I cant figure this out

 

i have my ledwiz working fine with many tables.

 

under my cabinet is a RGB ledstrib wired to a 4-Channel 12V Relay Module http://www.ebay.nl/itm/231025446495

 

With the table Mediëval madness the rgb strip goes crazy, and the relays clicks like crazy, because it switches from colors.

 

How can i disable this strobing effect and just set it to 1 color? i dont know who to find this in the script

 

i tried the ledwiz config tool and editing the color of the undercab color but no change

 

i could easily remove the relay and just wire it directly to the 12v, but then its unsafe?

Put ON color and it will work, but the config is already fine, do you use dof? And direvtouputconfig.ini files?

I use directoutput framework

What do you mean with on color?

Example

With tales of the arabian night, undercab light goes yellow

With medieval madness it flashes between blue and red, and the relay clicks like crazy
I just want it to show red or something

If you want to eliminate relay clicking for RGB leds, consider using an RGB ampliflier. Compatible with LEDwiz as it draws less than 1 microamp from LEDwiz.

Regarding Medieval Madness color it's managed by the DOF directoutputconfig.ini file. Login to LEDwiz site, Click on Table Configs, Select Medieval Madness, RGB Undercab LEDs are set to "ON Purple". Looks like you LED/relay setup is trying to do purple (Red and Blue makes Purple). Change it to "ON Red" or "ON Blue" and download the new DirectOutput config file.

You can also manually modify the directoutputconfig.ini file, open the file, search for "mm". On that line, change "ON Purple" to "ON Red" or "ON Blue". Save the file.

Regarding the RGB amp, you just need one (it supports a Red, Green, Blue and 12V signal)

Ill try those amps, clicking with the white strobe is also annoying.

 

I bought 2 of them , one for the strip and 1 for the white strobe.

 

and the fix for just blue did the trick thank you very much, ill revert to Original when the amps are working

Did you buy these kind of amplifiers? http://i01.i.aliimg....s-DC12V-12A.jpg

 

They can be a bit tricky to solder if you didn't buy the extension. A tip is to pull down the white casing from both sides and solder onto the pads directly.

If you need some kind of help wiring check out this thread:

Sorry for the late reply, didn't see this until just now.

That would work, it's the same type I'm using for my cabinet. I've used 5 different ones since I'm running 5 different lengths of RGB strip as flashers. 125 SEK is kind of pricey though!

 

If you can find a real english seller on ebay.co.uk you're usually up for about 2-3 days of waiting until the items arrive. But do check their business information so it's really a UK seller if you don't want to wait.
