Zig Zag Config
« on: November 18, 2017, 11:18:22 PM »
I am upgrading to a 32 string tree this year from 16. I am making sure I understand the Wiki right here. From the wiki:

I have 16 X 50 strings for my mega tree. How do I get the xlights to do a zig zag on the preview window?

If you have 16 strings, and string 1 starts from the bottom, 2 from the top, 3 from the bottom etc , in that case, make your tree model so that the strings are 2x the actual length and then configure the strings to have 2 strands per string. So, the model is 8 strings of 100 with 2 strands.


So for 32 strands where every other strand is reversed, I just need to have 16 strings with 100 nodes and 2 strands?

So you enter 16 strings. 100 nodes per string and 2 strands per string.
