I am not sure what my show folder was called.  I will look.  Would in be in the same folder as the fseq files?

Computer crashed, but hard drives are ok.  Purchased new computer, but can't find the models on the old hard drive.  Where are they (what extensions would they have) or is it hopeless and they are lost forever?

Thanks
Rick

Thanks.  I have been experimenting with different models and some work better than others.  Just wanted to get someone's expert opinion.  I am always looking for better ways to sequence.

What is the best way to sequence firesticks?  Best models to use, etc?

Red/Blue test indicated I am off by 1 pixel (3 channels).  I hope solving this will correct the alignment.

Thanks

Typo.  It should have read:  My set up in Xlights is as follows:  Model Name: Pixel Tree, Display as: Tree 180, Type of string:  RGB nodes, Actual # of strings: 8, # of RGB nodes per string: 50, # of strands per string: 2, Start Channel: 1, From Output 1, Start coer is: bottom left.  I am using a LOR  Pixcon 16 controller.

May be that is my problem.  I may have set up the controller and Xlights to fold.  I know I did in Xlights, will have to check the controller.  I thought you had to set up both the controller and the software indicating a fold.  So you only have to set up either the software or the controller to fold, not both.  Is that correct?
Thanks

First off the software is great.  I have started with some very basic sequences, but the software was easy to use and understand.  I built an 8 foot pixel tree using 8 strings of 50 pixels folded in half to create 16 strands.  My set up in Xlights is as follows:  Model Name: Pixel Tree, Display as: Tree 180, Type of string:  RGB nodes, Actual # of strings: 50, # of RGB nodes per string: 2, Start Channel: 1, From Output 1, Start coer is: bottom left.  I am using a LOR  Pixcon 16 controller.  I am not sure why some of the pixels seem to be out of alignment.  As an example, when the red and green waves or bars move up the tree it seems that there are some red where green should be and visa versa.  You can tell that it is a wave, but they are not crisp lines.  Could this be a function of the conversion from Xlights to LOR or with the Pixcon setup?  Thanks Rick

The Water Cooler / New Sequence

« on: February 16, 2015, 08:59:56 PM »

Appreciate this forum.  Just starting to get into pixels.  I loaded xlights/nutcracker.  The new musical sequence option is not available in nutcracker.  It is grayed out.  What do i need to do to have this option available?

Thanks
