Pre programming in Webinterface and use it in the Kiosc App - How?

[eventtechnik12]

Hello
I've got the Kiosc App (IOS) and the CueCore2 to control some lights. After reading the instructions of the app and the CueCore2 I don't really know how the system works yet. 

Currently I've gotten to the point where one button turns the lamp on and another turns it off. But this is not what I would like to do in the future.

I would like to have following Setup for the future:
- Astera AX9 (later different types of lamps, the AX9 is only to understand how it works)
- DMX Profil 12 (DIM RGBWS; 6 CH)
- CH1 = Dimmer; CH2 = RED; CH3 = Green; CH4 = Blue; CH5 = White; CH6 = Strobe
- in the Kiosc App I would like to have a Fader (Dimmer 0 - 100%) and a Colourpicker to change the Colors (maybe also ONE button for on/off)

What did I have to programm in the Tracks? Track 1 Dimmer? Track 2 RGBWS or only Red (and then Track 3 = green, ...)?
Later I have 6 different groups (different types of lamps). Can i use the same Tracks (because I have only 64 Tracks) or did I have to make for every type of lamp new Tracks?
What I have to do in the show control?
Which commands did I have to use in the Kiosc Editor for each type of button/fader/Colourpicker?

I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment and I haven't found any real examples or tutorial videos. Hope someone can help me to understand the system or have some example programs.

Thx

Happy to read that you are starting using our products.
What you are trying to do is not really complicated for the products you have but for sure you need some bases to know how to do it, and I will try to give you those bases!

First the KIOSC app is only a user interface.
You will create the control elements you want, buttons faders etc and those elements will send network messages when their status change,
The network messages can be OSC, UDP or TCP. For first project it is easier to use OSC.

The CueCore2 is mainly a DMX recorder.
The typical use of it, would be to record from an external DMX controller a DMX  status or show in a track. 'so a track can be just one frame or a show which duration is in minutes.
The tracks will be used in one of the 8 playbacks, where you can change the order, the conditions to go from one cue to the other and the fade time.

This is when the show control will be useful, you will use it to say to the CueCore when you want to start your playback (it can do many other things but let's focus on the playback).
We said that we will set the Kiosc app to send OSC messages to the Cuecore, this is why we will pick the OSC source and create an OSC action list.
In this OSC actionlist we will create actions. Each action will have a different trigger, that will be a different OSC message.
Once the action created you, you edit it, on the left you set the details of the trigger ( the osc message) and then you will add a task ( this is what we want the CueCore to do).
As we want it to control a playback,, select "playback" in the list of tasks.
You can now change the feature and function to control the playback the way you want: jump to a specific cue, using jump/set or make a go+ using transport/go+
Just set the parameters 1 and 2 depending on what you want.

This is the most typical use of the combo Kiosc and CueCore2.

For your request this will be a bit different, we will use teh kiosc with osc as described above but we will not use the CueCore2's tracks.

Your KIOSC fader will send an OSC message with a float value between 0.0 and 1.0, so we need to say to the CueCore that this value will control the DMX channels corresponding to the dimmers of the fixtures,
SO in the show control, we will still use the OSC actionlist, but this time we do not want to control a playback but directly DMX channels, this is why we will select DMX in teh task list and not playback.
In Feature select "block I", in function, "control" and the for parameter 1 and 2 set the first DMX address controlling the intensity, how many channels are there between each intensity parameter and how many fixtures you have.
Now when you will move the fader in KIOSC it will control all the intensity channels of the fixture.

For the Color it is the same, create a second action as it will be a different trigger message, and in the DMX task, select "Block RGBW" ,

I hope this will help you, I join to this post some screenshot showing the kind of programming you should do.
