Finally got a chance in the daylight to diagnose my problem. Checked the power coming out of the port attached to the strip of pixels and it was 5 VDC. Then checked voltage going into the first pixel and found it to be 0 VDC. Replaced that cable and everything worked. Upon rolling up the bad...

Thank you for the reply. Just came in from swapping the port to strip 11 that is working to strip 6 that is not working. Strip number 6 still didn't work. I did notice that the first light at the bottom of strip 6 was dimly lit and flickering. Do you know if there are any good articles on how to...

Have had my Megatree (16 Strips of 50 Pixels each) working for a few years now with no issues. Tonight I noticed that on one strip there are 5 pixels stuck on red (not all in a row). They do not change as the sequences plays out. Was working fine a couple days ago. Seems odd that if any pixels...

Thanks for the instructions. I was able to find the bulk edit. I would have never figured that out without your help. Thanks again. Jim

Thank you for the reply. Didn't have any idea about that function, still learning a lot. I found the "select effects" under windows and I selected pictures for effect type and selected tree as the model. Effect by times show up but I do not see a "path box" to right click on. I'm sure I'm...

Thank you for the reply. I was talking about the animation file. It is dimmed out so I can't select the location of the files.

Thank you for the reply and advice, greatly appreciated. I removed the file path that came with the sequence as you suggested but under sequence settings, I cannot select where the animation files are located. It is dimmed out and I cannot select the icon to the right side, which allows you to...

I have imported sequences before with no problems but I am having trouble importing the 12 days of Christmas sequence from "Download Sequences/Lyric" under tools in xlights. After I import the sequence, none of the pictures work because they are showing as being located at "F:\To...

Thanks for the advice Mark_M

Thanks for the advice. I downloaded the manual and am reading through it now. It’s been very helpful. Jim

Very new to Christmas lighting with pixels. Started out last year with a megatree kit and it worked out very well. Now I want to add some more displays but need to learn how to accomplish this. The x-lights web site I was looking at suggested AusChristmasLighting as a very source to learn more...
