You are totally right, rather music mode than total blackout. Well not the way my dimmers are setup.

I use two stairville dimmer bars with 4 par 64 each, and when then don't get a DMX signal they just turn off, the same does the 4 channel botex dimmer I use for 4 par 64 floorspots. But it is not that big a problem, it is not very common for my Enttec to lock up, i maybe happens once every 5 event I take it to. But I would still like to see if the fix for the Enttec dongle with the two capacitors maybe make the dongle even more stable.

Rewrite psp iso. I had this problem on my first public show, Valentine's Day. The DMX USB communication would stop about every 5 minutes.

Fortunately, half of my fixtures have a 'feature' that if they don't hear DMX, they go into sound active mode. So at least those scanners did their 'spaz and flail' while I reseated the USB and restarted Freestyler. Between that and the other fixtures merely freezing their movement but staying lit, the audience really didn't realize the computer failures. I was so busy before my BIG show this last weekend (and also my birthday party) that I did not have time to go buy the 47pF capacitors to make this mod. I did find in my collection some 100pF caps. Having a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, I knew that doubling the value of the capacitors would probably be close enough in this filtering application, and if it didn't work, then two 100pF capacitors in series would.

So I soldered in the 100pF caps and voila, no hangs the entire night! For the record, this mod works per my experience using 100pF capacitors. I will take a picture to post, since it was a bit difficult identifying where to solder them on, and also because somebody else requested it.

I have the same problem, just with some other random DMX adapter. It is not necessary to have photos, learn a bit about electronics, you will soon be able to identify what is what in the interface and do what has been mentioned. Introduction to discrete mathematics pdf. Yes it would be nice to have a picture to show you, but that would be only for that interface, what if they have changed the interface and the things are not quite in the same place as in the picture, you might end up removing the wrong component, or what if they use a different manufactures component that looks different. Whoops there goes my interface.

You should always work from a circuit diagram, that is why they are done.
