Latest xLights/Nutcracker software / VU Meter Delay - Am I doing something wrong?
« on: June 11, 2020, 03:33:04 PM »
I've used Xlights on and off for a little while - but I finally got around to trying to define a VU Meter on a single string.
Must of course say thanks for Keith and the team or some great software - the constant development and video updates are great.
The set-up is basic and is as follows:
o. Xlights 2020-23
o. WLED on a Wemos D1 Mini with 50 Pixel LEDS
o. Single controller defined in XLights - All seems to be working as expected
o. 2 x single column 25 pixel vertical matrices, one configured to start bottom left, one top right (so the VU Meters head towards each other
I have defined 2 VU meters (1 on each model) to pulse to a track at 25ms timing. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but when I define them as Waveform VU meters, they seem to follow the music correctly. When I define them as spectographs or volume based options, the LEDs seem to rapidly be ahead of the music. Am I doing something wrong?
