Wasn't sure which thread to go into, but I was hoping for some Nutcracker into LSP help.
I have a 20 strip * 33 Pixel tree sitting on the floor in the hallway. It's connected to the P12R using 4 Universes. So on each universe, it runs up-down-up-down-up and the other 3 channels run the same way (up-down-up-down-up).
I managed to get the tree working perfectly in Nutcracker/X-Lights by using the following settings:
Display As: Tree 180
Actual # of strings: 4 (4 universes)
# of RGB Nodes per String: 165 (each universe as 1 string)
# of strands per string: 5
Start Channel: 1
Starting at bottom left.
I created a 10 second sequence and exported the file (the 60 second one I created earlier wouldn't import at all).
I renamed the file (Useratterns.xml) and stuck it into the LSP directory and then opened LSP.
I expanded all 20 elements (each strip is an element (I'm guessing I should have made the universe 1 element)
I created a timing mark at 15 seconds and put in 60 timing marks (just a random number here)
I pasted the pattern in, which filled in all the 20 strips worth of channels and put it's own timing marks in.
The sequence in LSP looks absolutely nothing like the Nutcracker one. It definitely all lights up and every 1 second interval, it also seems to go off for a fraction of a second.
Can anyone with experience offer any help here? I was hoping to use a few Nutcracker effects for the Mega Tree and will also be using different macro's. I'm just testing the water before I start production on the sequencing. I can say after using Nutcracker for the last 2 days, it's very easy and quick to play around on the tree. It allows dynamic changes without having to wait.
