Ah okay great so those settings are just for the preview. Glad it doesn't affect the actual performance of the lights. Thanks, -Russ

There is an AC Lights toolbar in xLights that presents a lot of the stuff you find in other sequencers. It is found under "View". Several videos...

you pretty much treat each pixel as a self contained entity. A pixel typically drives a SINGLE tricolor LED (sequencers do not care how many LEDs are...

Thanks I'll take a look at your example. I think the big difference I see between the two vixen and xlights is vixen lets you know what things will...

Thanks Martin for the help! My issue was my .fseq file was compressed. For others who find this and have this issue... In xLights -> File ->...

Hi Brett, I started with a fully AC show several years ago using Vixen 2.1. That system was based on turning each channel on/off/dimming by a set...

The V4 software can also do this. However, instead of using the position on the file system to determine order, you create a playlist file and...

Many of these issues have debug info that comes out of the serial port. If you have V3 hardware then all you need is a USB cable connected to the MCU...

I use shingle clips every time I decorate the house and never had a problem with this. Last year I made a Santa Clause face on the roof, and they...

Love to come down, but border is still closed

Perfect. Thank You.

Thanks for trying this. I have sent you an address to which you can send a copy of your file so I can try to debug your issue. You do need to ensure...

Still good info if nobody is getting rid of their show this off season! I appreciate it.

I'm having a hard time getting this working... If I set my Second input mode to Effects, and my First output mode to WS2811, I can get effects to...

I didn't realize that was an inherent condition of e1.31. Same issue when FPP is turned on. And yes, disabling source 1 input allows Alexa to...

Yep! Never-Seez!

The Pacific NW CLAP "Mini" is open to all who are interested. The date is Sat May 1st. Set up and Pizza Meet/Greet is on Friday the 30th. We will be...

If you configured it to look for E1.31 then it will process E1.31 data. You have the option of selecting "just" one data source.

hmm...good point. If using Alexa configuration, I wouldn't think it should be looking for e1.31 inputs.

When you configure multiple inputs, things can get "Odd". E1.31 will override the secondary data sources, but once E1.31 stops it goes back to the...

V4 is good stuff, but running Vixen 3 with V3 Hardware being controlled with V4 (Travis) software and Alexa has issues. like running FPP and using...

Try lithium grease or never seize !

I have also tried to use light weight oil to the threads, however it never worked out!
