Running my show ( 1-Alphapix and 1- LOR AC Controller )from my laptop my shows runs ok. But running it from FPP only the Alphapix works. When testing the AC Controller from FPP the test pattern works, but just can?t get it to work plays sequences. What should I be looking for

If the FPP test is working, that might imply it is not setup correctly in xlights, or that you do not have the input/output settings correct in FPP. You did not mention how the LOR AC is connected to the FPP, and some print screens of your xlights and FPP configs would be helpful. FPP is supported at https://falconchristmas.com

The LOR AC is using one of the USB ports on the FPP and a USB-485 adapter. It is programmed as unit 1.
-
After downloading the FPP the output section will show the network controller but in the Other tab it is blank. Could the issue be that the AC controller is not being downloaded and any information that pertains to the sequence
-
Definite problem.
-
Right now it appears xlights is configured to send the data locally to the xlights workstation on COM 3. The data is not likely getting to the FPP device to process. I suspect xlights needs to be reconfigured to send the data via ethernet E1.31 over to the FPP device.

Issue resolved. When I went to the controller setup in xlight and changed the comm port from ?comm port 3? to ?not connected? reloaded FPP the AC Controller started working with the sequence. It?s those little things that can drive you crazy.
