if you already have a baldrick 8 -get the 2811-DC2-30 it will be easier to setup and use - as the 2811-DC2-30 is just extra pixels to setup instead of aldo DMX to setup the 2811is easier to setup than DMX - in my opinion
i have both boards, and i find the 2811-DC2-30 easier to use and connect...
having a blank
my tree is round using seed pixels
it goes 1 at the bottom - to 89 pixels at the top the right beside it is pixel 90 , then down to 178 , then across teh bottom to the next then up another 89, the across the top then down another
so it is a continuious loop from the bottom to...
not fully correct, damaged chips will sometimes not fail completly and will pass data, but it usally is scarmbled causing millions of problems down the line
sorry want intending that to sound as rude as it was , was just trying to establish as to why you wanted lights on for 5 hrs a day , was wondering if there was a reason thats all
that was my thoughts too, i dont know the Falcon Controllers enough , but for me a PI as a player would be better than using the falcon controller directly
yeah commercial will cost alot, and so will the music licences.
we have done RGB effects lights for a council, not to music, but just patterns
the RGB lights alone (500W flood lights) were $5000+ each, and the controller was $10,000
and all we did was allow the council to have a sequenced...
another question is, you worried about energy used, but you running outside lights for 5 hrs a night 7 days a week , are you outside this entire time ? if you so worried about energy usage, why have lights on if your not going to be actually using it ?
why not get a ELV(12v) motion sensor and...
you could try the Tester units, they are little inline controllers, you would have to select the white only option but then as power goes off and on they should be able to keep just the white

Xlights uses start channels and pixel numbers not universes ,
Yoy have all outputs set as channel 1-100 for 300 channels
Xlights would need the second port sent to 301as the start channel
Also set it to DDP as e131 is not as efficient
there has been no models or pixels sent to the falcon from xlights, all outputs on the falcon have 0 pixels setup
are youy visualiing the outputs then uploading ?
have you uploaded the layout to the genius controller ? in the controller tab once you have visualied all the props onto the ports you need to upload that information to the controller
click the upload outputs button in the bottom right
try following this
