Title: SOLVED! Mega Tree only 1/3 lit
Post by: GoingRGB on December 13, 2017, 11:34:32 AM
No idea what's wrong.  I tried the Facebook groups first, and I'm still in the same place.

We have reset the controller to defaults, reinstalled Xlights (now v.41), used plain bars to test.... Nothing.  Nothing works on the tree past pixel 17!!  It's just blackness.

Any help is appreciated.

IMG_7446 - the bad tree
Setup 1 - Controller setup
Issue with channels? - With the above Xlights controller setup, why is this automatically ending 100 channels into the next model?
Setup 6 - putting in 150 channels in setup and no more issue on channel Garage Peak L (50:2)

It could be that the end channels have no recalculated yet so it's just a display issue.  But you have several weird things in those screenshots.  The controller config has universe 1 for every output.  The tree will not conflict with that model after it because you have them on completely different IP addresses.

Thank you.  There's definitely a recalculation issue, but I don't know how to correct that as it auto-populates.  I've started from scratch (reset controller & new install of Xlights) and the issue persists.

make each tree string a universe ie U1 start ch1 to 50 pix.
Change garage peak left to start at univerese 20 ch1 and leave garage right as is (it should self adjust for changes)
See how you get on

Well you need to show us your xlights setup page.

Thanks for the replies. 


It seems the issue was 2-fold: interference (solved by adjusting universe setup for controller 2) and a corrupted Xschedule (solved by reinstallation).
