Bluefish mini controller on OR-T247

spartanman22 · Nov 10, 2016

I came across the thread in Ocean Revives sponsor section describing how to hookup an Ocean Revive fixture to a bluefish mini controller. It seems pretty simple and straightforward, but my question is could I connect three OR's to a single bluefish mini?

The guy who demonstrated it said it should work, but was wondering if anyone's actually done it. Would I just connect the bluefish mini to fixture number one and then jump fixtures 2 and 3 into the same spots that the bluefish mini is hooked up onto fixture 1? I'm sorry if that questions is silly or makes no sense. I'm electrically challenged!

This is diagram I'm going off of. So could I just splice into the same spots on fixture 2 and 3 and run them into fixture 1 and connect them all together?

I saw this too. The bluefish sends the 3.3v PWM signal to the lights. There isn't any reason you couldn't control a large amount of lights with the bluefish. You could mount the bluefish in its own case and power it with its own power source, then use cat 5 or whatever wire you choose to go to each fixture. I think what would be needed would be three wires to each fixture. Ground, PWM white channel, PWM blue channel. I think the bluefish mini has 6 channels, so if you wanted, you could use groups of two channels to three different "sets" of lights and possibly have independent control of three different sets of lights. I emailed bluefish today as I would like to see what the app is capable of as far as setting different timers for different channel groups. I have the app, but without first connecting to the module it will not let you play in it. They told me you must have the module to connect to be able to enter any portion of the app. I know the thread is old, but saw it didn't have a reply.
