Questions about Megatree model
« on: October 14, 2020, 04:31:40 PM »
I'm having trouble assigning my megatree (32 x 75) to my controller (Kulp F-8B).  Must all of the strings be the same size?  I have 5 strings of 450 and 1 string of 150.  Visualiser assigns 6 strings of 450.  Doesn't this throw off all of the effects?  I've also tried 16 strands of 150, Visualiser assigns 1 string to each of 16 outputs I only have 8!).In either case it won't let my drag any of the strands to another port.

Your thoughts???

Yes xlights assumes all strings are the same size. If you want different sizes you will need to look into shadow models if you want to do an upload or manually configure the controller.

UPDATE - After talking with the guys in the Zoom Room, I've decided to cut my Megatree to 75 x 30.  I have too many other things going on, so I decided to take the easiest way and not fight Xlights.  Thanks to everyone here and in the Zoom Room, and Merry Christmas! :)
