Xlights Setup / Re: Mapping xlights models to controller outputs

Problem solved.

Thanks to Boof63's suggestion, as I was gathering the controller setups to post here, I discovered a typo in the output to universe mapping in the controller.  Looked at that thing at least ten times and never saw it until I looked at a different screen and everything was in fixed width columns and then it stuck out like a sore thumb.

Probably should have added my controller setup as well

Xlights Setup / Mapping xlights models to controller outputs

« on: December 10, 2016, 07:10:26 AM »

I am attempting to map my models onto actual controller outputs.  Everything seemed pretty straightforward until I tried to use the test functionality.  I have gone back through everything three times and I don't see what I am missing, so hopefully fresh eyes can help.

1. Setup two controllers in Setup tab ( actual controllers are J1Sys ECGP12R ).  I am strictly speaking only testing the first controller at the moment.
2. In Setup, Outputs 1-12 have matching universe numbers and 512 channels each
3. In Layout tab, I have the setup shown in ModelConfig.png

Problems:
1. The Tool Tips when hovering over outputs in the Test window don't match what I think they should.  For example, when hovering over output 4, the tool tip says that it maps to bush 5 and bush 6 although the ModelConfig says bush 6 maps to output 5.  Perhaps not related to my bigger problem
2. When I test output 6, I get nothing.  Bush 7 does not light up as I expect.
3. When I test output 7, I get both outputs 6 and 7 turning on.  i.e. Bush 7 and FrontTree[0|1]

I have checked to make sure that the right strings are plugged into the correct outputs.  I assume I am missing something about the size and/or start of the universes but I just can't find it.
