It has max 20kpps galvo's, 25 degree angle, 1900 patterns, 34 chns DMX, and the total of 500mw lasers is bright enough for a small party. There are stronger versions for a bit more €€€ too.

Nice video. Have a question(how would you hook up your laser, like in the video, and then with the rest of your lights?)

Great, geek video. Lot of things yet not cheap to operate from an iPhone app yet. I just got one of this laser from ebay, is there way to make it sound sensor work without having the DMX controller? or what are the things I can do without DMX on that laser light? Thank you.

i was just wondering i want to put some laser lights on my patio for some parties my question is do i need a control to do all the different lights or will it just work from the sound of the music and cycle through different light effects thanks

+LearnLizard Thanks for a short tutorial. Question for you - I just got 2 Laserworld ESRGB400 qs units that I want to use in about a month. They have patterns & such but I really just want to use the beam modes similar to the way dance music clubs currently incorporate lasers. Would you suggest a DMX for that or is there something else I should be using? Thanks in advance!

nice video. does this controller work with the SUNY TDM-RGY250 laser? I just got one and want to get a controller since the laser has a DMX512 input port. Thanks.

You're videos are good keep it coming please. I have a question, can every previous programmed Scene or chase be cancelled or deleted? if yes then how?

Sir ...does have any Difference between sharpy and led par light addressing...?

Thanx for this and other vidéo. Is there a list with the patterns for these kind of laser?

Great video! Do you know is there a way to control these lasers via a PC? I've been out of the laser game for a long time, so sorry for the question if it's dumb:) I would love to control from a PC through some kind of DMX convertor or something? I used to have one of the original Pangolin setups, but that was probably 15 years ago. I could just hook up through ILDA, but seems the cheaper lasers don't have that interface. Thanks for any help!

Hi Steve. THANKS for the controller help!! Wondering if you could help me some more with this: I do stage plays. I want to create a lighting program that changes for each acting scene. Each acting scene lasts from 4 to 10 minutes each. I want the lights to change according to the length of each acting scene. Can I do this with the OBEY 40? Or is there another controller for this type of feature? THANKS. Looking forward...

I’ve just bought that laser! And I’m looking to use wireless DMX with the controller

Can I hook it up to a PC and set it on auto? I don’t want to DJ the thing. Help😂?

Hi- Most lasers like this will work without a DMX controller. Typically you would go into the menu controls and sect "auto function" where they will cycle through their patterns. Many will also have a "sound" mode that will advance the patterns in sync to any music with a strong beat. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

Steve, is it possible to program an intimidator 255 spot with a obey 70? i'm in a band and would like to have the lights pan across our stage without shining into the crowd?. maybe some simple patterns instead of just being still? i can't seem to get auto mode to stay on the stage like i'd like to? i have DMX control in 13 channel mode but i am the bass player so i'm kind of busy and we can't find a light man to do the job. love all your videos by the way.

+rotorhead58d Hi- You can control most functions of the Intimidator 255 with DMX values (including the pan and tilt) so you can definitely program an Obey 70 to control it. Make sure the starting address on the 255 is set the same as the Obey 70. Channels 1 and 2 control the pan and fine pan and 3 and 4 control the tilt and fine tilt. Hopefully that helps. Thanks for watching and good luck!

Is it compatible with Laserworld lasers?

Wondering if anyone knows how to control these lasers individually? As in switch between the green and red lasers instead of using all lasers simultaneously. Trying to get my my lasers to match my lights instead of having a all four lasers on at all times.

I have a 32 channel laser, that I would like control with a 512 DMX Controller that has automatically assigned scanners, every 16 channels. Am I correct that if I set the laser address to 1, I can utilize all 32 channels by jumping between scanner 1 and 2?

@LearnLizard

5 ай бұрын

Yes, I believe that should work (although I've never tried it) It will make it very confusing programming scenes and chases (at least for a brain like mine haha) but it sounds like a good work around.

You've probably answered this already, once you have programmed your lighting for the show you want, does it store in a memory so the next time you set it up you just switch it on and your good to go, or do you need to reprogramme from scratch again? Thanks in advance.

I am having an issue with Chauvet Obey 70 with my laser, watching your video is great by the way, but it's not working for me. I have an xlaser x4c-mk2. I set the dip switch like you said to 1. It works with all the different patterns and so on. But the other channels 2, 3, 4, etc do nothing. What do you think is the problem. I adjust channel one to a different number setting like you show but it keeps going through all the sequences and doesn't stop. There is no control over this.

Congrats on the X4C, wish I had one! It should have 11 DMX channels controllable by the Obey 70. That machine can control up to a 32 channel fixture, so the starting address of the 2nd fixture should be 33. Have you tried setting the DIP switch on the laser to 33 and seeing if it works on fixture 2? Wish I could be more help.

I bought these cheap lasers for news years eve and just want the music to automatically synchronize them. They can through the air but not very effectively. I have a DMX with MIDI input and will be playing music through a computer to the receiver to speakers. Is there a way to send the music to the DMX and then to the lasers so they will be able to react better to the music in auto-schronization?

@LearnLizard

Жыл бұрын

In order to do that you would put the lasers in DMX mode and use a "sound active" function on your DMX controller. (the Obey 40 and many other controllers have this feature although the results may not meet your expectations) The best way is to use a software controller that can trigger scenes with audio or MIDI (which is a common feature) Appreciate you watching!
