grouptcl Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Using S5 what is the proper setup to create a motion text effect rectangular motion matrix ? This is what I had done but I get the hint that it's not the proper way to create this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Two changes. On the left where it has Motion Effects rows, set at least one. You can add more later as well. On the right in the channels section, check the box for "Separate Unit ID for each string" (the Pixie requires it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grouptcl Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 Having a real hard time setting up this stuff. One of my first goal is to setup a matrix for scrolling text such as TUNE 98,4, happy halloween etc etc I guess my first question is physically what do you recommend as far as size is concerned, how may pixels wide by how many pixels high would be the MINIMUM required for it to be ledgible ? What distance apart do you set the pixels ? Also can anyone point me to a tutorial to setup a pixie 8 controller as a matrix on S5 ? The hardware test is fine but sequences does not seem to be functional Thanks in advance for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
default Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) What is the Unit Id's for your Pixie8? ie the first Unit ID? How many pixel are on each string, 50, !00? I'll set one up and post a pic. I'll create a couple different sizes for you to look at. Alan... Edited August 24, 2019 by default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grouptcl Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 Unit ID is 5, 50 pixels per string, seems to be functional now after some testing, however I was unable to attachh 2 50 strings to one another to create a 100 string, pixie8 only lights up the first 50 lights and disregards the second 50, any idea why ?

I don’t have luck with gif images with that size- but if you use a paint software and can make your own pixelated images like stick men, they look nice on that size coro. Happy you found the pixie thread useful. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
