Default Vertex Illumina 260 issues.

I've got a 48" Vertex Illumina 260 fixture, hoping someone here is familiar with them!

I've been running my script for about a month now, and decided to do a firmware update on the unit and the vlink. Both of them were shown as successful updates.

I tried loading my old config file - but it wouldn't work, as it would only load one module with the config.

So, after fiddling for about an hour trying to make it work - which it should, considering the unit itself says my lights at at 5/51/50%, the app says it's at 5/51/50% - but it's not.

So, I figured out that erasing everything and starting over with it, saving it, it worked.

But then half way through the day, the light got brighter? Makes no sense. I tried doing copying from light / copy to light - start program. And only one module is loading the config file again.

I tried doing the config file again, reloading it has my config file on the one module again, and the rest are all 100% When I go to light manager, it shows what it's SUPPOSED to be, when I exit it - it's back to 100%, despite what my config file says.

When I start the program, the first module will turn on for a second, and then all of them turn on to 100%

When I go to light preview, it turns three on, then all of them on, then has 100% with module 1 off!

I'm about ready to throw this thing off my balcony.

when you did the firmware update on the light, did you do the quick or the long one? the quick one takes about 2-4 mins at best, and only does the first pod.

if you do the full one, it will get every pod and work perfectly. at least thats the issue i had with mine

I did actually fix the problem by doing exactly what you described. I did the long one, and now everything is functioning the way it should.

Thanks!
