Title: Spinner wont spin :)
Post by: shadow62672 on November 19, 2020, 06:31:22 PM
Very new....

I have setup a model spinner as follows:
1 string
arms 16
lights on arm 11
hollow 5%
start angle )
Arc 360.

When I test on the controller all the lights light up. When I test in the Xlights program only the first 4 lights work. Tested it on other strands same issue.

Where should I start on diagnosis?

Again a total newbie and jumping in.

I am also somewhat new to xLights (less so to pixels).  However, I saw essentially the same issue when I had accidentally left my raspberry pi (running FPP) sending output to the pixels, and also had xLight set to "output to lights" (the last icon in main bar, by default).

I think that xLights and FPP were both sending data over wifi, just that one was sending an all-off signal slightly later than the first was sending the pattern.  Thus, a few lights went on, then flickered off, (repeat).

It may not be your issue, but worth checking.  Good luck!

zoom meeting? or zoom on model? If zoom on model, it works just fine on model and preview in xlights, it only lights 4 lights on the physical model.
