Xlights Setup / Re: LOR CCR Setup

« on: February 01, 2017, 06:28:30 PM »

I'm using a PC and planning to run my show out of LOR. My plan was to take advantage of the xlights features to program my ccr tree and export it to LOR.

With how difficult it seems to be to use the LOR-CCR controllers with xlights, I'm leaning towards keeping the LOR-CCrs in either superstar or pixel editor and using xlights for the pixels that run off my e1.31 network.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Xlights Setup / LOR CCR Setup

« on: January 29, 2017, 11:43:04 AM »

Hello,
I'm relatively new to xlights but want to dive in and take advantage of the pixel programming capabilities. I've been playing with it for a few months and have read through the manual and have even managed to program a short sequence. One of my ultimate goals is to use it to program my LOR 12-CCR tree this year. Here's where I've hit a wall; not with the programming but with the setup.

After reading and re-reading the manuals, I'm assuming I have to run the ccr's in DMX mode which isn't a problem. My dilemma is how to set the 12 ccrs in the xlights setup tab. When I look at the choices in the setup tab after selecting USB->DMX, I have no idea how to fill in the information. BTW, currently my ccrs start at 0F and run through 1A (hex).

I've searched this forum but didn't find anything that seemed to speak to this issue. If there is a post on this already please let me know, and I'll go look it up. Also, any additional information that can be provided would be awesome.

Thank you very much!

Thanks to Ben Shaver over on the xLights facebook group for the answer. Just as an FYI, he suggested that I set the window to full screen size which he said would cause the nutcracker preview to adjust....and it did.

I can now see the entire preview screen even if I resize the window.

Thanks for all the help.

The one on the Nutcracker tab. I've attached a pic. You'll notice the little black square in the upper left corner that should be much bigger.

Thanks for the reply. However, the laptop screen is 17 inches with a resolution of 1280x720. The laptop is connected to a 21 inch external display.  I've installed this version on my Windows  laptop and it works fine. Any other suggestions?

Xlights Setup / Nutcracker 3.06.15 on Vista

Hello,
I loaded Nutcracker onto my Vista laptop which completed successfully. When I open the program the preview window is a very tiny square in the upper left corner where the normal size window should be.  Does anyone know what I'm missing?  Any and all help is greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
