General Software / Re: I'm experiencing alot of lag using xscheduler

I do not have all of the controllers hooked up yet. Maybe that's the issue.

General Software / I'm experiencing alot of lag using xscheduler

« on: November 07, 2017, 06:16:41 AM »

I tested my mega tree last night and decided to try xscheduler. I just used the play button. There was alot of lag, to the point where it wasn't even watchable. I closed xscheduler and opened xlights a f just played a sequence in xlights and it was perfect. Am I doing something wrong with xscheduler?

General Software / Transferring my models and setup to another computer

« on: July 10, 2016, 10:20:24 AM »

Hello everyone. Sorry if this is a dumb question. I have been wanting to transfer all of my models and setup to my laptop so I can work on my show on the go. Is there an easy way to transfer everything, or do I have to set it all up manually? For instance, all of my LOR setup is on one file that I just transfer to the laptop. Thanks in advance.

Ya I actually noticed that. I was doing some more testing just to make sure I really had it fixed and I saw that it was working. Not quite the same but nothing that I would complain about. This is such a good feeling. Now I can continue sequencing and building props. I put everything on hold until I had this figured out. No use doing that stuff if I can't figure out how to run the show. Haha. Thank you to everyone again for all of the patients helping me through this. The holiday lighting community is pretty awesome.

Thank you to everyone who helped me get this figured out. I don't know where I would be without forums.

I just made a quick spliced together 3 wire adapter (going to the store tomorrow to get the right tools to make own cables). Works great. Lights are perfect. No noticable lag at all. Looks like running in dmx is my best option. I know I lose twinkle and shimmer but o well. Less cables running out to the yard too so that's a plus. I might get rid of the actidongle on com5 and run that though my pixlite16 as well. That runs my 2-27ch rgb controllers from Holidaycoro.com.

I might try dmx tomorrow. When u am making that adapter that they show in the presentation, do I need more than those three wires or are those the only wires I need?

If I did want to try running my LOR controllers in dmx, what would I need to do? I know you have to make a quick adapter (I watched the PowerPoint from auschristmas) if I make that cable and connect it to a output on my pixlite16 and then to my LOR controllers, is that all I need to do?

Yes the COM5 is hooked up as well as the E1.31. Would it make a difference if run it in unicast instead of multi? And yes, I deleted everything and added just the 96 channels of  LOR.

The cat5 I am using now is 50ft. I have it setup for all 96 channels, but I only have 1 controller hooked up right now. (Unit 5 is the one, it was the easiest to access at the time. I do have a screenshot but it's an older one. Everything is the same as this screenshot except all of the universes have been bumped up one. I didn't know at first that I had to leave universe 1 open for the LOR stuff and I had my rgb controllers starting at 1.

For now I only had one lor controller hooked up. The cat5 cable I am using is pretty long but in good shape.

I use the new import feature. When you use the new wizard and it asks if you want to import a sequence

I started over, only adding the 96 lor channels to the setup. I tried running it. Same thing. At 96 channels there is a ridiculous amount of lag ( literally 5 to 10 seconds). The shimmer effect from lor looks like a slow flashing light. I drop the channel count down to 16 and voila, it's close to perfect (still a little off but now we are taking ms, nothing really noticable). Starting to get frusterated.
