All thanks for your reply. Sorry the Snow machine does not work with the sequence. Will try with more than 1 channel active and see what happens.

Hi, I picked up a snow machine that has a DMX input ( it also has a corded remote). I am trying to get it to work, but am struggling with the DMX setup. My setup is a FPP PI player connected to F16V3. I have the rj45 lead connected to the serial port 3 on the F16V3 and this run to a rj45 to 3...

This is an overview of my Christmas 2022 Light show build. It is my third year now, so starting to get the hang of things. Happy for any questions or advice

Hi, Haven't had this problem in previous years, but my BBB that is running my Matrix is saying it is low on storage. I have moved FPP to emmc and I guess it is using that for storage. I have been including the P4 matrix in the sequence uploads from Xlights, so this is no doubt chewed up some...

Hi, I have cut a small intro video for my show in Final Cut it is 58 seconds long and I exported as 1920x1080 using codec Timecode, H.264, MPEG-4 AAC. files size is 76Mb When the video plays on my Matrix ( BBB driven 4x4 panel) the video stutters and the sound played through the Rpi FPP master...

Looking to add something different to intro of show this year and saw this intro for Lights of Maui View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv7AbWZQJXk In particular, the P10 Animation with the elf count down timestamp 1:25 Does any one know of a source where you can get videos like this, free/...

I bought Cat5 cables new for this purpose. the BBB is on 192.168.1.102 while the f16 is on 192.168.1.101 and the rpi on 192.168.1.100. the wifi of the pi connects to the home network which is 192.168.0.x. I have decided to factory reset the BBB and re set up to see if that fixes things

I have a strange problem. When I started the show a week ago all working well, then just the other day the LED p10 Panel wasn't displaying. I am Running Rpi with FPP controlling a F16V3 for Pixels and the Beaglebone for the Panel. Yesterday, I updated the BBB to 4.5 so is now the same version as...

yep that fixed it

4.3

Hi, have been seeing up my play lists for my show. However, I have one sequence that when I add to the playlist doesn't show duration and also doesn't play. The sequence works well in xlights and I have done a check there is no errors. What would cause this?

Yep that fixed it. Thanks

Hi, I have some new strings I am adding to my layout and they have a different colour handling ie GRB instead of RGB. I set the Colour handling to the correct setting in xlignts - model under the string Properties-String Type setting. However, when I upload the model to my F16 it doesn't change...

I made progress - have the DMX2 18 setup on the right channel of the F16. I can now have xlights control the lights on each channel. However, only one half of the string is working. When I run test modes form both the DMX2-18 and the F16 both channels on the string work, so I am guessing it is...
