Bosoyco medium present lighting
« on: December 10, 2019, 06:18:05 PM »
I am brand new at this and am a little stuck.  I have a Bosoyco medium size present and have it wired to what I believe is the wire order in xLights.  Pixels start at the ribbon and arch around, then the base and finally arch back around for the other piece of ribbon.  (Pixel 1 starts at the ribbon and ends at pixel 57 on the other end.)

What I would like to do is light the present with one color and have a different color for the ribbon.  When I go into sequencer I see the present listed but I do not see how to do the different colors between the box and ribbon, right now I can only make the whole thing one color.  Since the ribbon is separated by the base in wiring order I'm not sure how to do this.

In case you need to know this:  In Layout, I see the Medium Present listed, I click the down arrow next to it and I see Base, Ribbon sides, Ribbon top, Ribbon & Bow with what looks like a little submarine with a red propeller in front of each of these items.

Well, I kept playing and figured it out!!  I had only been playing with this for two days off and on, then 30 after posting my question I figured it out.  Should have done this sooner!! :)

In case this comes up for a newbie this is what I did.

I went in to layout, right clicked and selected Add Group, filled in a name, then a list of the present parts came up, selected one item (ribbon) and hit the arrow to move it to the right and clicked save.  Repeated those steps to add the base.

When I went in to sequence, created a new one and the base and ribbon showed up as different parts.  From there I was able to light them differently.

In the sequencer double-click the model name in the row header and it expands to show you the "sub" models represented by the submarine.  You can place an On effect on the ribbon with its own color and just the ribbon will light up.
