Finally finished my first ever xmas light display. Any tips or pointers? View: https://youtu.be/GM94zBKF9a4?feature=shared

Hello, I would like to ask, in XLights, when I try to use shimmer effect, sometimes its ok, sometimes there are delays or lags between flickering. Are you experiencing similar problem, if so, is there a solution? Adding video: XLights shimmer issue Thanks.

HI everyone I am about to take ownership if the Minions singing faces, thanks to Sam from Christmas Props Australia. Starting to import into my sequences and this is where I hit a brick wall The downloaded xlight models are messed up for Stuart and Kevin. I have spent several hours trying to fix...

Hi All, I am really struggling with getting the HDMI (mini HDMI) output of the BeagleBone black to work with FPP. I have the FPP bootup info on the HDMI so I know the connection is working but it will not show within FPP as a HDMI output device I have the media files all linked and play when...

Hey folks. I’m having a problem with a model in xLights that’s probably a dumb newbie oversight. In xLights I’m using a Kulp K8-B controller to drive a string of lights off port 1 for a Boscoyo model called ICOSA Sphere Small: https://boscoyostudio.com/product/icosa-sphere-small/ I’m also...

Hi All, It's getting to the crunch time now and I'm scrambling to put everything together. Does anyone have any advice/setup guides/suggestions for configuring the Hanson Electronics WS2811DC2-30 in xLights? I have 15 strings of 250 LEDs 31VDC "Bunnings" LEDs and would like some guidance on...

Evening All! This is my first year of 'stepping up' the christmas lights. Last year was a number of 2-wire Bunnings lights, however having them all flash out of sequence caused me some significant distress! This year I am fixing it with a DMX2-24 to at least bring different runs all flashing...

Bonjour, j'ai actuellement une configuration qui fonctionne avec un logiciel arduino mega et vixen. Ceci est utilisé uniquement pour allumer ou éteindre les lumières. Je voudrais passer cette configuration à Xlight au lieu de Vixen. Pouvez-vous s'il vous plaît m'aider car je n'arrive pas à...

Hello! I'm new to this word of LEDs, and I need some help to see if there is any "ready to use" software to what I'm looking to do! First of all, a bit of background, I'm using a couple ESP32 with WLED and xLights to drive some leds(around 9k), and.. well it works perfectly, i make the...

Hi all, This is my first pixel project, so apologies for the basic questions. I want to create an off-grid led show that will run for around 8 hours. I plan to sequence around 8 hours (8 x 1-hour sequences) worth of music in Xlights. The show will be in an area with no wifi/internet...

Hi there, I have been using Xlights for 3 years now. Youtube Channel: Christmas Lights Zwolle @erikjanwind At the moment I only do English songs because of the language restriction. Does anybody know how to make papagayo within Xlights compatible with Dutch or other languages? I have tried...

Hey all, Firstly, great piece of software. Super impressive. Just a heads up for those experiencing any lag within the xLights application itself - I'm running a Windows Domain with folder redirection for my Documents/Desktop/Photos/etc. and if you set your working folder to a remote location...

I'm using a K16A-B and because of the power and where I wanted my controller I have it in the middle of my setup, with one string of lights on my eves going left, and one going right. Each has 100 pixels. I'm having a really hard time getting these to act as 1 string. Even when grouped...

Hello folks, I’m having trouble with the basics with an xLights output to my Raspberry Pi/FPP and F16v3 with 2 expansion boards config. I created a simple sequence just to test the workflow. The sequence is just a simple tree with one animation. I went through Keith Wesley’s 2020 xLights 101...

By this time, most of us will have sequences ready to go. But what will be the 'hit song' of 2021? I have come across a Christmas movie being released this year. Sadly it's being released November 24th and I cannot find a sound track right now. [Yes, I subscribe to Wallace & Gromit]. View...

I’ve been playing with xLights for over 3 years now, but I’m still having issues setting up my lights correctly. ☹ I think part of this is just the extended time periods between playing with the program. It almost feels like I’m starting from scratch every time. So, the problem I’m having...

Hi All, Have been playing around with the principal of running Xlights / Xschedule on a raspberry pi as an alternative for a dedicated PC for running virtual matrix's. This is extremely experimental and will probably not work for everyone. BACKGROUND: During the year I purchased $6 AUD p4...

A quick video on how I do set up the Falcon F48, Falcon Differential Smart Receiver in xLights V2020.39

Hi, Here is my first show with XLights. It's a very simple animation because I was fighting many gremlins trying to put it all together on a tight budget, and only started in mid-November. View: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DTQTv9KzaHXb4milVyqn6NZo96EBJ46J There's a sequence of 8...

First time ever using an animation/sequencing software for leds for holiday light shows. I got Xlights working with FPP on a Pi Zero, and an ESPixelStick! Many more to come I hope View: https://drive.google.com/open?id=14J8I-X96oTWLYc-JZFG9AMEeI0TmOFec View...

Hi everyone! I am new to PC-based holiday light shows. In the past 4 years I learned Arduino and put up some simple sequenced shows (animations only) using ~10x ESP8266 modules as receivers/controllers and a ESP32 as a broadcaster (over WIFI/UDP) to all the ESP8266s. I programmed the shows in...

Hi Everyone, I need some help please!!! Last night I was testing out my two controllers (Falcon 16v3 and PixLite 16 MK-II) using xlights test function on the individual ports and things were going great lights were flashing and chasing. Then during a test of chase lights it froze and then the...

Hello, In a conversation with a friend of mine about a thread I posted in January; This is about using transistor boards I created last year to drive dumb strings. https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/making-my-own-boards-to-control-dumb-strings.11320/ David_AVD (from previous thread) and...

Hi Everyone, Another quick question in regards to Channels that flow across Ports. I've got my F16v3 (Awesome piece of kit too!!) and I've got 6 Mini Trees (100Nodes per tree) they start on Port 2 - Universe 3 - Channel 1021 and finish on Port 3 - Universe 6 - Channel 2820. So the first two...

With the new Shader effect on Xlights a few of us thought we need location to share these. So if you would like to share your presets on the shader effect please post a link to its download here If you share a preset, it has to include all the images and video. You aren't actually packaging a...

Hi, Just going through Xlights Setup for my F16v3 (Thanks Daryl for sending it so quickly!), So I've watched a number of Videos for setting up the Falcon, and they seem to vary from Number of Channels per Universe from 510 to 512. So I'm wondering which one should I use? I've set up 32 Universe...

Are there any means to stream music for a show either locally or via a web page to a spectator's mobile phone? I'm reluctant to install any booming speakers out of respect for my neighbours, but something more personal like a small mobile device seems suitable.

Help needed please I have been doing Xmas lights now for three year using LOR setup and Pixel lights, and now moving forward would like to use a P10 matrix in my display. I have purchased a BeagelBone Black, Octoscroller and 4 x 32 x 16 P10 panels. I have worked out how to install Falcon Player...
