Cool! How are you controlling the canes? I use regular patio speakers, tucked under the porch (that is not essential): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00096ZRJ4 The other thing I have is something like this, but I'm sure the model I have was cheaper: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09P4BJ9SV

Red dot just means it thinks it can't reach the controller, green would mean it thinks it can. What version of xLights is this? How did you open it? It's interesting that you can't add a controller either... Is there any chance it is open read only? What does the layout tab do?

I was expecting to stream mine to both if desired.

Curious if you are looking for all in-person or have interest in remote presenters?

Any reason not to use more data ports (to allow higher frame rate)? 512 pixels per port instead of 1024, you'd still only need 14 of the 16 ports. (Also your question 3) Unless it explicitly says to bridge them that, ground BI. Bridging will cause real problems with some pixels (GS8208 for...

I have an updated CLI version of a scanner that I haven't published, and it is controller aware. It emits JSON but could make a pretty HTML report with links to the controller web pages easily enough. Should have in my GH after a bit more testing, need to turn it loose on the lab network, not...

It might. You'd have to have plenty of RAM and the latest 64-bit OS, then it might run. Not sure how much love it will see, but it is separate here: https://github.com/xLightsSequencer/xScanner. What is your use case for it, do you just point it at the network and see what it says?

Thanks for trying and reporting back ... Had a feeling that bit was sus, but thought its other suggestions were better. All of it was easy enough to try.

Will level with you, please don't take offense. Appreciate the fixed income situation, and want to see you have a fun light show, but this is a case where I'd rather mail you a Pi off my spare pile than spend time debugging it. It could take many hours to save only the cost of a Pi, and few of...

The #1 thing people miss is trusting the calculator and not trying it with the stuff they just bought. I doubt it will be 50 for all the different pixel types you have. Sometimes people mean "each pixel should be within 50 of power" (thus every 100) rather than "every 50". So take the seeds I...

You will get a wide variety of answers to this, because a lot of people are succeeding in different ways. B17 from Hanson is a fine way to start... so would be multiple B8s depending on how spread out your stuff is going to be. If you grow, either of these will grow with you, don't be afraid...

So yes you can. Expand the model into strands, and the strand into nodes, and right click the timeline in the area of interest, and click "Find Possible Source Effects". Based on your symptom, there are two things to check in addition to that though: After you made changes, did you render all...

Not yet, that's on the short list though.

Oh wow, I didn't know that worked for anyone... I tried it in 2021 (rookie year) and couldn't get it to go, so ended up re-rendering every night (didn't need to edit the sequence, used whatever expression feature in the text effect). Then I saw the electric bill and stopped running the...

Kent has been a great help to the project, would have said so sooner but wasn't sure if I was supposed to volunteer him for all that.
