Title: scheduler issue.
Post by: kazdeb on November 25, 2017, 01:12:28 PM
Running  version 2017.33. I have an alpha pix 4 , and alpha pix 16.  All lights are mounted, models have been created.  Both boards operate correctly in their individual test modes, with correct output.  Am also able to  control both boards correctly with xlights on board test functions.

In scheduler I have created playlists, with dates and times as shown in tutorials.  Scheduler starts at the set time.  The problem is that not all of the models are fully illuminated. For example one model is roof outline. It has three stands of 2811 pixel connected together with proper power injection, and only the first strand is lit.
In test mode all 3 strands are lit. 

I am planning on activating the lights tonight 11/27/17.  I can always output the xlights test functions, but would much rather run the sequences i have already made.


What have i done wrong, or not done at all?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Start with going to xlights.org and hit the Blue Button on the right.

Went to zoom and followed recommended upgrade to 2017.37. All models have all  pixels working at both board test level as well as through xlights  built in test function.

When playing playlist from scheduler certain models are only partially illuminated.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This does not sound like a scheduler issue to me.  But based on the info you have provided it will be like shooting pool with the lights off to be able to give you any kind of an answer.

I was having a similar issue and found that when I saved it it didn't render certain elements fully.  I went back into the sequence checked that element resaved and reloaded it into my Pi.
