EmmienLightFan Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Is it possible to get text from a computer onto my matrix (Scrolling), and have a simple program that I can type things into and it will come up on the screen? Could also be used for more interactive things and a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMeBobO Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Not possible to do real time with LOR software. There are plenty of ways to do text, but all of them are compiled first along with all of your other lighting commands. LOR plays pre-prepared sequences only.

EmmienLightFan Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Matt Johnson has a system so people can text and it comes up. This is done with a Rapsberry Pi. He doesn't explain exactly how the text is mapped onto pixels though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeighan Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 The code for putting text onto a running show was written by capt Murdoch. If u go to falconchristmas.com the code is avail free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmienLightFan Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 I have a Raspberry Pi. If the code on its own ran, it could control an E1.31 controller, in a gap where the PC isn't controlling it. E1.31 allows multiple computers to control it, which is handy.

EmmienLightFan Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 After reading more it seems only one PC can control an E1.31 controller at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
