Hi This is my second year doing a pixel setup and I'm wondering if there is a cleaner way to connect my laptop to my controller when running a sequence. As of right now I have a pixlite 16 mkII and I connect my laptop directly into it via the Ethernet port on the board. Ideally I would like...

Hey @christmasdave Thanks for remembering me and for the great feedback. Turns out all of the things you mentioned were part of the problem and then some. I completely forgot about uploading the output from xlights to the controller, which solved one set of problems. I then realised that I...

Hi all I did my first pixel light set up about 5 years ago and then had a four year break while I was moving houses and renting. I'm back this year with my set up but I am rusty with understanding how everything works and am struggling to diagnose an issue with xLights correctly controlling my...

Happy to share. PM me your email address and I can send you the files

Song number 3 in our Christmas show is my personal favourite - Rosanna by TOTO

It was definitely pretty satisfying :)

Song number two in our show is Sweet Child O Mine by Guns N Roses. I'll be publishing a new song each week.

Here is a video I took of the first song of my show. Will add to the thread with the other four videos as I get around to publishing them. It's my first year doing Christmas lights and I am pretty pleased with the result. Thanks to everyone in the community to answered my countless questions...

PixLitw 16 MkII Error says: Upload warnings: WARN: String port 3 has model settings that can't be uploaded

I have a series of mini trees that are connected in series that use 190 pixels each. I have used 4 X 50 node to wire them, so each tree has 10 unused pixels at the end. I tried to set this up on xlights by saying that each tree (except for the first one) has 10 null pixels at the beginning...

Moved the power supply in between trees 2 and 3 and plugged the power busses directly into the power supply and it works properly now. Thanks for the help everyone

Ok, sounds like I'll try repositioning the power supply. At the moment the distance between the power supply and Mini Tree 1 is long - around 20m or so. The distance between the Mini Trees however is relatively short, only 2m or so. I might try placing the power supply in between Mini Tree 2...

Oops, that's a mistake with my diagram. Each power injection point has a V+ and V- connection. Diagram is fixed now

I'm having some troubles with the power injection for my mini trees. I have 8 mini trees which are broken into two lots of four. Each mini tree plus star uses 200 5v pixels (4 x 50 node strings). The wire diagram below shows how I have them wired up (I have only showed one group of four...

Thanks Graham, unticking the box was the solution
