Waffle or static feeder

[spiyda]

I'm trying to set up a very simple feeder

It is strips of a reel of LEDs too wide to fit any of my feeders ( about 1 inch wide)

the component pitch is 12mm and the strip I can mount is about 20 units long..

I can't seem to find the documentation on how to set these up..
I've had a play but don't seem to be making progress... 

Any tips ?

In RV Setup, create & save a feeder type, passive with the  pitch and #slots required.
Then create & save an instance of that feeder.
Add that feeder to the job, and place it in a centre location
Fill the first slot with the part.
I'm not sure of the "official" way to fill the rest of the slots, which is why I made my "fillfeeder" utility which will copy the first slot to the rest ( need to exit RV Setup to use this)

In the part cdf, select "lock X" and "Lock Y", which stops it adjusting the pick position based on vision results

I've noticed that for some reason you sometimes see duplicate feeders after adding passive types, not sure why this happens, and I don't do it often enough to remember if this causes issues, but it usually works out OK.
