You have a 3D image of your house? What does that look like most images are flat. You can surely insert an image into the 3D space in xLights buts its going to be flat. A lot of folks use some Hover app where you take photos and send it to the website and it creates a 3D model and you have to...

Yep its cold here also...got below 50F and had to put a jacket on last night.

I only have 2 heads. I finally got them into my show Sunday night. Couple days ago I saw a post on FB about Tom BetGeorge's StarWarsMedley. I had that sequence from 5 years ago so I dusted it off and tried to import the moving heads. Unfortunately they were all done with On effects using...

Its no fun if I have to explain that I'm joking...lol

Twinkly should work with xLights. I bought one string just to test them out because they wanted me to teach a class on it at Florida Mega Mini one year. From memory first get the Twinkly string setup and running with their phone app which should establish a connection between the Twinkly...

So the controller output is already limited to 15% and it still "bleeds eyeballs"? Have you checked without others? Maybe it just bleeds your eyeballs. :) But seriously that's already severely cutting the brightness not much more you can do. I might would play around with the gamma settings...

J1SYS were great controllers and I used them in my show for 10 years. I finally retired my last one from the show this year. I would recommend just get a new controller. I had 2 F16v2's die on me this year on back to back nights. They were 8 years old and sometimes you just gotta move on...

I was mainly wanting to ask Keith since he wrote the effect but was afraid he might be asleep right now so figured I'd just post my question. I got an older sequence that controlled moving heads and when I imported I found it was using On effects at the node level to control Pan and Tilt. I'm...

Never buy a controller that doesn't support changing the color order. I always leave string properties as RGB it just avoids confusion. Set the color order in xLights but do it under the Controller settings for the model so that xLights will set the color order in the controller for you when...

I have the fix....a faster computer so xLights can keep up.

Yeah I use copy/paste. Doesn't take too long just imagine you paste it 3 times and now you have 4 copies. Reselect all 4 and then copy paste that a few times...now you have 16 copies...reselect them all and copy/paste again. You can see how it would rapidly grow and filling 3 hours could be...

Nope..I think we ran out of room on the toolbar. :)

Yep lots of forum activity died down. I used to like interacting on the xLights forum much more than Facebook but the site went down for several months before the guys fixed it cause Sean was busy and now nobody participates there. The xLights group on Facebook got so big I don't like to post...

Usually you will have a piece of hardware that drives the panels like a ColorLight card driven by a Raspberry Pi or a BeagleBone Black with a daughter card on top. In xLights you just create a normal matrix for the full size of the panels and then the hardware will take care of splitting out...
