Issue with Controller Visualizer and Smart Receivers #4800

Closed ZacharyCloutier closed 1 month ago

ZacharyCloutier commented 2 months ago

I am having a problem with the controller visualizer where if you have a prop that starts on a smart receiver it doesn't cascade to the next receiver correctly.

For example, you have a 4 port prop that starts on 2b of a 8 port smart receiver instead of port 4 of the prop going on port 1a of the next receiver it goes to 1b.

Try right click on first string and cascade down ports

Like this? That doesn't work. Just a note I am using a Genius Long Range Controller. image

Yeah... that won't work. Once set to B, it will not wrap to A on the next port. Youc an cascade down from B->C and back to B if you have more strings, but it won't wrap B->C->A->B.

Yes, that is what I figured out but it should if it is moving to a new receiver it should start at A. I can cascade the remotes but it won't ever go from B->A or C->A etc it always starts at what the first sting is set to and that should not be the desired behavior it should always start at the first available so in this case A .

did you set the cascade length under the "Cascaded Remotes" section?

ZacharyCloutier commented 2 months ago

Doing that makes it go to a C receiver I want it to go to a on the next port. So for this example I want what is on port 5B to go to 5A.

As Alex said, that would be non-continuous strings which is not supported.
