DMX Flood Channel Presets?
« on: February 22, 2020, 10:29:59 PM »
I am very new to xLights so may not be searching for the correct terms...
I have some very cheap 8 channel RGBW floods...
I only want to use the RGB channels (5, 6 & 7)...
I can easily just set these up in the xLights model...
But the lights master output is controlled by channel 1 (regardless of what the RGB channels are set for)
Essentially I always want channel 1 to be set for 255 and then just use the RGB channels for control..
I would think (but could easily be wrong) that I should be able to do this in the Model and then the sequencing could just treat the light as easily as a RGB pixel..

Should I be looking at another way to do it?
Thanks

No we don't automatically activate channels its up to the user to decide when they want channels triggered.  Its pretty easy to put an effect on a lower layer on that model across an entire sequence that triggers the channel.
