Ok. So I have five floods that are connected Via the Com 2 port on my F16V3. They are connected in parallel to a Ray Wu Easy DMX Controller with the dips set at 1,4,7,10,13.
First of all....how do I set this up in the controller ?
Second...how do I set it up in the FPP ?
Third.....would this be how its set up in Xlights?
Forth.....how is it that universe 1 port 12 I have made as ch. 1651-2043 in the FPP and F16V3 works when programming from xlights? Does X lights just use the universe numbers and the channel numbers mean nothing?
Wrapping my head around this all and man its quite the learning curve!http://nutcracker123.com/forum/Smileys/default/undecided.gif

Trying to follow this... Based on your Xlights Layout Picture, your Flood Lights are assigned to Starting Channels 1,4,7,10,13...
So then once you export the .fseq out of Xlights to FPP, FPP is using those channels numbers to turn on your Floods. So in FPP, with your Start channel starting at 1651, you will never see your flood lights work... you need to have FPP turn on your Flood Light channels, 1,4,7,10,13.
There's still some other configuration stuff going on with your controller and also the Xlights Setup page compared to your FPP page that's not quite right... but I'd need to figure out your whole setup first to point you in the right direction...
Does that make sense?

The odd thing though is that the flood lights DO work! So with Xlights if you notice Universe 1 is set in Xlights as channel 1 through 512 (which I cant figure out how to change). Universe 1 in FPP and on the F16V3 starts at 1651. So my guess is that the flood lights work with because Universe 1 has the channel allocation of 1 through 512 on xlights but the FPP and F16V3 only see universe 1.
So you see in Xlights Layout screen I have added the floods (5) and everything has the proper channels as per FPP and F16V3 (the FPP and F16V3 do not have the floods on them yet)
The FPP and F16V3 do they just see the channels? So with FPP do I just add 5 universes under the E1.31 with those channels?
And what about the F16V3? under serial ports?
