Support multiple Adalight devices

[Simonv92]

Hi,
Does this program works with multiple screen setup?
Thank you!
Simone

In general, yes. You'll have to provide more details for a more precise answer. Which OS, how many screens, which arrangement?

I have Windows 10 and two Monitors with two times Adalight + Arduino Nano
one for Gaming one for Movies with different LED Setups.
Proplem is the Profiles don't change the SerialPort (COM3 & COM4)
so I must everytime switch the main.conf .
I use Prismatik (unofficial) 5.11.2.19 with added NvFBC support :P
Running two different Instances at the same time also dont work respectively they use the same config.
Is it possible to implement support for more Adalights?

with best regards Toni

any solution to have two screens? I have my PC monitor and the TV

If you have two Devices plugged in
You must run the Configuration Wizard to Change the COM port
or edit it in the C:\Users\User\Prismatik\main.conf

When I want to change my monitor
I have two different main.conf saved in subfolders.
I swap the main.conf with the according to the monitor.
Restart the Programm and change the Profile for the monitor.

The Device settings should stored and changed with the Profiles.

I also looking forward to using my multiple monitor setup with their adalight setup.

I was able to run two instances via shift+right click "Run as different user" on Windows 10 2004 but somehow it's not working now. When I try to run second instances on a different user, main prismatik user detail in task manager changes to another user. So there aren't two instances at the same time with this method now.

I don't use a multi monitor setup, but multiple instances for multiple devices / configs would be great.

Hey buddy, great to see someone is here to improve Prismatik.

I also wanted to ask if you can enable Prismatik for multiple devices! I would donate you straight cash if you do so! @psieg

Im missing this feature for years. I use Ambibox on main screen and prismatik on second. But I got a 3 screen setup - and I hate one screen beeing dark.

(Config: LPD8806 Stripes behind all Screens with 88 LED Each / 3x Arduino uno / Ambibox on Main screen / Prismatik on Second / Third screen remains dark because unsupported yet)

Best Regards from Germany!

It's not obvious to me whether it would be better to be able to run multiple instances at the same time with different devices or be able to merge multiple devices into one. This is implemented for the original Lightpack hardware.

Multiple instances sounds inefficient, the advantage would be running different things (e.g. capture one one vs moodlight on the other). Is that something anyone here would want to do (rather than treating their 3 devices as one?)

Mh maybe Multiple instances is easier to Develop. E.g you have different Monitors with other resolutions one 4:3 and so on. Also on modern Hardware where you have multiple Cores that won't be a problem?

Hey there, I'm a pretty long term Ambilight user meanwhile and from my POV it would be a lot simpler to just modify it to be able to run several instances with several unique config files. Actually till a certain windows update you could bypass it and were already able to run 2 instances of it. So its capable of it just needs some minor tweaks. Also in regards of usability and bugfixing sw/hw it would be great to have it separated. Thank you for looking into the issue ! Im dreaming about multi monitor capability since I build my first ambilight :)

try re-running wizard on todays release to see if it fits some of your needs
