AHH Im pulling my hair out. Im trying to do what I would think would be pretty simple but apparently Im an idiot. (no kidding huh?) Anyway, I cant seem to get my einstein to fire separately from my speedlight and then my other speedlight to fire separate from those two. Ive tried every combination of channel assignments I can think to try but for some reason, it seems the main channel (einstein) has to be active to get the other two to fire. Anyone have any pointers? Im using a cymber commander along with 2 CSRB+ receivers and the einstein receiver. Thanks!

(I cant only get the CSRB+ to fire the speedlights when they are set to channel 1. How do I differentiate the channels/groups?)

Sounds like you have the CC set to trigger "All" instead of just a specific channel...

Put each CSRB+ on a separate and the Einstein on another, same frequency. Then use the left joystick to switch it from All to Ch1 or something and you should only see one fire when you press the right joystick to test fire.
You don't need to hook up the CSRB+..you'll see the green light flicker when it test fires...

Since the channel concept is intended to permit different PCB lights to be fired and controlled independently it may be that when plugging a speedlite into the minijack all that you are getting is the fire signal. Its been awhile since I used the CSRBs. I have all Einsteins and not triggers to add Speedlites to the mix.

It is easy with the CC to forget to switch from all to group specific settings when setting up lighting schemes. :-)
