Unexpected behavior from Bars Effect (solved)
« on: October 24, 2017, 11:59:49 AM »
I have an irregular size "matrix" on my roof. By irregular I mean that it is not square as it follows my roof line. It is a grid that I layout on my roof every year. I have attached my custom model. It is 32 strings each attached to a different output on my F16v2 (1.11 b006 firmware) with an expansion board. I am running X-Lights v2017.33.

When in test mode in X-lights my left 16 strands cycle at a different color then my right strands. All are set to forward and RGB ws2811 in my Falcon. I know that before if the channel count was off and not divisible by 3 that you would get such a reaction so I did not worry about it. Move forward to I make a sequence for the entire grid to cycle WRGB and the left 16 strings (On main board) are correct the right 16 (On expansion board) colors are still off. So I make a Bars effect To go from bottom up and the "Bar" follows the roofline..... not a straight bar that it does show in the sequencer. Clear as mud??? Left to right bars appear to be ok. So when the bars are applied to the house they follow the V line on my strings not a straight bar. I know I am probably missing something very simple but I have been out of it for so long I am really scratching my head.

Thanks,
Roger

Keith helped me figure out that is was a channel off issue in my Falcon!

Thanks,
