DMX for Firefli is now working

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   Darryl has tested the firmware (but I've been busy at work).

Connect up to 10 strings (160 pixels / 480 channels) to a single controller!

Adjust the dimming linearity values for Red, Green and Blue.

Make it work "backwards"

Subdivide the pixels (make it act like 8 pixels instead of 16) to reduce channel counts.

It is now on the D-Light website in the Open Forum.

	Done some significant testing now. The current DMX firmware for Firefli is working very well. So far, I'm just testing with a DMX output program (Abuelites), but it has worked great for multiple strings on a single controller. The real test will be with Sequencing Software on fast and slow chases!!!

	My testing with Aurora has not been great. :( While I have input several trial setups (I'm using Network 32 and it sees my D-Light dongle), I am not getting the correct colors out. ... by "not great" I mean that Red usually gives me solid white and Green will sometimes be Blue'ish. How should I be setting up the channels? I have been adding a Firefli controller from the list. How would I add a Firefli that actually had more strings? 32 pixels, 48 pixels, etc... A "sample" file to look at might be useful. Edited by JonB256 - 06 Apr 2011 at 12:02pm

	Jon. I would think some sort of open channel controller will be created in future version so you can run 1 channel or 100 channels from a controller. As of now, you need to set it up as a normal 16 channel controllers. The combine the channels by RGB. Thats how I did one of my pixel controllers for 15 rgb modules. . pixel 1 (Ch1 red, Channel 2 blue, channel 3 green) Pixel 2 (channel 4 red, channel 5 blue, channel 6 green) and so on.
