Matrix model - snake pattern

[philippyle]

I'm creating a couple of 10 x 10 matrix panels that are 100 RGB bulbs each with the starting point at the bottom left.  The lights snake left to right, then right to left, then left to right moving up the panel.

What I'm finding in nutcracker though is that the matrix model only seems to go in one direction with each string of 10 being its own controller.

Is there a way to setup a single matrix with this type of snaked setup?

Strands per string.

each 100 pixel panel is one string of lights on a Pixie controller

Maybe you didn't understand.  We know you have all your pixels on one output.  The "Strands Per String" parameter is how you tell xLights to zig-zag the string.  Each zag is what we are calling a strand.

yeah, I didn't quite get it

I was setting it up as a 10x10 with 10 strings and 10 nodes/string at 1 strand/string

if I understand right, it should be 1 string with 100 nodes/string  and 10 strands/string

Actually either way can be made to work depending on the controller.  Like could set it up as a 10x10 and then do the zig-zag inside the Falcon controller.  But if you ever want to use the automatic controller upload features then the # of strings must match the true number of physical strings.

I'm using a LOR pixie controller with a 100 node smart string

Yeah you've already said that so I got no new advise.
