Title: Help building ac mega tree
Post by: Eric_Edwards on February 20, 2016, 09:35:09 AM

So my mega tree is 24 super strands of r,w,g,b.  And 32 channels total. So each color is allocated 8 channels. So that makes it where. Strings 1,2,3 of red are Chanel one. Strings 4,5,6 of red are channel 2. And so on and so forth. Channel 9 will be strings 1,2,3 of white. Channel 17 strings 1,2,3 of blue. And channel 25 string a 1,2,3 of green. How would I model this in xlights. Or did I just confuse everyone lol

I made four seperste 8 channel models. So instead of model showing 24 super strands it will show 8. And in real life I'll just plug in 3 stings to the channel assigned

My now departed 64 channel AC tree (16 of Red, Green, Blue, White in that order) were wired in DMX order starting at channel 73.  So 73 was Red, 74 was Green, etc.

So I made my tree a 360 degree, 16 channel, RGBW in xLights.

Wiring in RGBW order makes it so much easier when using four 16 channel controllers.

My imported LOR sequences worked perfectly, plus I could apply normal RGB effects as if it was truly a pixel tree.
