bobschm Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I think that's what I need. Here's the problem. In a typical fade up from 0 to 100%, LOR will send data numbers from 0-255 to the Sandevices E682 board. I need it to send 0 to about only 50 for data. Or I need to sequence every one of my sequences to 0-25% max. (Is there an easy way to do that?) My pixels are blasting full Rudolph nose at 25% on the LOR scale. This explains why they looked so glitchy last year. So is there an adjustment in LOR that limits the data values? Or am I looking at all-nighters til Thanksgiving.

bob_moody Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 If I understand what you asking .. I think the solution would be under:Tools | Fade Tool Settings Normally, this is set to 0 on the top bar and 100 on the bottom bar.Select the second radio button (on each) and that will start the fade at 0 and run it up to 50% (Other options are available) Then change the fade on ole Rudolph using this new setting... To globally change all of you fades at once .. I dont think there is a route to that (but I am NOT the expert ... ) However... there is a caveat that may squirrel the deal .. This is from the LOR Help ..."Fades are only supported on Light-O-Rama controllers. If one is used on a different device type, it will simply immediately turn the lights completely on or completely off, based on the ending brightness of the fade (fades ending at greater than 10% brightness are considered "on", and others are considered "off")."

bobschm Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Jim of SanDevices solved this. He concluded that this was a power problem. I was using a DC-DC convertor scheme this year. Bad idea. I suspect the convertors put out very noisy unfiltered DC that was wreaking havoc on the 2811 chips in the pixels as soon as I went above 25% on the LOR scale. I hitched one string to a small Meanwell supply I had and it worked. Just ordered several more supplies and hopefully they will arrive early next week. Problem solved. JIM is the GREATEST!
