set up model
« on: November 03, 2016, 02:25:36 PM »
I hope I can explain this in a way that it makes since.  I am using Xlights 2016.50

I am converting my roof line from 3 strings of leds ( Red,Green,White) to RGB pixels.

The pixels are 4 inches apart  and would like to define them so that I can put an ON effect on every 3rd one.  RGWRGWRGW and so on.

Then also be able to turn the whole string red, green or any other color and do other effects on the whole string.   How do I define the string ?

As a custom model with  X number of pixels and number them 123123123123 etc? Or is there a better way or easier way?
Thanks in advance for the help!!

Just number them normal in consecutive order.  You can use a Marquee effect to turn every 3rd led a particular color.
