I do apologize. My daughter is have a rough pregnacy and we are on 'grand baby watch'. but that said. My props work fine with WLED software so I think I willl stick with that this year. Get everything ready now for the October setup. We need to setup early because we can have snow on the...

So frustration hit the max this weekend. As I am going to be away for most of August and all of September need/needed the controllers to be working correctly so they can be setup in October before the snow flies. I have now moved 9 of the DIG-OCTA controlers back to WLED and tested and they...

3 controllers are connectd to props like snow flakes, candy canes and those load correctly. It is only the props that I am using shadow models that are loading files of 305 bytes. So I started everything up this morning ... I went to do a FPP COnnect Out of 11 controllers it only displayed...

Wow, I have spent time on this and not sure where to turn. I am running a show with 15000 pixels. My controllers are all Dig Octa controllers. I will say I am truly enjoying this but this issue has me stumped. This year I wante to switch all the Dig-octa from WLED to PPixelsticks and use a...

SO an update. I am getting strange results now. I have the relay working controlled on and off. But I am gettig strange results when I do a FPP Connect in that Ourput 1 is set to disabled when I do FPP COnnect and upload, nothing works. If I then manually set output 1 to WS2811, the relay works...

working/playing around with ESPixelStick software on a DIG-OCTA board. Also got a Raspberry PI V5. Have FPP installed on the Raspberry Pi. So.. when I look at the ESPixelstick software on the DigOcta it only allows for a relay on Output 8. I have that setup to GPIO ID 33, If I set it to...

Ok . I will flash the Dig Octya again. And see if I can get it to work. I would like the relay to power on when the show starts to provide the 12v power to the lights. I will update once I have tried.

I am currently using DIG-OCTA controllers running WLED. I have a relay connected to the board relay outputs to control the the power for the LEDs. This way the power supply is not running when the light show is not running. Works great, reduces power consumption. I want to look at...

I havesetup ESPPixelSticks on a Dig Octa board. I got softaware flashed, got the memoriy card. But theer are some things I am confused about. 1) As much as the controller section on XLIGHTS connected with the ETh connection, the FPP connect option could not find the contoller. When I changed...

Not sure if I am reading correct. On my house eves, I jaded two strings 500each and they meet in about the middle. Two ports. One sting is normal direction the other is reversed. I created. Group , that contains both strings and the chases work perfect. I also created sub models so I...

So it has been interesting. Got it all hooked up and went to watch the show and ugh. Lags. The two controller boxes outside each have two did ovtas in them. The matrix is 2048. It is split across 6 outputs on two controllers for a total of 12 connections. Each controller is handling...

Thank you all for the information. I do run XSchedule on a dedicate cube compter with auto updates tuurned off and it works great . As far as the Controlers go, I was just wondering if using WLED on all of them is going to create a lot of traffic once I expand it next year. I do hve Cat6...

This is the third year of running an xLight show. Up to now I have been running xLights through the WLED software on the DIg-Quad controllers. So I have been doing some reading on the Pixelstick software running on the Dig-Quad controllers. I like the idea and would like to look further...

Hello everyone. I am from Calgary, Alberta Canada. I am tired of dumb lights, of inflatable displays.. I do love some of the Inflatables but I want to do more. I want challenge and excitement. So what better area than light displays. I have been reading a lot of documents and looking...
