MaLa LED Support Questions

--- Quote from: stoli on July 23, 2006, 09:57:02 am ---Maybe it's a bug in the attractmode software because I do have the 32 LED board selected like you show in the pic. I can select 16-32 on the list, and assign buttons to them but it will only show LEDs 1-16 on the screen.

Yeah I think you are right, so to make it work for you:
You need to set the defaults first!
I have never had this issue before as when I connected the hardware I set my defaults with that set-up.
But I can understand you want to have a play before you get the hardware.
So I just tried it on two PC without hardware and it does work if you save the defaults first

I'm glad you asked. When the hardware is connected, clicking the checkbox will light the LED. This allows you to see what button is lit so you can assign it accordingly. This is a great feature as when you wire up the LEDS you don't have to worry about what LED number is going into what button as your can assign them however you like later ;D
Check out the ugly panel I just made (attached)
stoli:
I guess it is me. I just tried again by saving the defaults like you said and still no go. It will only display 1-16. ???
I tried selecting 32(1 Board), 48(2Boards), and 64(2 Boards) and no matter how many leds over 16 I assign, it will only show 16.
loadman:
After you save the deafults are you then starting a 'New' layout. Then changing the 'LED Config' NOT 'LED Default Config' to assign your buttons?
stoli:
I was not resetting the default config apparently. Now I see that if I change the default config to "32 (1 Board)" and then check the "Use for new files" box, then it works fine. I guess just a little confusion on my part. Thanks for the help. I'm sure it will make more sense as I start creating new attract mode sequences.
It looks like no matter what board you have selected in the "LED Config ...", the software looks at the "LED Default Config ..." to determine how many LEDs are allowed on the canvas.

You are right, That is a bug. I never noticed that bug before as when I connected my hardware I set-up my defaults then.
But Hey, It works now! :cheers:
Have fun making Led Sequences.
You can make many, then choose to have these sequences playing in a random order if you want and MaLa also includes a built in Random sequence you can choose to add to the mix. (See Pic A)
You can also have mala play sequences triggered by certain events (See pic B)
PS I'm painting the skirting boards at home right now an I just got paint on the keyboard (D'oh!)
