L.E.D. Lab

I spent over ten hours trying to wrap my head around how this app works. It has a strange help system that is context specific, so you cannot read the help information outside of the context of the various modal environments. Additionally, due to a bug in the help system, it took me a while to discover that some help pages spanned beyond what was shown. The developer insisted it wasn't a bug... which contributed to me giving up and requesting a refund (which was immediately granted). I suspect the program is quite useful… if you can figure out how to use it. As he has not released a version since I reported the bug: To get around the help system bug, click on another help topic and then click back to the topic you want to view - the ability to scroll will then be available. The developer insisted that I didn’t know how iPads/Macs work instead of investigating my detailed description of the bug, which I found off putting as I worked with Apple prior to the Mac release in 1984 (including pre-release hardware) and have used Macs etc ever since then.

Any suggestions on how to interface with LED Matrix panels that use the HUB75 interface? I’m currently using both a Teensy microcontroller with SmartMatrix and a Raspberry Pi with an Adafruit LED matrix shield and would like to drive it from the LED Lab app.

This is NOT a simple program - it will take no small amount of trial and error to get things set up the way you want them - but once you've got it set up, it's an AMAZINGLY rich and flexible resource. I've used it with a Fadecandy-based Neopixel matrix as well as with RasPi-based HU75 matrices (both emulating PixelPushers), and it's been great with both. (And in addition to that, the author was very helpful via email in working out specific settings tweaks to get me up and running.)

Hello. I just bought the Music add on and am unclear on a few things: 1) I can see how I can export Scenes as a way to back them up/transfer between devices. Is there a way to do the same with Track listings and the Scenes synced to them? 2) I can set up Tracks and Scenes, but when I play, I never get audio. How do you enable audio to play? I’m using an iPad Pro 11” on iOS 12.3.1 Is there a better way to get product support? I couldn’t find one on the website. Thanks!

I have used this app and pixel pusher hardware for years and it just keeps getting better. Every time I think to myself... “I wish I could do______ with my light installation” I find a new menu or an update that expands the already impressive capability of this app. So much thought and attention to detail keeps me inspired and pushing my creativity. Chris has also promptly responded to countless emails to help me in the darkest times to get me back on track. Steep yet intuitive learning curve but the more time you spend with the app the more you realize just how powerful it is.

App works great. I wish there was a way to program color better than just a wheel. I also wish the iPhone version had more controls. But over all solid app.

I have been using the software with my PixelPusher since 2015. I left my unit hardware sit for a couple years and when I tried to get it working again with L.E.D. Lab I ran into problems. Christopher gave me great support in helping me get the hardware up and running. Now the software works like a charm. Love it when you deal with real pro's.

After your last update both my pixel pushers stopped working. The app just crashes and I have tried resetting everything. Not sure what changed but please fix so this works again! Amazing app when it works. ~~~~ Revised 2017-12-13 Chris updated this bug along time ago and was incredibly responsive during the time the app without function. Led labs is a top notch app!

We purchased led labs for a large scale lighting project and have been very happy with this piece of software. It's fast, incredibly customizable and the developer is very responsive when we have run into any issues and assisted us with troubleshooting. The price to get all of the features is high, but I think it's well worth it given the quality of the app and the support you get. Thanks. I look forward to using led labs again for future light projects.

The software is good for what it does but the pricing structure is just a cash grab. Will cost you almost $200 (!!) for the full package. That is ridiculous and the author should be ashamed.
