  • Test
  • Play with iColor Cove NXT fixtures. It’s 6 inches long with 45 LEDs. It can be color mixing with red, green, and blue leds.
  • First time reading the manual, I was confused by its instructions and no idea how to set the address correctly. It’s the fifth fixtures in the daisy chain, I want to set the address started at 41(Address 1 to 40 were used in the first four fixtures), but it didn’t work. 
  • And I need to use the physical dip switches of the fixture to address each led first but I could not find the sequence of address 41. So just try a number which on the table greater than 40. I tried to set the sequence of address 43 and send the DMX. (Ohh, it works finally!)
  • Last step was testing out how to control each color of LED individually in order to mix color. (I was surprised by the color of this little one. It looks pretty nice and bright.)
  • Bug
    1. “Unvalid value for channel ##” showed up on the console of Processing. But it seemed didn’t affect the LEDs.
