Kind of a pain to troubleshoot dmx devices in fpp

I'd like to see a 16 channel slider in display testing for testing dmx devices. Just select the start channel.

Using the single channel but you have to constantly change the start channel

I'm looking for something in FPP, so when I'm outside I can test from my phone.

Why a 16 ch slider? Each DMX universe has 512 channels and each receives a value between 0-255

Most moving heads or dmx effects have no more than 16 channels. The idea is to test one device at a time.  Yahoo Mail: Search, Organize, Conquer On Mon, Nov 4, 2024 at 16:10, Stuart ***@***.***> wrote: Why a 16 ch slider?

I would vote for maybe 32 channel slider if this is implemented, maybe even like a tabbed item with 16 per tab?? I can see the value in this request but I would not limit it to just 16 channels. 512 would be tons of sliders. I do have some 30ch dumb rgb dmx devices and some of the newer moving heads like the Phoenix Ray Max are 20 channel.

That's fair. I think the tabbed approach would be good. Maybe even go to 48 channels in 3 tabs.

FPP developers discussed this, there is long term desire to redo the testing page to have tabs and perhaps implement fader based testing etc.

This is wonderful to hear. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.
