This is my first year using Pixels and I was so keen to get them up & running. However as usual, everything caught up with me and I didn't finish my lights until the 3rd of December. At last I could see something for all of my hard work & $, but I'm having issues getting Xlights to talk to my PixLite Controller.
I used the Test option in the PixLite Software, but only the first string of 100 Pixels would light-up. I wasn't sure if this was a fault, or a limitation in the testing program. However, as I got the same result on different outputs & with different strings, I assumed it must have been the software. Anyway, I thought it would all become clear when I used Xlights to run the Controller.
However, this is where I really ran into a wall (setting up the software part was always my biggest concern). I have watched many videos and even read the instructions (Yes, there is a first time for everything), but I still can't get it to work. :-(
I'm assuming it's in the network setup, but I've tried several different setups, but nothing I do can get it up & running.
Can anyone assist and tell me where I'm going wrong?
Please see below my Setup, Layout & Sequence Xlights Tabs below, and hopefully it just something simple I've overlooked.
I'm running 2 x 100 Pixel Jumping Arches. 4 X 100 Pixel Spiral Trees and 2 runs of icicles (Garage 2 x 105 Pixels-Total 210 & Roof has 2 x 105 Pixels + 1 x 70 Pixels-Total 280). All with 12v Power injection.
The Sequence is just something I put together to test the system. I'd Love to create something better, but at the moment it's pointless.
One last thing, I've seen where you can import someone else's Sequence, so can I download any of these from the auschristmaslighting Page and if so, where would I find them, so I can just have a play?
