	The Obey 40 DMX controller assigns 16 channels per light fixture (You can control mulitple lights as the same fixture, but make sure they are the same light fixture). The lights are setup so that each light is at the beginning of the DMX address range for a each fixture. For example Fixture 1 starts at address "1" and the controller reserves channels 1-16 to talk to it, and any fixtures on "Fixture 1".

			This video explains how the DMX controller and the light interact and uses the Obey 40 as the controller. Do not use the instructions here for how to playback lighting scenes using the chase function on the controller, the directions skip some steps.

			Rando donated a Obey 40 DMX controller. If you plug this directly into the DMX cable going up to the lights, you can control them with it! However, I recommend familiarizing yourself with the controller using some youtube videos and using the manual for the RGB par lights to understand how they interpret the DMX information that the controller sends to them.
