maximum 90% brightness
« on: October 05, 2016, 02:02:18 AM »
Need help/clarification re fixing maximum brightness to 90% of full on.
I have a LOR AC controller running 16 rope lights which I'd like to be on no more than 90%.
I'd like to set this globally (so I don't have to change every effect in every sequence I imported from LOR to xLights).

Before anyone asks, I'm NOT using a Pi.  :D

So, does the 'Dimming Curves' in Layout do this, or is there some other way?
ie. if I set Brightness to -10 on each of the 16 models will this achieve what I want?
I know just enough to be dangerous :0

The model dimming curve will globally change the model for the entire sequence.  If you have already rendered the fseq, you will have to re-render to get the change to take affect.

Why would we ask about that?  Can you change brightness in the Pi?  Now if you were running outputs on an F16v2 I'd tell you to do it there.  But since that is a LOR AC controller I'll assume its running DMX and I don't think a Falcon board can be configured to change the brightness but hey maybe that feature got added there also.

Thanks Kevin, glad to know I was heading in the right direction.

Gil, I've asked questions on forums that are possibly hardware related and I've had a few responses "if you were using pi, fpp, f16 etc" so I was just trying to preempt that. I sometimes think I'm the only person running their show on a PC running xLights scheduler :)
