Of all the BONE HEADED things to do

I was installing my pixel icicles yesterday and I figured out a way to make the power wiring easier if I just fed the data down the string from the right instead of the left.  So I proceeded to mount them and wire tie them in place figuring I would just program the E682 to to "reverse" for the pixel order..

 

OMG.. What a BONE HEADED thing to do.  The E682 doesn't reverse the order by the prop.. it does it by the pixel.  I KNOW THIS.. but didn't think about it.  So now all my programming is bassackwards... CRAPOLY!!! 

 

Now I am making a new channel config reversing all the icicles pixel channels, by each icicle prop..  That means 8 universes worth.  Since there is absolutely no easy way to do it in the Channel Config to reassign the DMX channels in LOR, I have to do it reversing the order in the sequence editor by physically moving every RBG pixel then Exporting the Channel Config file, then importing into the shows I have already programmed.  That will make the show run corrrectly, but what a pain in the A$#

LOR!!!!  Are you listening.. there needs to be a better way to work with the Channel Config files.. Everyone has been saying it for years.. Now I am piling on.. not that it makes any difference.. but if you screw up like I did you can see how crummy of a system you have for setting up or changing channel assigmennts.  It just plain sucks..
