Much of the, time when I'm having to trouble shoot a lighting rig, I find myself alone. This means multiple trips back and forth to front of house to control the lights. I'm getting too old to make all those trips so I've written a Windows program so I can control the lighting from my tablet. You can use the application to: Scroll through the cue list. Precisely set DMX levels for each light. Lights Up Remote acts as if it's clicking the buttons and moving the sliders in the Lights Up windows. To...

Aha Thank you very much ! The sliders are actually Submasters :) Very useful !

Add/change the addresses in the map using a format like: 15%100,500%100,501%100 The first number is the DMX address, the second number is the max percentage applied to that address when the slider is at the top.

Nice ! Thx !

This is a great app! Only I wish, to be able to control 512 channels. Maybe easily done, if you could add a start nr (1 to 464) in the Faders window. (464 + 48=512) it would be sooo nice :)

As it's (sadly) getting more common to use prerecorded audio tracks for plays I've written an audio player to automatically change scenes in Lights Up! Basic usage, program your show into Lights Up, Load your audio file into this software. Open the Edit page, play the audio file and click "Capture Time Stamp" whenever the next light cue should be activted. Time stamps can be edited by double clicking them in the cue list on the Play page. During playback, when a time stamp is reached the controller...

Thanks for the update! We used LightsUp! for over 7 years until our system outgrew it and our older compatible computers died and we went to a console. I will reload it now on our new machines since almost everyone in our company knows it so we have an emergency backup for control. Thanks again! Dan Randall Tech director, The Central New York Playhouse.

If I could make a suggestion for the next version. My assistant was having a rough time remembering to switch focus between the scene control window and the cue list window when she needed to insert new cues. Adding an "Insert" button would activate the cue list window and add the new cue with one click.

Now testing with my Win10 home computer and it is running correctly with and without the dll in the folder. Thank you for making an easy to use program. It's perfect for the small theater applications I use it for.
-
The PC I'm using it on is Win 7. As soon as I get my stuff back from the theater I'll try it on this machine.
-
I tried deleting the DLL from my program folder and found that I could no longer start the program, even if the DLL does exist in the driver installation location. I'm not sure why I'm seeing different behavior here than you. I'm running Win10 1709 Enterprise on my test machine. To be on the safe side, I got the updated version of the DLL from the current driver package and included it in the download ZIP. I'd appreciate it if someone could verify that it works with actual hardware. Thanks.
-
As soon as you said that running the program from the zip file worked correctly, I knew what you were going to say next. Very good catch there. Back when I put this package together, the DLL needed to be included separately. Now that it comes as part of the driver, it seems that the best option is to delete it from the LightsUp package. I can do that.
-
And just learned something else from the Open DMX discussions. FTD2XX.dll is outdated, delete it from the Lights Up folder. Now when the program starts it searches for and loads the new dll instead and connects to the device.
-
Just acedently discovered something weird. I have had the same problem with the program not being able to recognize the open dmx device for years. I tried on several computers with the same results on all. I just figured out that if you run the program from within the zipped folder it connects fine. So don't unzip the download, just open it like a folder and run the program. When you get the popup asking to unzip it select run instead.
-
I have not had access to hardware in a long time so I can't test and debug.

More info - when I try to connect to the Enttec I get "could not open USB DMX device. Error: -1"
-
Whoops! Wrong program. Ignore the above post. I am trying several, including Lights Up! - but it won't connect to my Enttec either. One progam, DMXControl 3, connects fine, so the Enttec functions as it should, but I prefer the simpler layout of Lights Up! Again, any ideas?

Hello - I am trying to setup a small theatre light control system for a friend. The DMX512 light control program appears to give me the control I need. DMX512 runs fine, but I cannot get it to connect to my Enttec OpenDMX USB device. I am running Win 10. In think I installed all the latest drivers - in device manager the Enttec device shows up as COM11. Under the cross fade panel on the DMX512 screen there is a text line "USB Device: connect" but I see no button. Any idea where I can go next?

Freeze tracking
-
Fixed in v1.2. Chosen solution was to prevent adding, cutting, pasting, and deleting any cues while frozen. This is the safest and easiest option. It is still possible to copy cues and edit the contents of cues while frozen.
-
Deletion of Cue
-
While fixing another issue, I discovered that this is actually acting as intended. When you insert a new cue, the focus goes to the cue's description. pressing Del there edits the text as would be expected. In order to delete the cue, you must select it in order to identify it as the thing to be deleted. Closing this issue.
-
Reproduced the problem. Trying to decide on the best solution. Options: 1) Correctly track edits while frozen. 2) Limit editing while frozen to just lighting value tweaks, no add/delete cues. While #1 sounds better, it's riskier because there are a lot of corner cases to catch. 2 is much easier to implement, but obviously more constraining. Thoughts?

What are the symptoms of the failure? does the software start? (This works for me on Win10) does the DMX Connect button find the device? (Or does it say that there are no devices available?) Are you sure that the Enttec USB driver is installed on the system? You have to install this separately. Unfortunately, I haven't had access to one of the Open USB adapters in years, so I cannot verify anything on my end.

My Enttec open USB DMX device stopped working on windows 7 about a month ago. I upgraded to windows 10 and still would not work. I then thought te device failed and ordered a new Enttec open DMX and still would not work. The Enttec USB support member them went and downloaded Lights up! software and it did not work for him as well. I think something in the windows updates has blocked something... Help I do not want to learn another program.
-
Mine stop working after 5-10 years of wonderful control for my band. I think it's a windows update that stopped it. someone needs to contact the author to get it updated
