Definitely recommend getting lights working from a receiver board to test. Then once you get a string of lights working on that and configured via xlights, you can plug it in to the K8 and reconfigure the port in Xlights and see if it works. My strings worked flawlessly on a receiver board but...
No, neither the original board or replacement board Kulp sent me worked. I even had the Xlights Zoom Room try to troubleshoot and they couldn’t solve it either. Their guess was either both Kulp boards had the same failure, or possibly the beaglebone had a bad pin out (as I used the same...
Sorry I didn't reply sooner, just got back home to check. I didn't directly wire the V- between the Kulp and smart receiver pixel connectors but I just checked and I have continuity throughout. V- from every kulp pixel plug to the primary V- on the Kulp board, V- at the power supply, V- at the...
Yep, all fuses have LEDs lit up. To continue to troubleshoot I took power from port 1 on the kulp board and data from port 9 from the smart differential receiver board, and the lights worked great. Then took power from port 9 and data from port 1 and not good.
This time however I got 45...
Thank you for your continued advice! I've updated my settings to have 2 Universes starting at #1. 185 modules with 3 nodes each makes 555 channels which would need some of a 2nd universe. I've deleted and deactivated E1.31/ArtNet/DDP under Channel Outputs. My string is now on port 1 and i have...
Thanks again for the help! I'm having no trouble connecting to FPP, and can get FPP to do exactly what I want when the lights are connected to a port on the smart differential board. I have tried inputting the pixels manually in FPP on the BBB string page, which from the videos I have watched...
I updated my xlights config to have my string start at #1:1 on port 1 and my start universe for the controller to still be 1. Uploaded the outputs, verified in FPP, saved, shut down, plugged lights into port 1, booted up, verified BBB string showed all pixels on port 1, still nothing. Tests and...
Thanks for the reply! I have only one string. When it is on port 9, I have nothing on port 1, thus the 0 on port 1. And vice versa if I have them connected to port 1, my port 9 shows 0. But only works if its configured to port 9. I did notice I need to update my universe start at 10, but I...
