Activity Stream

Slingshot and hi test fishing line. Just pull up into the tree as high as you can find a way. There are always "down sides" to any new ideas but...

What do you see as the difference in streaming versus sending packets? Streaming is just sending packets continuously. And are you differentiating...

Everything in Vixen expects pixel 1 to be the lower left so you want to stick with that. However your matrix can be physically wired however you...

sigh. I will retest this on Monday. It was working and there have not been any changes since then.

5v or 12v? I've got a couple of 5V Ren48LSD's in CG enclosures that I am not using.

This is an awesome idea, I just don't have a great way of doing it safely. Guess I need to buy a bigger ladder or rent a cherry picker or something.

That is very true.... I'd love to do a huge grid but since the house is 65' wide, that would be a loooot of lights (unless there's something I'm not...

Haha yeah, unfortunately this was the only video I could find of my house from this last year. I guess I forgot to record the actual shows I made. ...

Hmmm.... I'm running xLights 2021.09 and with FPP Connect I'm not able to add my Pixelstick running v4 firmware (in FPP Connect I click add, type in...

No.... FPP Connect can directly upload to the ESPixelSticks, no need to bounce it through FPP. If you bring up FPP Connect, it should be able to...

A long time ago, a very good teacher hammered into my head, "dark/black is a color. In fact, it should be the most used color in your scenes on the...

One other thought was I first tried switching to uncompressed with Tools-> Convert, before I found it in Preferences... If you need to get rid of the...

Dan, what's driving the removal of saving uncompressed files? As I understand your statement, in the future I would need to use FPP Connect to get...

This year my Tune to sign is 2.5x bigger and will be driven by an ESP32 with local SD card. This means my WiFi only has FPP sync packets and no E1.31.

Martin, You said what I meant and in a much better way. I didn't think the software mattered either. Since most transfer will be done on the SD...

You have a pretty loaded front yard display -- and the example was a test sequence? Couple thoughts for you: to make the mini-trees pop and be the...

Try this. https://falconchristmas.com/forum/index.php/topic,8988.15.html Tom Marshall did an excellent job putting this together.

It MIGHT be possible on the ESP32 things, but not on esp8266. There isn't enough memory on the esp8266 to hold the dictionaries and such that are...

I think you misunderstand. TODAY in xLights there is a mechanism to send a configuration AND fseq files to (among other things) an ESP. 'FPP Connect'...

Dan - Please tell us that FPP will still be able to use uncompressed files. Some of us use more/other than xLights to build our files and send them...

Hey Martin, Could the Espixelstick software detect compression on upload and uncompress for local use? This would keep the load off the CPU during...

A few thoughts on this comment: Compressed or not compressed does not matter even if the PI is playing the file to a local controller. When the...

thanks I have seen that but don't like how they implemented it cause it forces auto to the timing bars vs being able to drag and drop like others but...

I do not use xLights, I use Vixen. I do not use compression. Don't see the need for it. My hat is 512 pixels and the largest fseq has only been...

Just a remonder the Halloween/Christmas expo is in a couple weeks. Make sure you get your tickets now. Let me know if you'll be there. Adam

Okay but how do you configure the setup display? The colorlight panels do not have an IP address to direct it to. Normal I would setup a controller...

I think we need to be careful here. I am a vixen user and it looks like we are mixing terminology and wandering into the Nodes per node aka group...
