Hi all,

I did a very small show 5 years ago and started doing it again this year. All my props are ready and sequence is done.

Tried for about 4 days to connect my Pixlite 16 via Advatek to Xlights and I seem to be going backwards.

I ended up deleting all controllers off Xlights and re connecting the controller to Advatek using a cable static IP address.

No matter what I do, Xlights wont discover my Pixlite. Do I have to add 16 individual controllers on Xlights to control 16 different ports ?

Any help and guidance is appreciated.
 
A single controller definition is all that's needed. Set it up as an Manufacturer: Advatek, Model: PixLite 16 - pop in the iP address.
You then have visualiser where you can assign props to ports.
From there, push the configuration to the controller using "Upload Output"
 
Hey @Nizlights. I pulled mine old Pixlite MK2 out of storage to use this year. Very important thing I learnt is that you need to have the Assistant closed to push your config to the controller from Xlights.

I needed to update the firmware on my controller and downloaded the new assistant aswell. Remember you can only have max output of 510 pixels per output in expanded mode and 1020 in normal mode ( Less again per mode if your lights are RGBW)

Make sure your pinout is correct, especially if your in expanded mode. Below is a screenshot of my controller config in xlights.

If you need help, reach out!
