Do you have the bullets? I would go seed for a new mega tree. You can get more density in both directions. 3 meters is nice length to start with. If you go 50x16 (pretty standard size from a few years ago), you can do it easily with a 2 port controller. So almost any controller to start with. A...

Did you try to downgrade?

One thing about aliexpress is that freight is usually a little high. Depending on the order size, ask for a quote and see if the freight comes down or maybe if there is another way to ship than the standard ways on aliexpress.

You can try fixing while attached. I would pull 14 and 19 out and replace both 16 and 17 using a scotchlok or wagu style connector.

IIWM and I had 100 node strings, I would make 100 node trees. Maybe 7x10 or 5x14 and then your 30 node star. This eliminates the cut and patch and still get 6 or 7 trees on one port. Yes it takes 35 more pixels per tree. It will look fuller and will be so much easier to put together.

Other than limiting the total number of pixels per port, you don't need to worry about setting up end to end displays in xlights. Just model the elements as you will physically construct them. For example, you have three windows. Likely you will want to construct the window frame as three...

I downloaded flake 47 v2 and the picture looks right but the model layout data doesn't seem to match. You should contact Gilbert for help.

What was the problem and solution?

Sounds like it is grb instead rgb. Did you use different pixel in the prop?

If no one else has a suggestion, I think there is a restart scrip (fppd_restart) you could try after the baldrick is turned on and before the show starts. I am unsure how you do that once each day in a playlist (maybe a separate playlist that only runs 5 minutes before the show) but with a...

Having spent some time of my life programming, it could be a bug. Random is not always "random" depending on the algorithm and often involves division or multiplication that could result in "1" being the answer for only two sequences. Try adding some more sequences to the list (just copy over...

Are you trying from xLights? Did you click the "output to lights" lightbulb before playing the sequence?

Can you show the playlist setup?

Did you send the new config to the advatek?

Can you set the lights to be always on and they remember that and then use an ac controller? Likely won't dim but you could flash them on and off.
