Have split my shows into two folders and maybe a third coming up. Halloween and Christmas. Was going thru some folders and found a bunch of older xlights files Have deleted all files except the most current and that done away with a lot of the files that fpp connect found Hoping that makes a...

I have been having trouble with fpp connect uploading sequences to my kulp k8-b controller I have noticed this issue across several versions-releases of x-lights Often I have to try multiple times to get the sequence to finally show up on my controller Am running the latest version of x-lights...

Last year my window frames and house outlines were 120v a/c red incandescent c-9 and c-7 lights. This year I am using pixels for my window frames, keeping the red c-9s on the house outline, There will be times that the red c-9's (house outline) will not look good with the multiple colors being...

I hit the “like button” by mistake Please refer to post about consulting. Licensed electrician As my wife insists when I am running cords every where to power the show “Don’t Burn The House Down”

I agree that the way you did your window frames looks good I gave up on the idea of drilling holes in pvc just did not work for me even though others have had success I am going to us some window trim I ordered from Boscoyo However going to adapt some Coro pixel poles to make my verticals on...

Was hoping to add some vertical effects to my display for 2025 and was thinking about making window frames to mount pixels to. Watched a bunch of you tube videos and tried drilling holes into pvc pipe. That did not work as well as I was hoping. Would like to know what method you might be using...

I have seen several videos of folks with very organized ways to store their show doing the off season. That is not me!! And i have used all the space I can find in the garage. My options for more space are the attic or the crawl space below the house. I guess my question is which option has the...

Was wondering if this would be a solution for the audio in my display I am sure there will be several improvements to the system before next season

I live in a rural area on a dirt road and then a 400 foot gravel driveway. So the only traffic I get is just neighbors who pass by on their way home. However, last year one of the neighbors and their children stopped by and commented how much they enjoyed the lights. Will be honest that it felt...

Looking for tips on how to use my iPhone 13 to take a video of display without the video being washed out or overpowered by the colors in the display I have my brightness set to 50% I know lots of folks use 30%, however I am about 500 feet from the road and 50% is just what I decide to use...
