Falcon Pi Player / Upload controller configuration

« on: November 08, 2019, 01:56:51 PM »

I do not see an option to upload the controller configuration to my master FPP.  Using FPP 3.4.2 and XL v63.  When I select FPP Connect option, XL does find the FPP and I am able to upload fseq and mp3 files, not no option to upload the controller info.

The Water Cooler / Re: Boscoyo Snow Flakes

I mounted my snowflakes on a 12 x 12 in board and then added some 'skids' (if you can imagine the sled skids) on the bottom. Tied paracord to top and bottom and pulled them up from other side of house; secured to gutters. Secured front side to gutters.  No issues with movement and water passes freely underneath the board.

Thanks Keith,
Right now I plan to have one set of these models with Falcon and another with San Devices using FPP to play everything.  Haven't used Falcon's virtual strings so something to look at and not familiar with FPP's features to model pixels within a model.
To clarify, I have multiple models (same configuration) with each having 3 rectangle pixels (RBG), single pixel node (RGB), and 3 rectangle pixels(RBG) on single strand of lights.  Not sure if that makes any difference in the response.

Nutcracker Models / Model with two types of node order

« on: June 25, 2018, 12:36:25 PM »

I have model that has mixture of rectangle pixels and single node pixels.  Rectangle pixels are RBG and the Single pixel nodes are RGB.  Do these have to be set up as their own individual model and then put in a group or is there a way to define specific pixels for their RGB order?

Well I have created video when the house preview was full screen on my second monitor, when it was full screen on main monitor. I have scaled it multiple different ways and created video with the smaller result.  I tried version 09 and 10 - same result.  Went back to 06 and now I can create full screen video.  I will keep playing with it.

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Export House Preview

« on: April 17, 2018, 02:51:15 PM »

I am trying to take a video of a song and am using the “Export House Preview” option in XL.  Was on version 2018.6 and had no problem. Upgraded to 2018.11 yesterday and now the export file is smaller and does not fill up screen when played back (actually the video is in the lower left of the media player).  I have my House Preview window on a second monitor (enlarged full screen); I have moved it to my main monitor where XL is running and no change – just a small video of my display. 
Any ideas what I may doing wrong?

Bugs in xLights/Nutcracker / Re: Value Curve Changes

« on: February 20, 2018, 07:26:59 AM »

Yes Gil, it is on the Transparency row and Transparency is set to 0; For some reason it is showing Saw Tooth value curve and when I select the effect in the sequence grid, the effect starts ramping up and down repeatedly.  I didn't change this from earlier versions.

Bugs in xLights/Nutcracker / Value Curve Changes

« on: February 19, 2018, 03:11:46 PM »

Noticed this when using 2018.4 and 2018.5; not in 2018.3 nor what I used in 2017

In the 'ON' effect, had simple fade down (100 to 50); the value curve shows saw tooth, but I did not want it or use it. In v.3, the effect works as I wanted it - just fade down. In v.4 and v.5, the saw tooth value curve started taking effect and my fade down was going multiple times.
Was this a fix in v.4?  If so, then I will go through my sequence and remove that value curve. Just wanted to know if this was a fix or a bug introduced in v.4.

Running 50% brightness set on all my controllers.  I do not have to worry with adjusting it in the XL for every song.

Thanks for sharing Rob.  I doubt I will use the sequence but I do like to view others' sequences and maybe use an effect or two.  Some nice Peanut graphics.  Great job

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Auto render

« on: September 18, 2017, 01:54:06 PM »

I have 'Render on Save' unchecked, auto save set to 'every 10 minutes'; however, when I copy and paste a large section of effects, it seems to kick on rendering.  I can not find a setting to stop that.  Of course when it does render, I can not continue to sequence until rendering stops.

Latest xLights/Nutcracker software / Re: 2017.23 xLights released

So it must have been the install. In that case, I would love to thank myself for such a great install. Your install skills are outstanding and looking forward to more installs you perform in the future.  Keep up the good work!
