    Rain - to show or not to show. That is the question

    Very might the same here, show was built to run under water, controllers might need some floaties though. I still get visitors when it's raining and one or two FB messages asking if it going to run. It's weird, but some people enjoy touring around / sitting in their car while it rains, those...

    FPP Display Voting Website & Yet another 'Christmas Light Finder'

But have managed to get things together, at the very least I wanted to give this a shakedown on my own display this year. FPP Plugin FPP plugin has been fully written, tested and seems...

    how does everyone backup there important information

    I use Dropbox quite heavily like fasteddy, that way it's all being synced and backup on every change. Restoring files is a few clicks. what I also do is once my show goes live I make copy of the FPPs USB drive with the sequences and prep another USB with everything, and do a FPP settings backup...

    FPP Display Voting Website & Yet another 'Christmas Light Finder'

    omg it's aliveeeeeeeeee. 4 hours of careful coding and chin scratching - polling & playing of the highest voted playlist item via the website is a thing now. FPP doesn't support or can't (probably for obvious reason) go play a playlist when it's running a scheduled playlist. Seems to cause FPP...

    Help Please things start looking good then boom

    I think you have to remove them and add them with the right channel count.. It might be easier to do that since you only have 16 universes, you can edit the xlights_networks.xml file where all this info is stored but probably not worth the effort for a small channel count Re-add the a in one...

    Help Please things start looking good then boom

    xLights should be set to be 510 channels (170 pixels worth per universe) as OzAz said (512 each for the 4 DMX outputs if want those in, I have them in so all my channel counts flow together and I don't have to shuffle things around if I expand etc.). I don't use xLights to program my show...

    F16v2 fuse breaking when removed.

    Had the same thing happen on my controllers, the PCB headers grip the legs so tightly. Wriggling sometimes helps, but there's little holding those legs in the plastic bit. Or it could just be the cheap fuses they use. Any case, jump on ebay and get yourself 50 / 100 lol Sent from my...

    Announcing the PixLite 16 MKII Controller!

    That's a crazy amount of pixels / output, I could almost run my MegaTree from one output lol. This will definitely help with filling out the trees in the garden. With 320 pixels I found I was running short with trees only sporting 42 pixels each ( have something like 30 trees/shrubs in a 10m x...
