New SSC

[RJ]

I was confused. I remeber now I did it in a way that the new firmware does work on the old SSC's just not the other way around.

Now I am confused. Did you mean the new utility works on older SSC's? Or the firmware?

The Smart String Utility (SSU) from 9/30/12 is compatible with all version of the SSC, DSC (firmware ver 1 - 4)
The SSU before version 9/30/12 is Not fully compatible with the newer SSC firmware (v3+)

clear as mud?

That is what I was thinking. I just wanted clarification to be sure.

Glad to hear it!

I did it that way originally to make it easier for the users but they have produced them with the order all over the place so I guess I am ready to do this. Just do not expect it soon as I am in battle at the moment with much bigger goals items.

No rush.  You have been coding like a young Bill Gates.  Hope to jump in the conductor beta and see if I can help.

Young Bill Gates coded little to nothing.  Just saying. Go with a young Wozniak as a better analogy

Wozniak?  he tinkered in old Atari parts...   


cant wait to see these newer SSC's

Keep up the testing guys! We want to get a coop going soon but we need to know it is 100%.

Try everything you can and then post your findings.

Has anyone confirmed the in-between grouping capabilities, I.e. groups of 5-15 nodes or so ?   Thanks rj and all the beta testers !

[zwiller]

Happy to test it but not sure exactly how it grouping should work.  Is it like a hybrid mode but controls a group?  IE 100 nodes, 10 groups.  Channels 1, 2, 3 control RGB first 10 nodes, channels 4, 5, 6 control RGB for next 10 nodes, etc OR does channel 1, 2, 3 control RGB for every ten nodes.  Nodes 1, 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91 would be red, 2, 12, 22 green etc.  OR probably something else entirely...

When I tested this is how it worked for me and worked without problem for me.

Thanks.  Glad to see it's working but I'll test it too.  I just have to try this now to see for myself...

Backwards with grouping seems to be off (or I'm just not getting what grouping/null is supposed to do) 

14 node string with 1 null node and grouping of 2
   I would expect on channel 1,2,3 the 3rd and 4th nodes from the end to light up but at channels 25,26,27 the 1st and 2nd from the end light up and so on groups of 2 nodes light as I go up.

14 node string with 0 null nodes and grouping of 2
   nothing happens until channels 22,23,24

14 node string with 0 null nodes and grouping of 1
  works perfect at channels 1,2,3



Forward using the same as above works great nulls and grouping

I agree that there seems to be an issue:

Flex Strip 120 nodes Programmed backwards no null, 2 grouping

1st light on channel 181= 2 lights red, 182= 2 lights, green, 183= 2 light blue and so on.

No lights before 181

Forward works as it should
