Lights coming when not supposed too

Hi everyone.
This is my first time using xlights (usually LSP)
I finished my sequence and thought i had done the layout to the controllers and outputs right but apparently not.
There are lights coming on then they are not supposed too, I have read in another post its a conflict of channels but i just can't figure it out.
Can someone point me in the right direction please
Thanks
Julie

 

Looks like you have lots of overlapping channels in your setups. That won't be helping your output.

 

IN xlights, use Check Sequence and have a look at the warnings and errors produced. That will point you in the direction of where there are issues

 

Also, on the layout tab tick overlap checks enabled box (down the bottom). This will change the color to red for all the models that are clashing.

 

So is the problem that you see lights come on that aren't supposed to in Xlights whole house preview, or does it work in xLights but looks wrong in the yard?

 

Thanks everyone, I didn't know there was a "Check Sequence" or what the "overlap checks" was for lol
In the house preview at the moment.
I haven;t gotten to the part of the yard yet lol

 

Hi again,
Well i did as suggested and used the "Check Sequence" and ticked the "overlap checks" but I am still at a loss of what to do to fix the errors.
GAH! I'm not having a good day when it comes to this lol
Thanks
Julie

 

Hi Julie - you can always jump into zoom and get some instant help https://zoom.us/j/175801909

 

Hi QLDKing,
Sorry I dont have a mic :/

 

Or try the chat room...

 

You can always dial in on your phone.

 

Thats ok - you don't need a mic. There is a chat function in zoom

 

Beat me to it

 

Ok so i fixed the issure of the channels
I just have one more problem with the check sequence
It says:
Non contiguous channels on controller ports
ERR: Model 'main Star' and Model 'mini Tree-4' are on controller IP 'MULTICAST' Output Connection 'WS2811:2' but there is a gap of 270 channels between them.
ERR: Model 'mini Tree-3' and Model 'mini Tree-5' are on controller IP 'MULTICAST' Output Connection 'WS2811:3' but there is a gap of 90 channels between them.
what does this mean.
I have attached a pic of the layout

 

That happens because tree 4 likely has a missing or different controller connection.
