Custom Model
« on: November 27, 2020, 11:47:28 AM »
I've struggled with X-Lights' learning curve for 3 or 4 years now. The very altruistic gentleman who has been helping me is a computer genius and over-explains, complicates, and confuses me to a degree my entire setup is almost worthless. So, I'm having to do a very late crash course trying to fix immediate goobers and identify what else I need to relearn. A late show will be better than nothing and while the lights are up is the only time I can actually see results in action.

My most pressing issue is I had to set my matrix as a custom model because of the offset pixels. I'm pretty OK with Excel, so I built it there then copied and pasted it successfully. It's worked for two years, but this year it only lights the first 15 or so rows, skips a few rows, then lights 3 or 4 more. I think I really messed up trying to set the channels/ports plus I stoopidly changed settings on the Falcon FPP. I expect I just need to reenter correct info, but since I never learned this correctly to begin with, I'm totally lost.

Any help is UNBELIEVABLY appreciated.

Go to the zoom room. Someone there will get you going.

Thank you. I will absolutely follow that advice shortly.
I'm curious about how that works, but I'll ask that next time. Thanks again.

OK. It's been a looooooooooong time since I used zoom or tapatalk. Can someone show me instructions for signing in, please? Apparently I still have my user name registered but I must have outdated passcodes/forum passwords etc. Thanks.
