Page 26: Implementing A Digiled (186839) + Manual Configuration
IMPLEMENTING A DIGILED (186839) + MANUAL CONFIGURATION For scanning in the Digi LED 4CH please refer to the 3. Step of the manual until you reach figure 7 of the manual. Figure 26 After that you will see that channel 1-4 have already been recognized by the LiNA Connect App. - Page 27 Figure 27 As you probably already have mentioned, you can’t do an express setup here. Therefore you must create a Functional Group all by yourself! Here you must select, how many channels your modules have. In My case they are RGBW.
- Page 28 Figure 28 In the next step you must connect every channel of the DigiLED (R, G, B, W) to every channel of the Functional Group (also applicable for other systems). Figure 29 Now we configure our scenes as we did for a simple configuration (Figure 10-12). For the DigiLED you have the option to either use the channel overview or change the type of the scene and use...
- Page 29 RGBW directly, this could make the selection of colours easier. Which should look something like this: Figure 30 If you configured every scene you like, go back to Figure 16 and onward to move on.
