    Running GPIO output scripts

    I could not resolve running scrips that would override a pre-show (static) .FSEQ sequence, so I found creating command presets and running multiple command slots off one input trigger allows me to trigger a random sequence! but I cannot disable the GPIO input during the sequence meaning if one...

    Running GPIO output scripts

    Happy 2022 season all! New to Scripts, I want to activate a random sequence off a GPIO output and found a script that sounds like what I need however is it as simple as downloading it and setting the command or do I need a bit more info for it to work? only want one sequence to play per event...

    LEDs stay on

    Mine happened occasionally too so I set FPP to have a 5sec startup delay to allow for the controllers to fully fireup and not any problem since the only other time where it still may happen is if I physically stop a sequence mid show it could freeze on but a quick play & stop will fix that!

    Constructing a megatree

    hey @SantaClaws I did mine this year, 5m strips 6.2m pole. I concreted into the ground a 65x65x6mm socket just under the surface of the ground the pole is 50x50x4mm SHS and the topper is 6mm plate CNC cut & welded to 40x40x4mm SHS that slots all together & pinned with bolts also at the top are...

    Lost all Layering & Colours in sequences

    Hey @LawrenceDriveLights how do I manage gaps in channels? my models are setup in order of when they go added to the display adding on from the last channel however they may be connected to props far from the next channel in line! I'm finding the visualizer for organising port outputs on the...

    Lost all Layering & Colours in sequences

    Hey All I'm not sure what has changed in Xlights but I've come to final check my sequences and upload to FPP & when I load my sequence, Render and view preview prior to upload I find that some effects don't work, layers are not working and colours are all wrong! I figure id install the latest...

    Mega tree pole & Lightning

    Hi all Bit of an Engineering question here, I have a 6.5m steel pole inserted into a concrete socket in the ground and with a few storms around at the moment had me wondering about lightning strikes and what I should be doing to protect or prevent such an occurrence? Lightning is not too...

    Mega Tree safety?

    Hi guys I’ve decided that a 50x50x3mm shs @ 7m is my MegaTree post and that I will keep this post solid with a sleeved topper to hoist to the top to reduce on engineering & cost of making it a 2 or more piece post. However this is a heavy & long chunk of steel that absolutely will be guy wired...

    Copy & Paste Model Effects in Xlights

    Was hoping for a shortcut button 😇 @Dreamin I do it this way but always just off time especially on long tracks I have to zoom out heaps! & @CargoLights this would work but my groups are growing exponentially with prop density and sub model groups! I have substantial pixel growth this year and...

    Copy & Paste Model Effects in Xlights

    Hey Guys Is there a way to copy an entire model effect to a different model inc timing other than the zoom out & highlight the effect & paste on new model clicking perfectly on the mark I copied from? Regards J

    First year show - Struggling to build a shopping cart

    If you run a Falcon it is not a must to have Falcon Player on a Beaglebone (or Pi) as you could just run off Xschedule on a PC or Laptop! I Use Falcon Player, Love it & recommend it but it is an extra learning curve and expense if your on a tight budget plus you can just add it in later easy...
