SUP import not working as expected
« on: April 11, 2019, 04:51:00 PM »
I imported a SUP file for a mega tree (its the Light of Christmas mega tree sequence). I loaded it to a matrix I have wired in a snake configuration. On xlights it looks file, but my pixels, all the odd columns are inverted. in xlights the node layout matches how my matrix layout is.

any ideas what is going on or what I can do to fix this???


Please help

Sounds like you forgot to tell xlights you are zigzagging them.

My wiring view is attached, is there something else I need to do?

Have you told the controller to zig zag them as well?

How can I tell the controller this? By the way, it is one continuous string.

It’s more the case that you must zig zag in one place only not both.

I can’t read that. Can’t you just post the model properties and please make sure you show all of them. Not just the ones that show by default.

here are the controller properties. I'm not sure why the end universes and channels are invalid.

Well that does not look right. You shouldn’t have all that red. Maybe upload to the controller again. Do inputs then outputs.
