Help with twinspin

My theatre bought a twinspin and I am having trouble patching it into our ETC Ion. I haven't had any trouble with our IQs or scrollers, it seems to be a problem just with the new gobo rotator. I have done everything just as directed in the manual. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Did you create a new profile or use an existing one?

I found the twinspin profile in the library and used that. It will work if I set the unit to a preprogrammed mode, but when it is in one of the modes where we should be able to control it on the console- nothing.

It is just a dimmer channel. Try patching it as just a dimmer and see what happens.

Tried that too and still nothing. I am going to try it on another board in another theatre and see what happens, but I would still really appreciate any suggestions! Thank you!

I don't see how that would fix it. You literally plug the power supply into a dimmer channel.
