I finally ran my sequences for a full 4 hours last night.
I'm running the 0.2 release, with all the firmware updated on the D-Light controllers (I have 3 x AC16's).
All ran with out a glitch apart from one sequence about 3 1/2 hours into the show, it loaded the sequence and started to playback, but one controller was not outputting to the lights. I looked at the controller which wasn't outputting to the lights and the connection LED was solid, so it was still connected to the scheduler. I let the song finish, stopped the scheduler, power cycled all the controllers and then started the scheduler again and all worked perfectly again.
I suspect it's a d-light firmware issue since I saw a similar issue during halloween when one of the controllers did the same thing. I did the same thing to correct the issue.
Other than that, big round of applause to the team who wrote this S/W, huge improvement over the D-light S/W, much appreciated

So you've not seen any fade issues?? I wonder what could be unique to my setup that would cause this.

Comporder1-
Due to going shopping with my wife I didn't get a chance to test your sequence on the controllers today. My show starts in just 50 minutes so I don't have time to do it today (I don't have any spare controllers... they're all in use on the live show so I have to do my testing during the daytime hours).
Does changing the ramp to a different time help any (like using 1.5 seconds instead of 2)... the answer will help me with which section of code is most likely be the cause (for instance, the optimizer vs. the ramp hash)? ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

No I'm not seeing any ramp issues, either ramiping up or down. They are all smooth.
I assume you have the latest firmware, I have 1.13 installed on all boards.

Pete,
Would you have a second to load my sequence (other thread) and check it out against your setup?
If you aren't able, No worries!

Just loaded it (see my repl). I don't have my controllers here to test a live output though. There is something strange on your spiral trees through. |
