new prop
« on: February 06, 2018, 01:28:17 PM »
I'm building a new prop, its to look like a candle. The body is made of 60 pixels 20 up and down and back up, like a matrix. The flame on top is 10 pixels, connected to the string of the body. Thus the string has 70 pixels. I tried to lay it out as a matrix vertical 3 strings of 20 pixels, and connect the flame to the end of the matrix. I laid out the flame to start at the end of the matrix.. I configured the controller for a zig zag of 20 pixels.  It did not work, the body was correct but no flame. Each candle will be on its own output. There will be two of these along the door.  Can you give me any ideas to get this to work?   Charlie J.

Custom model or a matrix model and a custom model chained. Either will work. It just depends on what you prefer.

Thanks, I found my problem to be in the setup of the controller. All is working as expected  Charlie J.
