Hi Guys,

I am trying to figure out how to set this up in clean way. I have 3 LED bars and each bar has five heads. I want (for now) 2 of the 3 bars to act like the lights of a police car.
Do I create scenes for every step needed? So 1 scene with head 1 and 2 blue and other heads off. 1 scene with heads 4 and 5 red and other heads off. (Perhaps head 3 always white)
And then create a chaser and add these scenes?

I think when I do it like this it will work, right? But does that mean you guys also have a lot of scenes too? I mean if you want to control per LED bar ( I have 3) I can think of many many scenes. Or am I missing the clue here?

Best regards,

Gerard

I'd use a RGB matrix with Even/Odd preset, with start color = red and end color = blue. Done.
You just need to spend some minutes to figure out the best displacement of heads on a fixture group

I will definitely look into that, thank you! But technically, could this first one in the video be done with a chaser? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWRRpA-0kJo

of course ...

2x pulse red + rest + 2x pulse blue + rest
play with the timings and it will be perfect
