I have noticed that at the end of the seance routine the skulls eyes stay on. Very dim. but they are not off. I unplugged the skull and you can notice the eyes turn off completly.

I have not noticed this on the host routine or the features demo. but I will double check them tommorrow.

go into your VSA routine and scroll down to channel 20 (DMX eyes strobe) and look at the last bar on that line.

If you double click on this bar it will open, and you will see that the end position is set to 128, change this to 127 and try it again

OK, 128 is the correct setting then, when you go lower you start to enter the strobe settings for the light

I wonder if this is a peculiarity of the circuit board.

At the end of the routine the board reduces the eye brightness to 128, however, it leaves the colour at 255

to truly turn the eyes OFF you need to reduce all 4 eye channels to 0

Note that for the brightness channel 1-127 is strobe controls whilst 128-255 is brightness, its for this reason that the eye brightness is faded down to 128... after its been faded down to 128 then it may be worth instantly reducing it to 0, and do the same for the 3 colour channels
