for an interactive art installation i have a huge display of light. The light are controlled by a Pixlite and i've got no problem to communicate with them.

However the setting is a little special, the mapping is set in ''S'' shape. Which mean i have to invert my value each 2 columns and i'm not really sure how i can do that.

I use a multislider in order to format my data for the artnet controller.

The only solution i see is to mix two matrix into one to get the adequat format but i'm not sure that is the right solution.

It you have any idea on how to do it, that'll be great.

After a little thinking, i trying to reorder the data to get them in the correct way for the mapping.

I use zl.iter to cut the list in little list to reorder.

My objective is to reorder each 2* list and recompose my list in order to send it to artnet .

I don't know if there any other way to do it and kind of struggle with reordering the list.

If you have any idea how to make it simpler or easier.

I dont have much experience using jitter, and certainly list processing has been a headache for me lately, so not much help here.

But i used the pixlite for some installations, together with madmapper, which is a really nice piece of software for pixel-mapping. It can be fed with syphon textures, so maybe you can generate graphics in max and send to madmapper via syphon, and let madmapper take care of the mapping of pixels (there's many features for pixel ordering).

Another solution could be messing around with the pixlite configuration software. As far as i can remember, although i'm not sure, there are some pixel ordering features. Maybe you are lucky and can forget about programming weird stuff and let the hardware take care of it for you...

thanks for the tips, unfortunately i'm using a pc and not a mac so i can't use madmapper.

But i will definitely give it a try later on.

I will check if i can configurate the pixlite.

You just need to find this window.... i guess the revers switch will do the work...

Thanks for the tips i can fully configurate my pixlite.

However the reverse parameter doesn't the trick for my problem.

I think the zigzag parameter can be what i looking for but it doesn't anything.

So long the headache and welcome the fun.
