Hi fellow locked-down MM's wherever you may be, so here's what I'm trying to do...

I'd like to wrap an led stripe round into a circle (totalling 30 pixels round) and after reading this "LED circle" post

viewtopic.php?f=20&t=10132&p=31044&hili ... res#p31044

I tried creating this fixture [attached]

But when i view the "Line Patterns" material playing through this circle fixture it plays across it from left to right, top AND bottom... but i'd like it to play and display around it, from pixel 1 to 90

Any help much appreciated

Cheers, Mr J

p.s. am using MM 4 beta 9

Perhaps using LED Scanner might help me here? Can it scan an LED strip curled into a circle?

LED scanner is fine but not if you have hundreds of pixels. We've been working on a circle DMX fixture that should be integrated in next MadMapper 4.0 beta version. Coming soon

you'll be happy to know that we've added circular fixtures in madmapper 4.
the feature is in beta 10, which will be out very soon.

cheers, looking forward to trying it out

Tested this with MadMapper 4.0.0 Beta 10.
Worked like a charm...

So i've been playing with circular fixtures but the only way i can get pixels to go "around" the circle is by playing circular material. I'd like to play line material that as it moves across the screen moves all the way around a circular fixture from beginning to end and not across the circle from left to right. Is this possible?

Cheers, Mr J

have just figured it out... created a line surface and then added a circle to it (screenshot attached)

works a dream and am now a very happy chappy

rgds, Mr J
