How do i know what universe
« on: August 22, 2014, 12:27:01 PM »
Ok I am working on a matrix project. MY pixlite 16 board is asking my for a universe for the start of my matrix. I know the my channels start at 9555ix x lights but how do I know what universe to set it to?

While I'm not sure what 9555ix is, I'll assume it is 9555

If so, then divide 9555 by 512. That gives you 18.662

Toss away the .662  That means you aren't starting at a Universe boundary (I like to start on the boundaries).

Then add 1.  You are in DMX Universe 19  (you add the 1 because there is no Universe 0)

Here are the DMX Universe Start numbers up to Universe 32

9217  - you are in this one if 9555 is correct.
