I just bought Lightjams, and I am working through the videos. I am basically a complete noob.  I have had some success with my Generic RGB lights in 3 channel mode. However, I have been looking to see if anyone has a Lightjams profile for 
Yorkville LP-LED4X fixture.   It is an RGBW light bar with 4 lights.    I just want to use it in Mode 2, so that would be 4 intensity channels and 4 "colour" channels.

I added 8 dimmer attributes (8-bit) and renamed every second one as a colour attribute. However the Scene/Grid does not really recognize the Colour attribute. 

I am including the manual. Does anyone know what I should choose as the correct attribute for colour? 

Kind of at a loss. Any help is appreciated. 

manual and my file is attached

Thanks

Hi,

The most interesting mode is the 20 channels mode (mode 3). The mode 2 only gives you access to a few predefined colors while the mode 3 with 20 channels, give you access to the full RGBW color mixing. Open this project file to get the fixture template. Then make sure to configure your fixture to be in mode 3 (dip switch #11 set to ON).

Hi Mathieu:    Thank you so much!  You are right, Mode 3 is going to give me more flexibility and options. 

I really appreciate all you do here.

Hi :    Just wondering if anyone has ever encountered this, and what they did to fix it. 
Somehow Lightjams does not recognize the Yorkville Fixture that Mathieu created in the attached file here  (yorkville - LP-LED 4X.ljp). Following Mathieu's instructions, I downloaded the file again and opened it, but the entry

under the folder 'Yorkville' is missing and of course the fixture entry   LP-LED 4X in the Fixture section. Opening other projects where I had been using that fixture, does not fix it. It just does not show up. 

I have been using the fixture yorkville LP LED 4X without issue for a few weeks since Mathieu uploaded it. 

If I open the attached file in notepad, I can see the entry for Yorkville, but it does not show up on the screen and I cant add the patch to a grid. 

any help would be appreciated. 

thanks

Mathieu

Hi David,

I'd really like to reproduce this bug here! Meanwhile, you can try deleting the fixtures.index file located in C:\ProgramData\Lightjams\Fixtures. The directory may be hidden, so paste it directly in the File Explorer address bar. Then restart Lightjams.
