Question: Color Change Buttons

[smokesurfer]

Hello,

firstly I want to say hello to the community and excuse myself for my bad english! (German writing ;) )

I've got the following question or wishes to realize:

For example I use some LED pars:

I'd like to create a scene where the first, third and fifth Par flash alternately to the second, fourth and sixth.

So I got this already, now the part wich is difficult for me:

I'd like to have buttons for example to change the first group in red, green or blue and some buttons to change the color of the second group independently.

I tried some switches but, they stay activated when I chose another one and if you check that the button should deactivate the others when switched on, then it turns the button of the other group off also.


I would be very happy if someone can help me with this!

Greetings from Germany!

Hi smokesurfer,

Welcome to the community, you're English seems very good to me!

What you want to achieve is possible, I've created a test show for you to try. The main switch which controls alternating flashing between 1,3,5 & 2,4,6 has been set to 'SUB subtract from the current level' in the switch settings. I have then created a series of other buttons to change the colour of the 2 sets. You can also override the whole thing using the colour mixing button if you wish.

The subtract setting inverts the effect though, so if you need your fixtures in a special order you will need to program them in the opposite order in the Main Switch.

Hope that helps.

Hello Benno,

first I'd like to say thank you for your answer and test show!

You helped me really!

So I've found a new phenomenom while testing the Show:

I choose one color for 2,4,6 and then one for 1,3,5.
I can change the color for 1,3,5 as often as I want, but as soon as I press one other button for color 2,4,6 the color for 1,3,5 gets also resetted.

Maybe you have a little trick for that also.

Greets,

Simon

Hello Simon,

Bens showfile is not correct. Sorry Ben!

@Simon
I left you an old and a new switch in the show file. Please have a look at them to see the fault.

A tip: Use the layer settings to customize and rearrange the software's look to your needs. I gave you a small suggestion in your showfile.
