Seed. but much higher density. You will appreciate it later when you want more density.

Nice job doing it yourself! Good luck with the controller.

The pixlite doesn't really care except for running a test. In a show, it is just bytes of xx protocol. You might have to make sure the 4 bytes are being managed correctly.

Do you see the eyes at night? The two with the eyes up look odd at night? Or would you suggest keeping them below the lid? BTW - great job on painting them. Love that traditional bulb look. Do you usually stick with same color for body lights or can they still be mixed up?

@Martin Mueller You got another trick up your sleeve? It looks like this support was added a bit ago. You do have to flash it as a Dig-Octa?

What are you trying to do? Having it on in one position and on in the other position sounds like you can skip the relay and just have it on?

Do you have the bullets? I would go seed for a new mega tree. You can get more density in both directions. 3 meters is nice length to start with. If you go 50x16 (pretty standard size from a few years ago), you can do it easily with a 2 port controller. So almost any controller to start with. A...

Did you try to downgrade?

One thing about aliexpress is that freight is usually a little high. Depending on the order size, ask for a quote and see if the freight comes down or maybe if there is another way to ship than the standard ways on aliexpress.

You can try fixing while attached. I would pull 14 and 19 out and replace both 16 and 17 using a scotchlok or wagu style connector.

IIWM and I had 100 node strings, I would make 100 node trees. Maybe 7x10 or 5x14 and then your 30 node star. This eliminates the cut and patch and still get 6 or 7 trees on one port. Yes it takes 35 more pixels per tree. It will look fuller and will be so much easier to put together.

Other than limiting the total number of pixels per port, you don't need to worry about setting up end to end displays in xlights. Just model the elements as you will physically construct them. For example, you have three windows. Likely you will want to construct the window frame as three...

I downloaded flake 47 v2 and the picture looks right but the model layout data doesn't seem to match. You should contact Gilbert for help.

What was the problem and solution?

Sounds like it is grb instead rgb. Did you use different pixel in the prop?
