RDM automatic adressing

Post by Exposurelighting » Thu Nov 21, 2024 2:47 pm

Hi

Maybe a nice little feature to have in RDM list is the ability to align the fixtures in order you want them to be like from Left to Right and then auto adres them, I've seen a different phone app do this.

it has 3 buttons on the bottom of the RDM list with Previous, Align and Next the RDM list is most of the time random and when you press next the Fixture wil do the RDM identify, if its the right fixture then press align and it wil put it at the top of the list then press next again till you see the next light in order appear, when done you press Done and it wil ask the starting adres, for exemple 1 if the fixture is a 16ch fixture it wil auto adres the next fixture to 17, and so on!

This would be amazing in my opinion!

hope you got the idea. if not i'm able to make a video of the other app and show it that way

I’m curious if this is a feature that is not needed or not easy to implement. For me it would save me a lot of time.

So curious if this is being talked about for a new feature

This is in our todo list for version 1.6.0 (v1.5.0 is in development right now)
Planned RDM Addressing view features:
- list of devices (label, model, address, mode, footprint) with sort options
- enable/disable identify, auto identify selected
- keypad shortcuts for address +1, -1, +footprint, -footprint
- change mode of all same model devices at the same time
- auto address all detected devices
- universe/channel view (show all discovered device footprints in universe channel grid to see any overlaps)

Hi Rihards

That’s a nice list of updates and improvements! Might wanna add one on the “auto address” part. Able to only auto adres the alligned fixtures only. For exemple the truss has one DMX line with 10 CLf heras. And in between those are 10 Robe Spiiders. I want to align the spiiders first from left to right address is so it counts the right numbers. And then the Hera’s from left to right. You kinda get where I’m coming from?
