Now Im pulling my hair out
I have had an eDMX1 (artnet to DMX translator) for quite a while and it works fine with other software. I have purchased a lot of Chauvet fixtures over the years too, and thought this software might be just want I need to fully automate the lighting (via ethernet or wireless networking). Although I have not seen it clearly indicated in the manual, it appears you can't do anything with this software unless you attach a Chauvet dongle or DMX device via USB. Is that true? I figured for all the money I spent on fixtures, I would not have to buy another one that provides no function. Artnet devices are supposed to be network attached, not computer attached. Mine has a static IP and is easily discovered by other software. Is there any way to use it without ShowXpress without a Chauvet DMX dongle/device attached via USB?
