Programming Colors in Vixen

[abell]

So I need to check for understanding... Lets pretend I have a SSC with only three channels (1 node).
.
Channel 1: Green
Channel 2: Red
Channel 3: Blue

I want a purple light so I need to put Channel 2 and 3 on... I then want the color change.

So yellow would be... Red (0-255) = 200 and green would be equal to 200, blue would be off...

Is that how we think when we program this whole thing? Is there a plugin I overlooked?

As I recall there is an RGB add-in for Vixen that will let you pick colors and select the location to put it and it will set the values.

you could use something like You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

pick and color and read the bottom three RGB values.

If you many RGB nodes (like a megatree or matrix) you could use xLights/Nutcracker to pick the colors for you.

Color picker is a nice app, but the LEDs don't always match.

Rick wrote a color finder program (its on the wiki), that will help you to find the right mix for the colors you want by sending data to the actual smartstring...

For reasons mentioned above I use Rick's color program.  The online color charts are good starting points.

If your SSC is programmed correctly, channel 1 will be red; 2 will be green; 3 blue.

Purples can be tricky because they can look pink/magenta.  One of the people's I use is:
R 135
G 0
B 255

Good luck!
