First, you need to change the nodemcu's to multicast, then set up your xlights as one output for your mega tree, then set each mcu, first one set number of pixels as 400, start channel 1, second mcu as 400 pixels start channel 1201. Then set your tree in layout as 180 tree, 16 strands 50 pixels per strand

1. Why is your xLight/Vixen/FPP Mapping says Channels 1 to 1530 for #1 and 1531 to 3060 on #2?
It should be "Channels 1 to 1200" for #1 and "Channels 1201 to 2401" for the #2 (400 pixels times 3 channels per pixel is 1200 channels. Not 1530 )

2. Please take a screenshot from ESPixelStick device setup.

My wiring is the same *2 , but I also have power injections.

Thanks,

hi thank you for the help,
1. xlights setup at start universe#1, # of universe is 3 that why is show 1-1530, and 1531 to 3060 is on #2, i left the default at 510 that why is 1530, if i change to 400 then is 1200 for #1 and 1202-2800 for #2

i have power injections at 100 pixel right now but when i get it to work i will do power injection at 50 pixel.

Output of the tree is not in order and missing pixels.

I try change nodemcu to multicast but didn't get anything from testing

hmm - I think maybe your individual start channel setting in Xlights for String 2 should be 1201 (assuming string 1 is channels 1-1200, string 2 channels 1201-2400). I use 16 individual strings, 1 string per strand, so i'm not certain if you also need to specify zig zag in the xlights pixel tree config, i don't see a setting for that, so maybe it will follow appropriately. However, your start channel for string 2 looks incorrect so that can definitely cause some problem.

[EMKLLK]

reading your post in more detail, perhaps in the Xlights tree setting you should set string 2 start channel to 1531 (i said 1201 assuming you just started at 1 and followed 3 per pixel). If second string starts at channel 1531, use that. your current setting looks like string 2 starts at channel 181, which isn't correct.

sorry - i may have read it wrong, i'm actually not sure what the 4:181 implies as the start channel for string 2, maybe universe 4, ch 181? at any rate, i would look at that string 2 start channel

that is universe 4 ch 181 but is was wrong.
