SOP to Moving Head

[Sator_Arts]

Hello everyone!
I’m currently trying to make a moving head follow a pattern that comes from a SOP (in this case, a circle)
What i’m not understanding is why the moving head is making an 8 figure instead of the circle i want it to “draw”, even if i give another shape like for example a triangle, it stills follows that 8 pattern which i don’t know where it comes from…
I’m probably doing something wrong, but i dont know what, and i can’t find any resource online

Here’s the project file

Hi @Sator_Arts

can you have a look here and see if this helps you?

Moving head DMX fixture

Hi @JvN, looking into this file, I could find 2 issues: there were extra transforms that confused the whole thing a bit as an initial step it’s good to calculate the final vector (target-fixture) and start your calculations from there Best to follow the explanations here: gives great step-by-step instructions on how to calculate it.

Pan and Tilt are angles while you are currently giving it positions.

cheers

Hello Markus, Thanks!
Yes, my idea was to kind of sample the position of a single point of the SOP shape and move it along the shape so that it will give out a position.
I was inspired by QLC+ which has some preset shapes and shows a point that follows it that corresponds to where the moving head is pointing on a plane
