changing patch on models

[Tenersaxman3000]

Hi,

I have a Falcon 48 that has smart boards to control the pixels.

I have a working Map on ports 1-4

I try to edit, change or delete any models using ports 5-6 and 1-4 stop responding.

Its like there is auto mapping going on behind the scenes... I have spend hours trying to re- map very simple models to new ports that the pixels are attached to. No such luck....

I am lost now.

Its like i have a nasty patching bug stuck in myshow file.

I cant figure out how to send the config to the controller in X lites either. upload input and output are not available to click on

Not a newbie, its my 12th year doing this.

You are working the controllers the "hard way". In your controllers setup, choose a vendor and model. For example, I assigned Falcon and F16V3 to your first controller.

Then I went into visualize button and dragged models to the ports on the controller. This is the "easy way".

When you do it this way, the upload functions will work as well. Zoom room (go to xlights home page and look for the Zoom button top right) can help with any questions as this is purely a training issue. If you run into specific problems, you can hit us up here.

I noticed something else as I went to close out of xLights. You appear to be "reusing" universes. Best practice is to use different universes to different controllers. I know you have different IPs assigned and the channels appeared to increase on each but that won't always work depending on how things are connected and what protocols you are using.

I went through the show and changed all universes to start at 1 and continue up through controllers. Part of my show dates back to PCB boards that are 15 years old, before the Falcon 48's and break out boards etc.

everything syncing nicely now.
