Is it possible to use a spread of 16 colours on one EN16 encoder, ie cc output value 0-7 blue, 8-15 purple, 16-23 green etc?
What would be the best way to approach this?
Hi!
best approach now would be to hold the rgb colors in a global table and make a function which calls the right LED color. The current character limitation might be tricky to tackle, but here is some pseudo code to help you.
Global table for 16 colors:
clr = {{0,100,200},{200,50,10}, etc...}
The function:
function getClr(in)
local index = in // 16
-- i'm not sure if +1 is needed, but lua tables are referenced with 1 as starting index
return clr[index + 1]
end
The above function and table can be put under system events. Then on a control element you can add a code block or put this in the Locals action block…
local c = getClr(self:encoder_value())
Add a Color action block (or call it by function) and use the R,G,B values of the getClr function.
led_color(self:element_index(), 2, c[1],c[2],c[3] )
The intensity should be set to 100 on layer 2 to make your changes visible.
Thanks 
Looks like I’m studying lua code today!

Hello kertikristof,
go my first EN16 a few days ago and have been trying to do the same thing, change led colors with incoing cc values.
I have suceeded to do it on an element, but as soon as i add the code to more they stop functioning.
i understand its most probaby a scope thing… but for the life of me i cannot see what i am doing wrong..
.
.
here is my code in the setup tab:
--the rgb table
self.clr = { { 0, 0, 0 }, { 0, 0, 64 }, { 0, 0, 255 }, { 0, 64, 64 }, { 0, 128, 128 }, { 0, 128, 64 }, { 0, 128, 0 }, { 0, 255, 0 }, { 64, 64, 0 }, { 128, 128, 0 }, { 100, 50, 0 }, { 200, 64, 0 }, { 100, 0, 0 }, { 255, 0, 0 }, { 128, 0, 128 } }
--the funciion that gets the rgb values and puts them in the respective parameters
function self.getSet(i)
local index = i
local c = self.clr[index]
print(i, c[1], c[2], c[3])
self.r = c[1]
self.g = c[2]
self.b = c[3]
end
.
.
and the code in the encoder tab:
self.cc = 2 --the cc number of the element
self.r, self.g, self.b = 255, 0, 155 --rgb init values
self.midirx_cb = function(self, header, event)
local ch, msg, p1, p2 = event[1], event[2], event[3], event[4]
local g = self.getSet
if header[1] == 13 and ch == 0 and msg == 176 and p1 == self.cc then
if p2 == 0 then
g(1)
elseif p2 >= 1 and p2 < 10 then
g(2)
elseif p2 >= 10 and p2 < 20 then
g(3)
elseif p2 >= 20 and p2 < 30 then
g(4)
elseif p2 >= 30 and p2 < 40 then
g(5)
elseif p2 >= 40 and p2 < 50 then
g(6)
elseif p2 >= 50 and p2 < 60 then
g(7)
elseif p2 >= 60 and p2 < 70 then
g(8)
elseif p2 >= 70 and p2 < 80 then
g(9)
elseif p2 >= 80 and p2 < 90 then
g(10)
elseif p2 >= 90 and p2 < 100 then
g(11)
elseif p2 >= 100 and p2 < 110 then
g(12)
elseif p2 >= 110 and p2 < 120 then
g(13)
elseif p2 >= 120 and p2 < 127 then
g(14)
elseif p2 == 127 then
g(15)
end
self:led_color(-1, { { self.r, self.g, self.b, 0.5 } })
self:led_value(-1, 255)
end
end
.
.
please help!! thanks
