Title: programming a spiral tree.
Post by: Tigman009 on November 12, 2016, 06:34:25 pm
I just built my first spiral tree and can't seem to get the right effect of a spiral. I have tried ramp down and on. I am hoping someone can get me a screen shot of what it should look like.
I am running 16 channels and may go to 32 for white red green
Thanks

ok, I'm assuming you have strings on your tree mounted in a spiral.

What effect do you want to do?   as in what do you want it to look like?

I want to do the two spiral, the opposite spiral, and just make it look good like all of the ones on youtube. I think I may have built the tree wrong but this is my third attempt. I am running a single strand of 50. Right now there are only 8 strands on the tree. Still need to add the other 8. The tree is 6 feet tall with a base around 4 ft.

I've never built a spiral tree, but from the looks of the green wires. It looks like it's in a perfect spot.

I thought you were asking how to sequence it in the software.

Here's what mine looks like in HLS. My tree is 16 100 light strings wrapped twice...10 feet tall.

Thanks Dan that is what I was looking for. I didn't have my timing that tight.

Thank you Thank you Thank you. After many frustrating hours of trying to figure it out myself, with Dan's screen shot my spiral tree is now spiraling. Yea
