[Resolved] OSC control to ETC Eos board

[smacks999]

OSC control of cue firing from Show Cue System (SCS)



I had trouble but finally succeeded in getting SCS "command" to fire cues on my Element. BUT. The cues trigger, yet nothing happens. The fired cue has a gold outline, but the lights themselves do not change. When pushing a go button on the board, the present cue is in a solid gold box. Not an outline. it's as if I just punched "cue 11 enter" on the console. looks like it needs one more command to actually make it "go".

I am using " /eos/cue/x/fire" as the command (worked on Q-Lab).



I have tried substituting "start" and "go" as well, but they all come to the same nothing. What am i missing? I tried MIDI show control as well, but Element just would not listen, no matter WHAT settings I used on either component. Never had this trouble before. What protocol should I be selecting from the list of types ("other")?

This is going to be used for a lighting sequence triggered by timed triggers in time with music.

Using "go" button

Okay- I finally got it to work! In frustration I added another"/fire" after the first one and BINGO. So it is now
/eos/cue/x/fire/fire

don't ax me why. thanks all.

I've emailed you details of a tracing version to run so I can check if SCS is actually sending the full message.

"smacks999' has since advised: "Turns out I was sending Ascii instead of real OSC. Using a different setup for network, and using "free format", it now works as it should".
