Having spent some time of my life programming, it could be a bug. Random is not always "random" depending on the algorithm and often involves division or multiplication that could result in "1" being the answer for only two sequences. Try adding some more sequences to the list (just copy over...

Are you trying from xLights? Did you click the "output to lights" lightbulb before playing the sequence?

Can you show the playlist setup?

Did you send the new config to the advatek?

Can you set the lights to be always on and they remember that and then use an ac controller? Likely won't dim but you could flash them on and off.

Many xLights users don't do their own sequences. They use the free shared sequences or the bought versions. It is nice that LOR put together a complete package and with a few sequence downloads, you could get the show up and running in short order. One thing I notice about their included...

You would put the relay in the V+ line from where ever your power is flowing to the pixels. On the pigtail makes sense if that is where you supply V+. The WLED support is talked about on this page: https://kno.wled.ge/features/relay-control/ Here is different version of the relay hack...

You can install xLights into a different directory and see if that resolves the issues. Uninstalling and installing xLights should not touch your show folder (where all the pertinent information is kept) assuming you put the show folder in some place like documents and not in the program...

TM1814 will display a test pattern when not actively driven by a microcontroller. I would either put relay on the power line or send some data to keep them off.

I assume your response says you have the cape installed? Kulp controllers come with a license and the EEPROM file for FPP. Contact Kulp for help or refer to the FPP manual, search for EEPROM and you will come upon pertinent sections of the manual. You could pop into the xlights zoom room and...

Any fuse appropriately placed and sized will work. I used a fuse block inside the enclosure when I tested power injection. Ultimately, decided to run off controller power so I didn't end up using power injection. Date needs V- from the controller. It doesn't need a "return line" but needs the...

I don't have one so someone who knows should correct but I think that might be an EEPROM issue? Is the correct file on the EEPROM?

I would go for larger PSU. The one I looked at the other day, the most efficient use of the PSU was at 50% load. And it would nice to more headroom if you decide to run additional lights off that controller. I happen to think 1 inch spacing is overkill for outlines but do what you have. I am...

FPP on RPi => ethernet switch => Baldrick Power cables Same connector on pixels as you are getting on the Baldrick. If you are doing music, then some way to play that music. The actual forms for arches and mini trees. Some way too secure them. Extension cables from Baldrick to props. Patience...

Another case where you should get some personal help in the zoom room. I suspect you have multiple "show" folders and you probably need to find the latest (before the issues).
