Issue with creating a show...lights only activate on fade out.
Posted: Tue Feb 23, 2016 7:08 pm
Hey again, I'm jumping back into figuring this thing out and started creating a show on windows.
I have this simple FTDI interface: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005CP ... ge_o06_s00
&
This simple 4 channel LED controller: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013BQ ... ge_o05_s00
I had it doing a simple fade in and fade out (albeit the timing seemed off) but now the lights will only flash on for a second when the sequence reaches the fade out portion.
If there is a 2 second fade in, a 2 second hold and a 4 second fade out the lights will be completely dark for 4 seconds until it reaches the fade out at which point they will go to full power and then slowly fade.
I don't think it's a problem with the hardware as I can watch the fixture monitor and it doesn't do a thing during the entire fade in and hold portion.
I've uninstalled and deleted all registry entries and reinstalled with no luck.
Is there something simple I'm missing here?
I've attached a screen shot of it playing just before the fade out and you can see by the monitor that the fixture is at 0 output.
Thanks for any help!
EDIT: Just a little extra info, just for fun I decided to change the sequence so that it has 0 fade in and 0 hold and the lights will not come on but if I add any amount or hold they will come on once they reach the fade out. What was extra weird was that no matter how many times I hit stop it will just continue going through the fade out sequence until it's done.
