Thanks for trying and reporting back ... Had a feeling that bit was sus, but thought its other suggestions were better. All of it was easy enough to try.

Will level with you, please don't take offense. Appreciate the fixed income situation, and want to see you have a fun light show, but this is a case where I'd rather mail you a Pi off my spare pile than spend time debugging it. It could take many hours to save only the cost of a Pi, and few of...

The #1 thing people miss is trusting the calculator and not trying it with the stuff they just bought. I doubt it will be 50 for all the different pixel types you have. Sometimes people mean "each pixel should be within 50 of power" (thus every 100) rather than "every 50". So take the seeds I...

You will get a wide variety of answers to this, because a lot of people are succeeding in different ways. B17 from Hanson is a fine way to start... so would be multiple B8s depending on how spread out your stuff is going to be. If you grow, either of these will grow with you, don't be afraid...

So yes you can. Expand the model into strands, and the strand into nodes, and right click the timeline in the area of interest, and click "Find Possible Source Effects". Based on your symptom, there are two things to check in addition to that though: After you made changes, did you render all...

Not yet, that's on the short list though.

Oh wow, I didn't know that worked for anyone... I tried it in 2021 (rookie year) and couldn't get it to go, so ended up re-rendering every night (didn't need to edit the sequence, used whatever expression feature in the text effect). Then I saw the electric bill and stopped running the...

Kent has been a great help to the project, would have said so sooner but wasn't sure if I was supposed to volunteer him for all that.

I did a pretty deep dive on xSchedule internals back in early 2023 when I was between jobs. Managed to fix one or two bugs, started a branch where I added a sort of test framework, but ultimately decided that I couldn't get it to do what I wanted. Oh and then I got a job or two, so that was...

No, it's not, see this commit... https://github.com/xLightsSequencer/xLights/commit/dc31f254ecab868ac1360ed9307ca2a5ccf02448 - do not know what "separate repos" means and if anyone will maintain them, but I really do not know of any use of xlDo, xFade, etc., outside of a few intro videos, and...

Yes. That is exactly what it does. I have patio speakers under my front porch, and I turn them down a bit as the night goes on. Just makes less noise in the house and for the neighbor.

The Fallingwater thing was my lame attempt at a joke.

Rumors of the imminent demise of xSchedule are confirmed (see below). But fear not loyal xSchedule users (and poor Mac users who could not get xSchedule for the last few years). Our crack onshore+offshore+human+AI team, with oversight from your fellow ACLers, have built a replacement for you...

Starting to plan out a new show location and would love some input before I commit to wiring and controller placement. House is from the 1930s I think, trying to respect the original design. Some questions: 1. Do you think this needs a full 3D layout for best sequencing results, or can I get...

This has not been tried many times that I know of, but there was an incident last year (https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/help-with-seed-pixel-and-wled-voltage-power-issue.17015/) where someone got pixels that were 5V but mislabeled as 12V. They worked a little but looked weird and kept...
