Hello All I am starting to learn how to use Xlights and if I am just trying to do something simple to have my strands using the single strand with 2 colors when I output to my lights they look to be flashing like a strobe light really fast. I am not sure how to get them to look nice and smooth with out flashing, Is this something someone here could help me out with

How do they look on screen? if they are smooth on screen but strobing IRL you might have a wiring problem.

Do you have anything else that might be trying to send data to the lights? could also be a cause.
