Turns out the xschedule software is not working properly for Mac. I was able to find an updated version and all is well.

my xschedule does not see my f16v3 controller. I can run a sequence to my mega tree direct from xlights but it will not run on the mega tree when using xschedule. The lower window in does not show any controllers so maybe this is the issue. Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong?

I watched Bill Porter’s xEssential E10 “Power Injection Made Easy” video from November 20, 2018 as well as other video’s on the topic. I was confused with one aspect and hope that you can provide clarification. I am planning to connect six 5v 75 pixel strings end to end making a 450 pixel...

Never mind I found it. It was on the xLights website not in the software itself under “Images to be used with pictures effect”.

I was spending time playing with xLights 2020.25 the other day and I know that I came across a screen with pre-canned models of several pictures (pixel art) of santa, grinch, reindeer, etc. I wanted to go back to review that again and try understand how to use this however, I can remember where...

Thanks for the reply. How do I find xSchedule? I do not see it in the xLights menus any where. This is my first year so I i learning on the xLights 2020 version but see a lot of videos reflecting older versions of xLights where there was a tab for xSchedule right in xLights.

I am looking to run my xLights sequence directly from my computer to the F16v3 pixel controller Vs the Falcon Pi Player. Does XSchedule still exist as part of xLights 2020? Also what is xCapture?

Ok. I am using xlights (should have mentioned that in original post). I have started to hear about sub models. I will do research and see what I can learn. Thanks!

I am still a newbie at all this and have been doing a lot of research and playing around with xlights. I am building a mega tree and based on feedback in this forum I have changed the specs from a 360 degree 48 strip 50 pixel per strip with 2 inch spacing to a 180 degree 24 strip 150 pixels per...

Thank you for the comments.

Thanks. The Ray Wu 13.5 connector is not comparable with the Xconnect. I see no real difference (pro’s / cons) between the two. I already quoted the Xconnect so that is what I will stick with. Thanks.

I have also reached out to Ray Wu with this question. I will post what I learn from Ray Wu and my decision. Still welcome any comments in the mean time. Thanks!

Thanks. This is all helpful input. I realize I do not need a 360 degree tree. I will rethink that and consider something less maybe 270 or 180 (although doing a 360 still does not bother me much as i can see it from the house window). Also based on the above comments I have decided to remain...

Thanks for the input. With three inch pixel spacing the tree will stand about 12.5 feet and the base will be about 8 feet in diameter. I have seen other trees with the same dimensions and light spacing so i think i will be fine with the display resolution. In fact the center pole is...
