I am new to the ezb revolution. I have the EZB4 up and running and connects to network fine but when i set up the animations for the rgb leds and execute it with all frames transistions on 0 and saved all leds work fine but they just crawl very slowly. just recieved the rgb led unit today, so dont know if its defective. or if default settings are wrong, or if i did something wrong setting it up but I followed instruction video very carefully by pausing as each step was shown. several timesI re set it up to the same thing happening.any one have any idea? what i can do? to speed them up? by the way camera works at normal speed and battery full speed wireless adapter is 300 bpms. continous rotation servos work also work at full speed so EZB4 seems to work fine on every thing else ,but the rgb leds are slow. i have nothing else for sensors right now to test, i2c ports for speed and have tried all 3 with same results. please help? thank you!
Please post your project so I can take a look and provide instructions for what you're attempting to achieve
After several trys yesterday. I uninstalled old version of ARC and all traces I could find, including projects. Reinstalled newest version Downloaded yesterday. So I have started over. So no servos yet on this one. Only camera and RGB leds. And still leds move about 2 seconds to full brightness before changing to next transistion. Thank You So Much! for getting back to me so quickly. Hope You can find what I did wrong, or whatever is wrong with it. And Thanks again! Frank.EZB
You have 1000ms as your "pause" and "transition" times.... Have you tried reducing it to 500ms for both and see if it speeds things up?.... How about 250ms?
Just tested your project.... reducing all the pause and transition times on all of your frames will speed things up... I used 200ms on each of the frames....
Thank You so much for replying to my post! Yes have tried even 0ms on both, on all frames, but not 500 or 250 or 200, but other numbers. Did your unit work ok on 200ms on my project when you tryed? I Will try that and see If it helps. So Far only snag I have run Into. This EZ- Revolution Is SO AWSOME! Can`t Wait Till I get My project finnished. And Thanks again for your response so quickly! I will try that, and see what happens. And let you Know If any changes in speed shortly.
Yep got it to work fine using 200ms on pause and transitions on all of the frames.... really sped up your animation significantly.... Just to clarify, you have to do this for every frame and click save...
Thank You So Much ! So This Is What I just Did. I started Ezb4 Connected to network, Opened ARC , connected to ezb4. Then Opened my project, clicked on My nimations Then clicked on settings in reg led control panel , then highlighlighted my animations .then frame by frame set both ms on 200 , went to bottom left corner of panel and pushed save button. thenhighlighted my animations, then executed my animations and same thing. went to settings, My animations and every frame was back to 1000ms on both transitions.maybe I am doing something wrong because it does not seem to save my settings. same yesterday with both versions of builder.Thats why i went step by step this time. the file I uploaded this morning when i saved the project, i had all frames set on 0ms on both transitions. but when i checked after file was uploaded and tryed this time. before i changed settings this time. And as you said, every frame was back to 1000 on both transistions. what i am doing seems to be as the video. but i must be doing something wrong as it doesn`t seem to save settings long enough to even execute it correctly. Any suggestions? Thanks Again! Seems Like I Must have got Real dumb in the last few days lol!, or maybe going cenile at my age? lol jut kidding! probably just missing the most obvious small thing right in front of my face.lol!Anyway You Guys are Awsome ! And Thanks again will try anything to get it to save my settings. and I Know I Keep Saying thanks , for the help! but I am not used in recieving help much. used to doings on my own and helping others all i can . But Some times I just Do things without thinking and mess up. like once I made a coffee, set my hammer down on counter, made my coffee, thought I put milk in fridge lol! two hours later after looking for hammer. I noticed the milk out, and opened fridge and theres my hammer on the shelf! I laughed for Days and still do when i think about it. Thinking about the stuppidest split second brain cramp in my history. Sure makes ya feel sheepish and real stupid! when ya know better, but just impulse stupidity lol! LOL! Sorry will stick to subject from now on . Just thought someone might like a good laugh! Ha Ha! But True story anyway!
Ha, Ha.... hammer in the fridge LOL.... Everyone does stuff like that once in a while
.... I know it's a pain, but maybe start a new project and do the RGB animator control again from scratch... Something is a miss... Good news is, I highly doubt there is anything wrong with your RGB animator.... It definitely did work for me so if you get it to save with 200ms on pause and transition you should be golden.....
