Hello Bri,
Here we go, the dmx skull has a power wire the black one comming out from him, then two other ribbon wires, where do these plug in, then I set up the camera with usb all set, but there is another hole in the camera, does this get plugged into anything, I connected the auto talk board to the duel plug that will also have my speakers plugged into it, please help me man..thanks kev
There should now be 4 wires from the Skull Power DMX in, DMX out and AutoTalk
sounds like you connected the autotalk correctly... but if you have not connected the skull to the DMX chain then nothing will work.
The DMX in/out wires should connect to the cables in the DMX chain as per normal.
Ignore the jack socket on the camera, these cameras are designed for professional motion capture, and that socket is for a sync cable, which makes it possible to connect up to 24 cameras together and capture motion.
'Camera's for hat'???? there only ever has been the one camera, there should be a frame of tracking markers for the hat. _________________ Bryan Davis

Bri,
First I want to thank you for being so quick on your remarks, one more stupid question if you will, there is another plug of some sore on the camera, does that go onto anything, I have it plugged into the pc that's it. Bri, something else, does this software also allow you to create your own dmx show for your personal routine, and do you need dmx to be hooked up to just play around with the skull, lastly, as far as motion, I don't want to hurt the servo's are they programmed to only turn and twist so much to protect them...
Thanks bro
The only thing you connect the camera too is the USB port, ignore the jack connector that is only for multi camera systems.
YES you can record with the software, make sure the 'Record Sound' and 'Record Motion' check boxes are checked. When you disconnect you can then playback your last actions immediately or Export the recorded sound and motion as a VSA file for later playback or editing in VSA.
You don't need the DMX lights to play about with the skull, but you do need to connect the skull to the Enttec box, and you do need to connect the Enttec box to the computer.
YOUR SERVOS ARE ABSOLUTELY SAFE, the system has two layers of servo protection built into it, the first layer is in the software where the limits are programmed, these settings are in the Axis Table, and the second layer is programmed onto the servo board inside the skull.... I spent 4 days at Transworld deliberately demonstrating that the systems was virtually indestructible
Also not that when the software cant see the required number of tracking markers it will power the servos down, this means that if the performer goes away and leaves the system running then the servos will shut down.
