HLS Sequencer - Beta - Free to use

**JHinkle** · 05-15-2012, 05:29 PM

I added a Manual Test Mode.

Once you have setup your sequence for "Outputing" - you can enter a test mode.

While in "Test" mode - you can manually turn channels on/off - set the intensity and/or set the color of any channel/pixel.

This mode can be used to debug hardware, show wiring, etc.

Note: The Sequence is NOT running during this time - you manually control the channels.

I am sure that will be a big help during setup.

Thanks,

Thank you Joe !!

You are truly gifted .

Here is what Hls can do with Nutcracker effects .

If your just learning sequencing as i am , Joe has simplified the learning curve for Noobie users and veterans alike .

Give it a try .

I have extended my PixelPlane Capability.

PixelPlanes are what you use to display Nutcracker effects.

A Nutcracker effect can be:

1. Added to any location in the sequence.
2. Can be repositioned once placed.
3. Can be resized - shortened if required.
4. Can be deleted.
5. Can have a Fade IN - applied to the front end of the effect
6. Can have a Fade OUT - applied to the back end of the effect.

I also show you how to test pixels or light string without having to build a sequence.

Enjoy

Joe,

My greatest wish would be for a Mac OS X version, Intel platform only is fine. I'd give my left ... if there was one.

Maybe you and Matt, xlights, should talk about the tools he uses to be able to build the program on both OS's.

It would be heaven to see it.

Does HLS run under the WINonX http://www.winonx.com/

Joe, can you setup multiple pixelplanes? i.e multiple megatree and matrix type elements

**JHinkle** · 05-18-2012, 05:11 PM

The code is not written in dot net.

It is native mode c++.

Early on, I had a reply that someone with a Mac was able to execute it.

That's as much as I know about the MAC.

Sorry.

The design allows 5 different PixelPlanes.

That's VERY encouraging to hear. I love it when someone programs in real C++ instead of MS's DotNet blank a de blank, fill in your favorite condescending terms here, development environment.

What compiler and and development environment are you using?

I was going to ask if you had said that your were going to put HLS on SourceForge but then I remembered that Sean was the one that said that about Nutcracker.

BTW, I can always run it under parallels but native would be muck better.
