hey guys i've added a 2nd controller(pixlite4), but not getting any lights light up out of it.

this is my second year and last year i used a pixalite 16 with fpp on a rpi and this year i've just added the pixlite 4 to run my 5v props off of instead to using half the pixlite 16 for a few ports. i haven't updated fpp just running what ever firmware was on it last year, the pixlite 16 lights up and runs sequences but the pixlite4 gives me nothing.. i'm sure its a simple setting i've missed somewhere..

i've done the whole advatek assistant thing,
the pixlite 4 lights up and appears to boot up normal,
i can ping the pixlite4 from fpp

any help would be much appreciated.

There's not enough info in the pics to say for sure what all of your problems are but in the xlights setup you have both controllers having universes 1-5. Xlights won't let you have the same channels so presumably they are different channels. If you go to tools>check sequence I expect that you will find channel assignment issues listed.

In FPP the start channel of the Pixlite4 should be 10201 now that you've changed the universes from your first post

Could also try changing the 12V stuff over from the 16 to the 4 to test because you know that they were working
