Were you able to find a resolution? I am having the same problems right now with a similiar setup. Thanks, Tim

Regarding the mega tree strips in the background, with them being just a pressure fit, do they stay held in pretty good? I will search the fb page for the matrix. Thanks!

I am considering purchasing the mattos evo pixels for use in my matrix's and mega trees. Since they are so new, i was wondering if anyone has any videos of them in action, specifically in a matrix? Thanks, Tim

I did go into the zoom room last night. They found a couple of settings that were causing my issues.....i turned off "auto upload configuration" and turned on "keep channel numbers" for all of my controllers. I have fpp 6.3 on all of my controllers.

I'm at a loss. The props and matrix panels all work when testing from the fpp web interface. But only the matrix panels (ran from a k64 board with sdr's) work. The k32's that control the props do not work when testing from xlights or when playing a sequence from xlights output to lights. I...

It shows this, but only after i do the fpp--->status control--->display testing

Well i typed in the ip address of the laptop and same issue, the k32's don't light up when playing a sequence in xlights. The light in the bottom right corner on the controllers page is now green though for each of the k32's. Can you or anyone else think of some other things to try? Thanks, Tim

I do have the "enable input" boxes checked. I will have to check the force local IP address settings. Hopefully that's the issue. I'll report back in the morning. Thank you for the help! Tim

I have extra ethernet ports around the front exterior of my house. I am plugging into that with a usb adapter on my laptop. So i am hardwired to the switch/vlan. If i am on my laptop, plugged into the show network vlan, i can log into the fpp/beaglebone from this laptop and test the lights...

This is my first year, and i am in the process of installing my halloween show. I have the matrix's and props and controllers all installed. Everything is wired up, i believe correctly. I can currently only play the matrix's thru xlights output to lights, and they work fine aside from the bad...

Quinled's website recommends 500-600 ws281x led's per channel max. I have about 200 pixels per channel on mine with no issues (so far). And yes, i am using 3 channels on 1 dig quad controller. Big plans yes, depends on if i have time to do all of it.

Some more misc pics....

Thank you

So this is the finish product. Hopefully the pixels should be hassle free for the next 5-10 years. I tried to install the led's to make future repairs easier, I'll have to wait and see if that works out. The TrimLight aluminum channel is barely visible from the street and it gives it a nice...

In preparation of installing the TrimLight channels & led pixels I had to install a bunch of 18-3 control cables and 10-2 power injection wires in both of the attics. I thought I planned it good enough by doing this part in late September, but with the unseasonably warm 75-80° temperatures it...
