Color changer for cv1 stage lights

[ruby igloo]

Been waiting for stage lights v2 for so long 😢

[uneven silo]

If there was cv2 stage lights, I probably wouldn't need help for color changers. But since its cv1, I need bad help

[ruby igloo]

Yea, if you really want to make them better i suggest using studio

With volumetric light

and studio events and stuff

[uneven silo]

I don't have sudio

[quiet oar]

Stagelights V2 are in Room2. Which yeah, its basically like there isnt a stagelight v2 since rooms 2 is so terrible tho

[ruby igloo]

Real

I've been waiting forever for stage lights v2 tho for a lot of my games

I gave up on waiting tho and just use studio now

:/

[quiet oar]

ye, funny thing is, they said it would be rooms 1 & 2. The staff who said so was probably just misinformed, otherwise they just flat out lied

[ruby igloo]

:/

[quiet oar]

but ye since u dont have studio, which isnt all that great either (just made a unity interface instead improving actual in game creation), You'll have to go with cv1

what was the intended behaviour though, just cycling colors isnt too hard, anything else is bit more annoying tho

also i have work so i cant really help, but this info is needed for those who can help

[uneven silo]

I know how to hook up the stage lights to where they are flashing and are in a pattern, I'm just stuck on changing the color of them. My friend who used to do it quit and I can't get a hold of him

[quiet oar]

oh like u have patterns, but you want colors with each step of the pattern to be set directly?

[uneven silo]

No like, I have them going in a back and forth flashing pattern and I want them to be two different colors

It's kinda hard to explain

[quiet oar]

thats what i meant. The color is given

[uneven silo]

Yea basically

I hit a button, and the color of it changes

[quiet oar]

well u just have a state machine right

[uneven silo]

Yea

[quiet oar]

like u only want color to swap from either of 2 colors when pressed a button?

[uneven silo]

So, I have a set of stagelights that are flashing, and when I press a button it changes the color of the stagelight to the color that I set the button too

I should've put it in that way

[quiet oar]

so u have a button for each color, when pressed, all lights are set to the color associated with the button

[uneven silo]

Yes

[quiet oar]

& u just have 2 button-color pairs in mind. Not like anymore in the future

[uneven silo]

Wdym?

[quiet oar]

like only 2 buttons for the 2 colors, no more than 2 right?

[uneven silo]

I was thinking more than two, but I think two would be fine

[quiet oar]

ah, so you were saying 2 because you think you would get it on your own after seeing the solution for 2

[uneven silo]

Basically yea

[quiet oar]

ok, well now others know what you want

also to save ink, might i suggest u have button to change the color, then a button to set the color of lights to that 'selected' color? Than u can have more colors, but 2 buttons to choose any of the colors & update

im off break now, so ima go

[ruby igloo]

I have this map where basically like 10 blocks are there with 10 diff colors and when u put ur hand in it it changes colors

i can maybe check that map in a bit and see how it was done

if u want

@uneven silo ^

[uneven silo]

If you feel like going out of your way to doing that, that would be very appreciated

[ruby igloo]

yea just wait like 15 days

i'm banned

or ask someone else

😭🙏

[uneven silo]

Okay

Just @ me

[ruby igloo]

ok

[uneven silo]

I'll let you know if someone else helps me and I got what I was asking for, or if I figure it out.

[ruby igloo]

ok

[quiet oar]

Even better, 1 button. 1 press will cycle/change the color, 2 will set the color
ill get the colors now n such

[quiet oar]

@uneven silo
done

[uneven silo]

That's amazing bro, I'll try to copy and get it down here in a little bit

[quiet oar]

yee np :3
also using a state machine for the list might be a lil more convenient

The selctor is configured to indices (compare values) 0 to 6, then the selector pin is the random chip (index) & the signal it ouputs is just 1
Then each state is a item, just configure the R to your color for each, then wire the states in a loop as u would, with the selector controlling the state progression

[uneven silo]

I'll try to understand that and it gets all down 🙏

[quiet oar]

yee, sucks the wires are straight so its really hard to follow

but ye, state machine should be less chips = less ink. & you expand by 6 items at a time because of the selector 👌

[uneven silo]

Alright, I'll try to get it down either later tonight or tomorrow. I'll let you know if I run into any problems. Thank you

[quiet oar]

yee

[uneven silo]

So I've tried doing this and for some reason it's not working, I know I have the chips set up and I think I have them all wired to the right place, but it's not working

I don't want to push your buttons or anything but could you maybe help me in game?

Obviously you don't have too, but I just figured I ask and maybe I could show you what I want it terms of color changers?

[quiet oar]

ye, wouldnt blame after the straight wire. Im going work tho, so

[uneven silo]

Yea just let me know when your able to get on

[quiet oar]

ok

[dry tulip]

make sure the last state is connecting back to the first! I'd always forget to do that back then

[quiet oar]

@uneven silo
heres a diagram btw, should help.

minor chip inaccuracies but i think you'll get it

[uneven silo]

I'll try it out

[quiet oar]

alr

[quiet oar]

On lunch, so made a correction. Then & Else are on their multiply, not just then

[uneven silo]

So I tried doing it multiple times and it's still not working, i tried it in my dorm and the room I want it in, I don't know if I'm not doing it right or if something is wrong.

Here's a video of what my friend made a long time ago, this is what I'm wanting. I don't have communication to get to him though which is sad.

I thought it would make better since it I showed you

But

I don't know why it's not working

[uneven silo]

The spotlight isn't even changing colors

[quiet oar]

i dose here 🤷‍♀️

u gotta do it exactly like that, mine dosent show colors in any order, just the single order where it loops around

but ye, a color selector for both colors, which i did forgot the swapping between the two. This is just a color selector & setter by itself. u would need to clone it, then have your other circuit that swaps colors swap between the 2 random chips that get set when button pressed more than once before the delay

off lunch now

[quiet oar]

@uneven silo
got home
remaking this, it infact dosent work
Im no cv1 expert *in fact my only true experience was back in 2020 following a sliding up & down door tutorial * but i suspect since the order is not explicit like Cv2, the CONECTION of wire order, might be what defines the order. AKA, the order u wire things in is crucial to match in order to get it working?

perhaps purely state machines will be more stable/not matter so much?

[uneven silo]

So is this the thing I should try to do?

[quiet oar]

i also made the text overlap the button in a way that makes it look like its changing color the button

[quiet oar]

probaly, cv1 is very bad. So if this dont work, joining u in game might have to be the next option. Not to mention its no longer supported, so prob just been buggy too

[uneven silo]

Alright, I'll try it. I'll let you know what happens

[quiet oar]

ye. State machines so straightforward so its not as fullfilling puting it together as my previous solution, but its less chips = less ink 🥲

so a improvement anyways

i also generally expect this to be buggy as multi function buttons like this is prob pushing it since cv1 is definitely aimed at being for simple things

[uneven silo]

I have to be doing something wrong

It's either the way I'm hooking it up to the lights or its the thing itself

[quiet oar]

i mean the single & multi press state machine hard to folliw with the mostly straight & transparent 'wires' but ye

[uneven silo]

I don't know what to do

I have to have this by the 31st, I can try making my own but that's near impossible because I don't know cv1 that well

[quiet oar]

ye but i could come in game tho

[uneven silo]

If you could, that would be amazing. I think I'm just hooking it up wrong

[quiet oar]

ye

[uneven silo]

Or it's something to do with my lights

[uneven silo]

When are you wanting to get on?

[quiet oar]

ye, well @Official_T55sArt
ima be off work in ~3 hours

[quiet oar]

^
slow reply cus had talk co workers

[uneven silo]
