having trouble creating fixture of 4 arches from 1 ccr

[bretk]

anybody done this? what i am actually doing is extending the ribbon to 10 meters, thus dropping each arch from 25 pixels to 12.5 pixels. how do I form these?



thanks

12 1/2 pixels?

I don't think you can't cut a pixel in half.

I think you need to make 2 of them 13 pixels and 2 of them 12 pixels, you cant extract a pixel into 2. Extending them is same as the 6803 you are already playing with cut at the points, solder on wire and go. What you may wanna do depending on your arch setup, as in they are close together have the odd pixel on the ground or in between 2 arches so each will be 12 pixels and the 13 will be the joint between them. Once again that depends on your setup.

I am planning on the 13 th pixel blacked out . my problem is the arch wizard will not let me make an arch 12 pixels it says the minimum resolution is 2 pixels in a 12 segment arch

Cant you draw a CCR? You just click out the arch with the channels. I might be mistaken but when you click on CCR wizard you actually click out the 50 pixels.

1 - Use the Arch Wizard. Create a 12 pixel arch (4 Segments, 3 pixels per segment) [12]
2 - Use the 'Draw CCR' command. Draw a pixel, assign it to Segment 4 of the first arch. [13]
3 - Create 2 more 4x3 arches with the Arch Wizard. [37]
4 - Use the 'Draw CCR' command. Draw a pixel, assign it to Segment 4 of Arch 3. [38]
5 - Use the arch wizard and create the last arch. [50]
6 - Assign the base unit/starting pixel/etc to all the fixtures.
