Title: Extra 12 channels
Post by: sulrich on November 21, 2017, 06:00:55 AM
(xLights 2017.37)

Good Morning Folks, Last night i was updating my controllers and channels and see a discrepancy between the "Export Models" csv file and what the setup tab reflects.. I have don this before but never seen this... Why do i think its an issue, i have 3 consecutive models, all identical. first model starts on the right channel and ends on the right channel. Number 2 starts on the right channel, but ends with an extra 12 channels. model 1 has 9 universes,One to Eight at 512, and entry nine at 62. model 2 setup identical, 8@512, and 1@62..but it ends with an extra 12 channels.

Completely baffled to where these extra channels come from?????

Just pick one model that's wrong and show screenshots of everything involved with its channel setup in both xLights and the controller.

so if you look there are 3 identical models, MidTree1,2,3, each has 2 candy canes, quantity of channels are the same, side by side, but the setup page reflects midtree2, star, and 2 candy canes starts correct, but ends 12 channels to many any insight is appreciated

Check your start channel assignment for lg_candycane_03.  It's showing as 31840 when it should be 31852.

Gill,
Thank you, a second set of eyes sees everything!
I stared at those numbers and had check for overlapping but didnt see it.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks again,
Steve

So I take it when you checked for overlapping you didn't use our built-in feature Tools -> Check Sequence.  Now there are times when overlaps are on purpose so its only a warning.

I could have swore that it was on when i ran through the channels.
I know that it found a few overlaps with the check box.
Apologies for my oversight, but i'm extremely thankful for your insight.
