I finally found this useful nugget of information on how the DMX address is formed in xLights:
"xLights uses the DMX channel mapping defined by LOR. Unit 6, channel 10 goes to DMX channel 90. The formula is DMXch=(u-1)*16+c"
Maybe that also helps someone else...On to my questions...
I am running in "multi-network" mode and I have the following networks defined:
* xLights 1 - e131 / 512 last channel / universe 1
* xLights 2 - e131 / 512 last channel / universe 2
* xLights 3 - e131 / 512 last channel / universe 3
* xLights 4 - e131 / 512 last channel / universe 4
Am I correct to have my LOR sequence arranged so that everything being output as follows:
xLights 1 - LOR LMS: Network="0"
xLights 2 - LOR LMS: Network="1"
xLights 3 - LOR LMS: Network="2"
xLights 4 - LOR LMS: Network="3"
Should xlights network "1" be blank, starting with 0 or 1?
My net question is - xLights, if every channel in a network has unit "1" - which results in basically a single 512 channel controller from what I can tell - then xLights (in the schedule information window) reads only channels 1-16 output. Is it really outputting only channels 1-16? If I bump up one of the "units" to 32 then it reads 512 channels. How do I get it to map so that one output=a single 512 channel controller with only one "unit"?
Thanks,
David
