RGB Fading

Hi,

I've got a client with a RGB chandelier.

I'm using a CBus DMX controller to control the colours and have it set on an EDLT with the Red, Green, Blue sliders so the customer can adjust the percentages to make whichever colour they choose.

However they also now want to be able to press a button so it will fade through the colours at a set speed. As this can be done on a cheap LED kit you buy off Ebay I need to find a way to do it with CBus.

I'm guessing it needs logic to do and there's a Wiser 2 installed.

Please help!!

Thanks
Mike

 

I posted some logic to do HSV to RGB conversion some time ago.

All you have to do is change the H value while leaving the S and V constant. What I have done is have 2 sliders to set the S (saturation) and V (value or brightness) then change the H value in a 0 -359 loop. Because logic runs every 200mS, if you increment the H value each time it will cycle through all the colours about every 50 seconds. You can speed it up by incrementing by more than 1 each scan, but will will soon start to seem obvious jumps. To get smooth higher speed changes I ended up building my own hardware.
