I bought a Raspberry Pi with the intention of running DMX Lights off it, with the option to be able to program them in Xlights.
I have a USB to DMX Male cord running from the Raspberry Pi to the lights. I setup the outputs correctly in FPP, and tested and confirmed it outputted.
But when I setup my FPP in Xlights, and output my signal, theres no response to the lights. I know I'm receiving data because I get the abnormal conditions warning.
Anyone have any ideas of what I am doing wrong?

I can't see anything wrong there necessarily. Try setting Vendor to FPP and set type to Pi Hat. Xlights and FPP are getting a bit more particular about having matching details at both ends. Uploading details from Xlights might break your usb dmx output settings but hopefully a quick change afterwards back to usb will fix it.
 
If you are getting that warning it's because you didn't enable the DDP channel input. Thus, it's not processing the incoming data at all, just displaying the warning.
