New SSC

[rmp2917]

I expect it to all behave correctly together. Now some of the wild combinations, there is likely some arguments that could be made on what is correct.
I will have the Hybrid stuff working with the Groups and nulls tonight or tommorrow night. I am hoping then we will have the bases all covered as the String mode is not effective by reverse. And the null nodes already work in it.

OK that clarifies it for me thanks.
 So another question. ( I guess I am just having some brain fade here) So if you have say a 100 node string with say 5 null nodes and a 3 grouping in Hybrid mode How many channels should you actually have then? If the first 3 in Hybrid are "All" RGB In this scenario

 Channel 6 = All Red
 Channel 7= All Green
 Channel 8= All Blue
Channel 9= first 3 nodes Red
Channel 10= First 3 Blue and so on.... OR

Channel 8= all On Red... SO on? Make sense?

So total Channel count would be 68?

If you have 100 nodes with 5 null, you would have 95 nodes. With grouping of 3, you would have 31 groups with 2 extra nodes not used. With 31 groups in hybrid mode, you would have 96 channels. The first channel will always be 1 or whatever you program it to.

Channel 1 = All Red
Channel 2 = All Green
Channel 3 = All Blue
Channel 4 = First 3 nodes Red
Channel 5 = First 3 nodes Green
Channel 6 = First 3 nodes Blue
Channel 7 = Second 3 nodes Red
...
Channel 96 = Last 3 nodes Blue

You would have 5 nodes at the beginning of the string that do not light and 2 nodes at the end of the string that do not light.

You would have 5 nodes at the beginning of the string that do not light and 2 nodes at the end of the string that do not light.

That make sense and was what I was trying to do. I just can't divide!    But did not know if the 2 left over lights should be at the beginning or the end and if they used any channels if in the beginning.

Ok here it is with the Hybird fixes for nul nodes and groups!

Good lord I did not realize how many ways these little thing could get configured.

Give it heck and see what you find.

I will point out there is no such thing as String mode with reverse ?. It does not work correct and the updated SSC utility will disable the ablilty to choose it in the next release.

How about changing the direction of each node  (forward or backward)

Hey you built them!!! We just get to play with them! 

[rdebolt]

You are going to shoot me, but it appears that null nodes are not working

Hybrid\backwards\120 nodes\5 null\1 grouping\Flex Strips=
Channel 1 all red
2 green
3 blue
4 last node in string red (as it should be)
5 last node green......


Grouping does appear to be working, but still no nulls.

[rdebolt]

In the above scenario channel 348 is node 114 blue nodes 115-120 do not light.

Hope this helps. If you are not screaming blood murder right now!

[RJ]

It is working here with those settings. The nodes will be on the SSC side always even in reverse as it should be.

OK I see what you are saying, but I seem to have 6 null nodes if that is the case. Make Sense?

[rdebolt]

Forgive my ignorance, I don't use Null nodes or hybrid. 

[RJ]

Forgive my ignorance, I don't use Null nodes or hybrid. 

It's ok better to ask the question. Is it making sense and working now?

Your 120 node is really 125 since you have 5 nodes it ignores. so your 1st node is still channel #1 but it is not node #1 but #6, in reverse it should be node #125

It is also not channel #1 but channel #4....   

It gets confusing when you get hybrid in reverse with nuls as you already have three fake channels

RJ


btw ....  my head hurts from working this and trying to keep it straight in my head!   

[rdebolt]

RJ I understand what you are saying (At least I think  ), but If I only program 5 null nodes and 1 grouping should not all but the 1st 5 nodes in the string work? Or am I really still missing something.

[rdebolt]

What I am seeing is that from the 1st node from the SSC I cannot turn on the 6th node in the string. They all light with channel 1,2,3.

Hybrid, Null Nodes, Reverse order what a Brilliant Stupid Idea 

LOL

Rick R.

I agree, my brain is hurting and I am not doing code.

[rdebolt]

What's code?
