Title: View scheduler output
Post by: phlpyro on November 17, 2015, 10:19:18 AM

Hi all

I have read the excellent manual this time but cannot find an answer.
My problem is that my tree is built I have programmed a number sequences, I have scheduled them and that works. But is there anyway of viewing my show as to date my E682 Pixel controller hasn't left America on its way to the UK so I have no way of outputting to the tree?

Best wishes and many thanks

Paul

I'd say the controller is vital to turning on the lights so no.

I thought so. I have just had message to say controller is leaving at the end of the week. Lets hope customs play ball here in the UK.

Thanks

Paul

Mine took 8 days to arrive.
Customs was quick, but added £13 to it all!
Tracking was good and accurate so keep looking.

Did you go for built or kit??

Btw where abouts are you??

Hi

I have ordered mine from Seasonal entertainment, I chose the assembled one to save time or so I thought

Shame your not nearer but a very kind offer indeed and I thank you for this.
I to am an experienced builder of electronics  but chose not to on his occasion. If it doesn't get here in time I will have to revert back to the original simple controller I purchased with the lights. Yes I should have purchased direct in hind site but I am new to all this and I approached companies to get advice and the only company that took time to answer my questions was the one I picked.

Hi

Just to let you know that my E682 controller is on its way. So now in the hands of the postal service/customs.

Cool

I have been playing with mine, and it is quite easy to set up

Had Halloween stuff running from it OK but had a few little weird things happen along the way for some reason?!!??!

Rigging up the mega tree in the back garden this week and testing my sequences out in that prior to rigging it properly out front.

At present testing the timings on the FPP and that is driving me a bit potty(er) as sometimes it misses the start of the next sequence!!

Oh the fun and games we put ourselves through..
I had it all sussed and sorted for the last 6 years then i go and change it all....
Self inflicted i know..
