I follow Canispater and The Hook Up (THU) on YouTube. Both are run by experienced and knowledgeable people with tons of good info. Canispater is anti-strip lighting; The Hook Up uses mostly strips. I asked THU about the friends comment on Canispater and why strips get a bad rap. His said if...

You win ezellner, that wasn’t exactly the problem but it led me to what was wrong. On the v2.55 page under port configuration, my pixel count was correct. Last time I had a problem, that was where it was at, hence the confusion. This time, my start channels were off. I was assuming that when...

When I started all of this I had never soldered anything, let alone electronics. That said, I bought an extra strip of LEDs just to practice and make mistakes on. Not knowing exactly what you are doing, I did see you said something adding about wires. When extending an existing strip, I...

Where would I find it? I can see references but the actual location seems to be elusive!

Greetings all, I ran into a snag while setting up my strips for window outlines. I had been running five temporary arches, three meters/90 pixels each. They were hooked to outputs one through five on an F16v3 controller using xLights and worked great thanks to some help on this board. After a...

Dan, That seems to have resolved the problem. I cloned strings so that all 16 ports are the same and the lights are showing the xLights sequences that I input. I should have seen this but there are a lot of pages with a lot of input to cover, especially when starting out. Thanks for pointing...

I'm glad to be here, any help is appreciated. I'm a mechanic by trade so figuring out this stuff is pretty intimidating so far but I shall struggle through! My goal is to have a basic display up and running by mid October for Halloween season. I am running a Raspberry Pi and a Falcon F16v3...

I set up a row of five arches made with 2812b strips. The arches are 90 pixels each with the exception of the last one, which is 88 pixels. I am running an F16v3 and Raspberry Pi with xLights. This is my experimental setup as I am new and learning everything. All is well with getting everything...
