Ok,
Let me preface by saying my Titan Mobile is the bees knees and I really love it. I imagine V7 will be even stronger and I love how this little machine is so much more powerful then my old pearl.
So, I have a Titan Mobile and have been using it exclusively for all my shows. As has been stated a wing is a much desired item and there are a few options for us. I am trying to keep my travel footprint tiny with this desk and fit the whole FOH in a pelican 1510. That said the wing that I have found is the leperchaun sidekick 10. It's pretty handy, 10 faders, 34 buttons, and a tiny footprint. I have it running via dmx trigger from the 4th dmx line of the mobile and it is a mostly useful solution to my "wing" problem. It fits in the desired case and satisfies my button/fader needs. Awesome right? Not so much, and here's why.
So this particular wing comes with custom settings for consoles.
I.E. GrandMA DMX or MIDI wing , Whole Hog DMX or MIDI wing, Universal DMX wing, Avolites Pearl, Martin Light Jockey, etc.
I have tried mapping to almost all of the settings in the internal cache of the sidekick with no results, and finally found that the GrandMA DMX 1 not only works, but gives me control over each individual button/fader on the desk with nominal error. Nominal being the key. I have what I refer to as a "Hiccup" every so often.
I.E. all lights are static, in an intimate look then BANG, outta nowhere they all jump, like starting a circle pattern. And as fast as it starts, it stops. But the damage is already done. Not so awesome.
Is there a way that I can diagnose what info the wing is sending? See if I can isolate what ever the culprit is myself? Or is this some thing that can be investigated there in London?
When I unplug dmx and or don't use the wing everything plays just fine. So I know that it is something being sent from the sidekick.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
On a side note,
I haven't tried the MIDI output, the Mobile and the Sidekick both have it. Maybe I'll try that this week.

Re: Titan Mobile dmx wing help
Here the same problem with a Showtec Showmaster 24.
Re: Titan Mobile dmx wing help
You can monitor DMX from Usb Expert (select panel then DMX tab).
Don't know if it will give you the same information as a stand-alone tester or not or what you can do to solve. I guess it depends on what DMX settings are available on the sending device. All I can suggest is try slowing the timing and/or enabling extra stop bit if possible.

Re: Titan Mobile dmx wing help
mi experiencia me ha dejado que en las wing adicionales, no se puede hacer un trigger mientras el fader sea submasters, en ese caso asignar un trigger a algun canal de dimer y despues grabar un cue o memoria utilizando el wing.
