When I read your last post here, the only thing I have to associate with the emotion of the post is your avitar unhappily smacking it's head. Is it reflective? --- End quote --- Replace the frown with a devilish sarcastic grin and it would be a better fit. (not sure what a sarcastic grin would look like, but you get the idea) |

Well... Thats good to hear. Because a guy that just smacks himself all day long couldn't be a happy camper. ;) |

Actually, I had a thought (yes it hurt) last night that actually woke me up. It sucked too cause I could not get back to sleep. But, If you run 2 light wiz'z, when you set up the animations in the controll pannel you will have to write different animations for each LW. Meaning that if you want them to synch you will have to count frames and make sure that the timing of all the frames add up. That could turn into a logistical nightmare. I am toying with the idea (and it was someone elses idea that I borrowed) with doint 1 LW for the main CP full color and one for the cabinet, with left overs going to single color CP. This means that if I wanted to scroll lights across the CP like in muhuti's video, I would need to make sure that the frame count for each set was exact. It would almost have to be storyboarded on paper. Edited -> :P <- Sorry, it was a necessary add. |

You then could set the LED's and timing in a WYSIWYG fashion. The sequence editor could hide fact that your generating commands or more than one LEDWiz. This brings up a good question though. Randy, will you modify Luma to have a selection for which LEDWiz you are setting up a sequenece for and will this information be stored in the LWA file or will the LWA file be independent of the device? With the clipboard interface, you won't be able specify which board to go to unless you introduce a new LWZ_DEVICE command or something like that. |

Currently, everything is called with an LWZ prefix. I think the z will indicate device 0 and LW1 through LW9 will be sent to the proper device. This will limit the number of devices addressable by the clipboard feature to 10, but that's the breaks :) As for the LumAura panel, I think that will need to be expanded with a drop down control indicating the current device number. Could be a programming nightmare to track that many devices, but it might not be too bad.. I'll have to think about it some more when I get back into it. RandyT |
