I've had problems using the Lynx Address Utility to set addresses, first for Aether2s, and recently MR16s.
I used the xLights and the procedure below to program the MR16 and it worked the first time!

What is the new feature? ...well, xLights could be made more usable to program channels (something it was never intended to do. )
Thanks, Matt!
You can use vixen to do it. Just set all channels off then set channel #1 to the chanel number you need. If is is greater than 255 then set the 1st channel to 255 and the second channel to a number that added to 255 will get you the start channel you want.
Then have VIXEN repeat so it sends it out over and over and do the programming. They just are looking for the values of channel #1 and #2 and using them to set the address.

It's not just about usability as it turns out. The DLA programs have problems setting the starting channel, but xLights is able to cleanly perform this action for starting channels 1-255.

LoginThe problem is that xLights cannot be used to set starting channels from 256-500 as it currently works through the UI.
My (unsolicited) suggestion is to have a "Set DLA channel number tool". The tool takes a decimal value from 1-512, and sets intensity to 0 for all channels -- except for 1 (and 2?) using the logic in the thread above. I am guessing that the programming is easy, but the follow-up questions for a new feature -- and the firmware/hardware that is and is not supported with this method. But with a you-get-what-you-get feature, it would still be GREATLY appreciated!
