Adavision Software: PixelController

Post by michu »

Hey Guys

I just released PixelController v1.3 BETA - a Led Matrix controlling software that also supports Adavision.

Src: https://github.com/neophob/PixelController/downloads

as I dont own a Adavision Panel, it would be great if someone could test it!

Here is a screenshot, how PixelController looks like:

One question...

Can I use the same config.properties from the previous version? In other words, just copy-replace the one in the BETA folder with the one from 1.2.0 or whatever the previous version was?

Michu,

After some testing, the program does work, but not quite as flawlessly as the previous version.
For example, the crossfade transition produces some rather funny looking still images of the new animation as the two animations swap. I also couldn't get the threshold to work on the new GUI you've made. It's rather confusing having so many controls in two places as you have the old interface load just the same as it used to, and the new one just comes up on top of it.

The tint function is also rather finicky as you have the same controls as before, but new color presets with the new GUI. How can one change the colors to something they prefer instead of using these presets?

I'm also having quite a bit of trouble trying to get it to work with the TouchOSC app on my android tablet. I can't seem to get communications established and am not sure where to input the tablets host address within PixelController.

Anyhow, still an awesome program. I hope this helps! And any help with the OSC control would be much appreciated!
