I've created a 12 strand mega tree with flexstrips. I had to cut the ends around the 90 node point. I'm not 100% sure if I have 90, 89, 93 or something else...but it's in that range for each string. To be on the safe side I am reserving 95x3 channels for each controller.
I'm using the active hub and trying to reserve the first 512 channels for DMX, so my first SSC starts at channel 513, the second one starts at 798 and so on.
When I did a simple test output in xlights a few really strange things are happening. It would look like the first string is on and nothing on after 30 or so lights on the second string. Each string has its own controller.
Is my math/logic wrong, OR, do the flex strings have memory in them? My assumption is when I programmed the SSC the only real value of using lights in the connecton is to look for flashing nodes to confirm the programming happened. Is that an incorrect assumption? Any thoughts on what I have done wrong?
Might be just me being tired. Any help is appreciated as always.
thanx,
Ryan
