looks like i messed up, hope for a simple fix
« on: November 03, 2020, 12:50:58 AM »
Well i finally did it. I've been setting up some new props. Numbering the backs and then killing my fingers pixel pushing, they start to get sore after a few hundred. Anyway first 3 went ok, now I'm siting here watching tv, tested a fresh 100 set, Start at one loop wire after each pixel push(i order them 6" spacing for easy repairs) get to 100 and then test the next set,ok all good go to push in 101 and OH NO!!! I installed the first 100 starting on wrong end!!! Is there a way  i can just continue then when at end switch the order?? I went to model info, and see option under controller connection for pixel direction. Will that do what i want?? Please tell me yes.....

Depends on the prop - all most all will reverse it for you .. sometimes its clicking model data and right cligk on the grid and flip. Need to know the prop.

I'd just pull them and redo it.  We've all been there.  Better to get it right than to keep track of the one odd prop and where it goes.

I agree with Gill.  Just chalk it up to learning experience and fix right and never worry about it again.  Better to have it correct and not have an error reminder in every future year.

I was afraid of that.. since I have others done correctly, I was thinking I can just change wiring order in prop, would be faster, but then I have to remember which one. Oh well, my poor fingers
