      Hi. I've just installed LEDSpicer on my machine to have lights on the cab flashing etc. I can't seem to find a way to 'chain' the animations together, so it plays one animation first (Say Serpentine for example) followed by another (Random) and then back to the first animation and so on.

      You can link animations together, in that if you have RGB lights, it'll play the serpentine AND the random pattern at the same time, but that's not what I'm after.

      Is anyone else using this software? The author seems to have gone cold on it and isn't answering any of my questions.

      Thanks.

        I finished that feature weeks ago, now you can repeat short animations!
        The project is not cold, is just that I got no new ideas from users to implement, or new hardware, If someone request something (like this) that is kinda cool to have, I code it ASAP. also new hardware is welcome :)
        Most of the things I need are already completed and working (my box is running for 2 years without issues)

          @meduzapat I’m after the same thing. Can you explain how to do it for us noobs please?

          I want to do something like:

          • serpentine for 1minute (or repetitions if we can’t do time)
          • then pulse for 30 seconds
          • then filler for 1 minute
          • then pulse for 30 seconds
            And repeat the whole sequence indefinitely

          Is this possible?

          Thanks again for an awesome app!

            @twistedpixels sorry for the late answer, yes, you need to do something like this:
            set serpentine to run for 60 seconds (endTime="60")
            then set filler to run for 30 seconds but start after 60 seconds (startTime="60" endTime="30")
            then set pulse to start after 90 seconds and run for 60 (startTime="90" endTime="30")

            I think they will repeat, but let me know if not!
