Right on, I’ve been having issues getting the desired visual effects I’m looking for from any other model. Looking forward to the next release, thanks !!

I was noticing if you draw the polyline from right to left (green box on right) it reverses the words in the preview window. Like you said, it’s acting like green box(N1) has to be on the left. It’s probably a result from the node1 issues you mentioned, but if it helps you figure out what the underlying issue is, then it’s worth saying something.

Thanks again!

Exactly

So I guess I’ll start making a custom model to work with till hopefilly the poly line model gets fixed. Unless you have another suggestion on a better way ?

Laserman

I was wondering.. on the strings wired per the yellow table, do those sections display the words correctly?

Thanks

After some more tinkering I believe the poly line is actually expecting to be fed from the top/left or bottom/right. Which is why reversing the output on the controller is acting exactly as if you just told it to start at the blue box instead of the green one.

If I’m reading this correctly it seems to be the same issue I’m having.

You fed the display from the top/right on the section going down the gable?
So your N1 pixel is at the top/right and N160 pixel is bottom/left of those outputs ?


N145.       N129
N146.       N130
N147.        N131
N148.       Continuing in this order to N1
N149
N150
N151
N152
N153
N154
N155
N156
N157
N158
N159
N160

I set it up as you said, the letters are upside down.

So what it looks like is the poly line model only accepts N1 to be on the bottom left or bottom right, even though the node layout diagram shows N1 on the top left.

My display is setup for N1 at the top right.
Is there anyway to use the poly line and have N1 at the top right ?

Thanks

I am trying to use a poly line model to setup my icicles.

Currently working with a small section of my layout for the purposes of this write up.
170 nodes, 1 lights/nodes, green square starting location, 10 drop pattern and these are ws2811 pixels

But the issue I’m having is it appears that the node layout doesn’t change no matter which side (blue or green) my start is at.

If I open up the node layout for the model it shows the change of the start corner at the top of the window, but the layout doesn’t change from 

N1S1     N11S1
N2S1     N12S1
N3S1     Continues in this pattern up to 170
N4S1
N5S1
N6S1
N7S1
N8S1
N9S1
N10S1

My actual layout is

N161       N151      Continues in this pattern down to N1
N162       N152
N163       N153
N164       N154
N165.      N155
N166.      N156
N167.      N157
N168.      N158
N169.      N159
N170.      N160

When I output text on this setup the words are upside down, or reversed or both.

When I set up a matrix in the layout I can get the words to output on my lights correctly if I set the start corner at top-right.

Any suggestions are appreciated

Thanks
