    Light flickering

    Flicker in the middle of a string of pixels is one of two issues: Bad Pixel, Low Voltage / broken V-.

    is there a single string controller that works with xLights?

    ESPixelStick V4 has a fairly robust set of effects and they are played whenever configured and as long as no other data (E1.31 or DDP) is being received. You can also create a "Playlist" that includes various effects and premade sequences so you can create custom sets and have them play...

    is there a single string controller that works with xLights?

    If I interpret the use of "Sequence" to mean you have created a sequence on xLights and then use a show player to send that sequence to your controllers, then everything is fine. Show players save your sequences and know what time it is. The have schedulers that you set up to "Play" your...

    DDP would be preferred over E1.31. It has less network overhead.

    How wrong are the colors? If you do pure red, what color are they? Same for green and blue?

    ESPixelStick V4 runs on 15+ Platforms (much like WLED) and at least have of those are 4 ports or less. The Dig Unos are a great choice.

    GS8208 12V pixel strings - A wildcard third option for the 5V vs 12V WS2811 question?

    Can someone test them using the ESP V4 software. It should support them.

    ESP V4 DOES support the SD card and functions as an FPP Remote device.

    ESP32 Controller - Compatible with WLED and ESPixelstick(unify) firmware

    Are you planning to produce these boards? If so I can add you to the supported platforms list that works with the flashtool

    Very Nice. Also, if you want to reduce the lag on the ESPs to zero, you use V4 and run them in FPP Remote mode. That reduces your network traffic to almost nothing and by extension the lag you were experiencing. Just put an SD card with the fseq files on it into the ESP and go.

    Quinled users?

    FYI: Last week I added support for four QuinLED boards for the ESPixelStick V4 software. It will be in the next beta drop.

    GS8208 12V pixel strings - A wildcard third option for the 5V vs 12V WS2811 question?

    I personally will not be able to purchase any of them at this time (out of xmass budget at the moment). Hence my request for someone to test them. My logic analyzer tells me I am sending the correct data but there is nothing like a test with real pixels.

    GS8208 12V pixel strings - A wildcard third option for the 5V vs 12V WS2811 question?

    I have it working on the ESPixelStick V4 software as an optional output type. You have to turn it on in the build process to make it available. Yes the ESP can handle the higher speed, Also not sure if the difference between 800Khz and 1Mhz is going to change the environmental noise all that...

    GS8208 12V pixel strings - A wildcard third option for the 5V vs 12V WS2811 question?

    Looking at adding 1Mhz GS2808 support to ESPixelStick V4. Would anyone be able to test it?
