture only has Pan / Tilt but no other visualizable info, display Pan / Tilt visualization differently in Pool Item
o            Add RGB Colours for F_MINT and F_RED_ORANGE to Fixture Live Colour representation
o            Add F_COLOR_MACRO to Fixture Item Colour Representation
o            Fixtures that have no visualizable parameters, but Pan and Tilt will now display a crosshair to indicate their Pan and Tilt position
o            Fixture Items always show Dimmer Value in Dimmer Bar
•             Add many new Attributes to Function Database
o            Add Shutter 1 Ctrl, Shutter 1 Dura, Shutter 1 FX, Shutter 2 Ctrl, Shutter 2 Dura, Shutter 2 FX, Pan / Tilt Ctrl, Color 1 Ctrl, Color 2 Ctrl, Color 3 Ctrl, Colormix Ctrl, Gobo 1 Ctrl, Gobo 2 Ctrl, Gobo 3 Ctrl, Gobo 4 Ctrl, Gobo 1 Rota Ctrl, Gobo 2 Rota Ctrl, Gobo 3 Rota Ctrl, Gobo 4 Rota Ctrl, Prism 1 Ctrl, Prism 2 Ctrl, Prism 3, Prism 3 Rota, Prism 3 Ctrl, Autofocus Adjust, Animation 1 Ctrl, Animation 2, Animation 2 Rota, Animation 2 Idx, Animation 2 Ctrl, Animation 3, Animation 3 Rota, Animation 3 Idx, Animation 3 Ctrl, Shaper 1, Shaper 2, Shaper 1 Rota, Shaper 2 Rota, Frame Ctrl, Lamp, Lamp Adjust, Fog, Haze, Heat, Position Time, Focus Time, Color Time, Gobo Time, Beam Time, Optics Time, Special 9, Special 10, Special 11, Special 12, Move Z, Rota X, Rota Y, Rota Z, Mint, Red Orange and Tint to Library Functions
o            Updated Encoder Mapping for these new Parameters
o            Updated RGBX Default Values to FULL when adding them to a new Fixture Type
o            Attribute "Link" Groups have been extended so that, i.e. when red is touched, deep red is touched, too
•             Virtual Dimmer now supports fixtures with HSI and CMY
o            If a Fixture has multiple colour mixing Systems, RGBX is preferred for Virtual Dimmer over any of the others.
o            In order for the virtual dimmer to work with HSI, the fixture needs to have a I (Intensity, not Dimmer) channel assigned.
o            Virtual Dimmer now also supports all other Additive Mixing Colours
•             Factory Library can now be replaced by means of an online update, or update via USB.
o            Console should auto create "infinity/factory_library" folder when a USB Stick is plugged in

o            Infinity + Preset cycles through the (currently) available Sub-Feature Groups in Programmer of the current Attribute
o            Prev + Next will select all fixtures
o            Next and previous will cycle through “whole fixtures”
             Pressing Infinity at the same time will cycle through the instances.
•             Preset Pools Usability has been enhanced
o            Preset Pools are now addressable using the number block (PoolID.Preset), e.g., Record Preset 1.1 will record Intensity Preset 1
•             Allow users to Show Wing Fader labels on external Screen without Wing attached. (Setup -> Show Settings)
o            As soon as a Wing is attached, the Fader Labels will be shown regardless of this Setting.
•             Groups now indicate if they contain fixtures in the current selection

•             Next / Previous Button Behavioural Change
o            Previous and Next will now step through all instances of selected fixture
             Pressing Infinity at the same time will step through the individual instances
o            Previous and next in combination with Modulo will now try to Infinity the selection in full blocks, eg: Fixture 1 + 2 / 4 will select all first and second fixtures in groups of 4 in the selection, pressing next now steps to fixture 3 and 4.
             Pressing Infinity at the same time will Infinity the selection in small increments
o            Pressing next and previous at the same time will now select all fixtures in the selection set.
             Pressing Infinity at the same time will only select fixtures out of the selection set that have active values in the programmer.

o            Unplug Keyboard and Mouse.
o            Boot the Console
o            Press Infinity + Open + S1 to calibrate the internal screen, or Infinity + Open + S2 to calibrate the secondary screen.
o            After the calibration is done, you may attach keyboard and mouse again.
•             Fixture Libraries exported from pre-2.x Versions can not be imported using the Import function in the Library Window (Failed to import library file. No file signature found). Please use the following workaround:
o            Import the Fixtures into a pre 2.0 showfile’s show library (e.g., Version 1.12) – this may also be done from within an OnPC
o            Save and export the show. You may now open the Show in Software Version 2.0 and later including the fixtures. From now on, Library Exports and Imports will keep working.
•             After adding and patching multi-cell fixtures successfully for a first time, trying to repatch them after shows an incorrect number of channels needed in the `Select Address` dialog.
o            This is purely a display issue, patching the fixtures succeeds and patches the fixture correctly.
•             Adding and selecting “No Patch” for multi instance fixtures patches them to address 1.1.
•             Patch Table shows wrong channel count for multi instance fixtures.
o            This is a display issue only; the fixtures will be patched correctly and can be used as intended.

  (Chimp100, 1.12) Bug Report: OSC does not work for faders 11 to 30 (Sidewing)
Posted by: sbreutmann - 30-08-2021, 06:26 AM - Forum: Chimp 1.12 Open Beta - Replies (4)

Type of the Desk: Chimp 100G.2 TourPack

Software Version: 1.12 beta

External Display Connected, is a touchscreen?: Yes, two

Connected USB Devices: Keyboard, wireless mouinse, USB stick

Networked Devices: Connected to all site LAN

Description:
The Chimp does not accept OSC commands for faders 11 to 30.

Steps to reproduce:
Connect OSC app (Touch OSC) to Chimp and use faders for sidewing.

Expected Behavior:
It would be expected that OSC commands for faders 11 to 30 would behave exactly as faders 1 to 10.

Observed Behavior:
When sending the respective OSC command, nothing happens on the cues linked to the faders on the sidewing. In fact they are shown in the OSC reception dialogue as "Unknown"

  Chimp 100, V1.12 Bug report: "Track THRU" does not work as expected
Posted by: Edi_28 - 25-08-2021, 05:13 PM - Forum: Chimp 1.12 Open Beta - Replies (3)

I have 4 moving heads patched and programmed the following positioning cues into one cuelist:
Cue 1: MH 1 -> right pos
Cue 2: MH 2 -> right pos
Cue 3: MH 3 -> right pos
Cue 4: MH 4 -> right pos
Cue 5: MH 1 -> left pos
Cue 6: MH 2 -> left pos
Cue 7: MH 3 -> left pos
Cue 8: MH 4 -> left pos

Tracking is set to "Enabled + Track THRU" and the cueslist is set to "Loop At End"
When the cue starts, all moving heads point straight (defaul position) except MH 1 which moves to the right position. The subsequent cues work as expected and since tracking is enabled, each MH stays in his last position. With normal tracking I would expect, that all moving heads, except MH 1 which is programmed in the first cue, return to the default (straight) position when the loop jumps from cue 8 to cue 1 and that works. But with "Track THRU" I would expect that MH 2 - MH 4 remain on their last position when cue 1 sets position of MH 1 to the right position again.

This does not work. TRACK THRU behaves exactly like normal Tracking. When cue 1 is called, MH 2 - MH 4 return to their default position and only MH 1 is set to the right position.

  Console Password
Posted by: LeonTheo02 - 11-08-2021, 04:33 PM - Forum: LAMPY Feature Requests - Replies (3)

It would be really good to have an option to lock a show (or the entire console) with a password (or the set pin) so that it cannot even be opened without it. That way the Lampy can stay in a Semi-Public Area without having to be scared that someone unauthorized uses it at all (so that when they turn it on they need to enter the pin or password).

  External Monitor View Switch
Posted by: LeonTheo02 - 11-08-2021, 12:03 AM - Forum: LAMPY Feature Requests - Replies (3)

We recently got the Lampy 20 2U and really like the idea of being able to connect an external monitor. We often use that one more than the inbuilt touchscreen as it is way easier to see and manage (especially with mouse and keyboard connected).

What now often happens is that I am on the fixture view and wanna create an effect, but I can only do that on the inbuilt touchscreen not on my big screen which is way easier to see. Maybe just add a button where I can switch around the screens so that the internal one displays what the external one would and vice versa. (Or like it is on startup, that I can just let the internal screen mirror the external one)

  [FIXED] (Chimp300.G2, V1.12 Beta) Bug Report: Crash on Deactivate
Posted by: osto - 09-08-2021, 02:39 PM - Forum: Chimp Bug Reports - Replies (2)

Type of the Desk: Chimp300.G2

Software Version: V1.12 Beta

External Display Connected, is a touchscreen?: Neither

Connected USB Devices: None

Networked Devices: None

Description:

Upon using the "Deactivate" function in the "Set Value"-window of the programmer for any attribute the desk crashes with the following error description:
"Error! Lost connection to Server! It might have crashed! Shall we reboot?"
If pressing close the "Manage Shows"-window opens but none of the internal shows are visible.
If pressing reboot the console swiftly reboots but immediately shows a similar error description:
"Error! Could not connect to Server!"
After closing the error the console again enters the "Manage Shows"-window where no shows are visible.

If using the "Shutdown"-option the console shuts down for around 2 seconds and then reboots immediately.

If choosing to create a new show it is possible to enter a name for said show but after confirming nothing further happens.

The only way to exit this loop is to disconnect and reconnect the mains power supply.

Steps to reproduce:

Select a patched fixture, select an attribute and open the popup window via pushing the corresponding encoder, select "Deactivate" on the bottom line of options.

Expected Behavior:

I would have expected the button to remove the attribute from the programmer.

Observed Behavior:

previously described behaviour

Showfile:

No specific showfile attached as a completely blank show was used.

  Chimp 100, V1.12 Bug report: Magic sheet only switches cuelist ON/OFF
Posted by: Edi_28 - 03-08-2021, 11:57 AM - Forum: Chimp 1.12 Open Beta - Replies (4)

When you add a cuelist to the magic sheet, which has more than one cue, you have no possibility to proceed to the next cue. You can only turn on or off the cuelist.
There should also be an option to switch between the modes (Toggle ON/OFF, GO, etc.)
