I think have a major design bust in my display but I thought I would ask the experts before I throw in the towel for this year. I installed icicles across the front of my house every 3 inches, up and down gables, across gutters, etc. They are installed in groups of ten icicles with each icicle consisting of a 16 led strip. Each group of 10 is controlled by a Falcon F16V3 output from one of three controllers. To minimize wire lengths to the nearest controller I reverse wired the groups on the "down side" of the gables with the intent of using the reverse option on the controller output port to get the correct direction flow. That appears to be a mistake.
When I reverse the port output for the group to get the direction correct, because the beginning of the first icicle in a group starts at the top and ends at the bottom of the 10th icicle, the entire group is displayed upside down. I can't scroll text across the icicles, whole house group effects are distorted, meteors go up instead of down, etc., and it is just a mess. I use a multi-segment poly-line model in X-lights for the icicle model.
Is there a way to correct this problem in software or do I need to rewire everything next year to get it to work correctly?
