Xlights Setup / Groups Issue.

« on: June 05, 2018, 09:19:14 PM »

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I am making groups fine,but whenever I put those groups in a View that I named "Groups" for now and then switch over to master,the group I created and put into "Groups" is in the master view also. If I take it out then I don't have it in either view.

I saw Clyde from Leechburg Lights doing his in a video and did the same,but I still have the issue.

I am switching to a Falcon controller and Expansion board this year instead of the E682.
So would Universe still be the way to go? My show does change from year to year.

Xlights Setup / Universe or Absolute?

« on: June 03, 2018, 09:54:31 AM »

Hey guys,
    I wanted to get an opinion on whether to use Universe or Absolute for setting up my Layout. I see Gil using Universe in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGgsieJC7-0
Would one be better than the other? Let me know what you think.

Xlights Setup / P10 Panel Setup....Video?

« on: September 29, 2017, 06:05:31 PM »

Trying to set up a 3x4 P10 matrix,but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. None of the effects look right when displayed on the Panels. Preview screen looks ok.

Not sure as tt what to put in ..
# strings
nodes/string
strand/string

Are there a video of a setup or has anybody else created a 3x4 P10 matix than can help me out?

The arrow pointed down was what I was informed to do when I first started the setup. Does it need to be flipped up like the rest? As for the config you mentioned,I'll try it tomorrow.

Why is the data arrow pointing down on the top row of panels instead of up like the rest?


Also why aren't you incrementing the panel number in each column?
Shouldn't it be...


0-1     0-2     O-3  <--this is JP output
P-4     P-4     P-4   <--this is the panel position in the data run, looks like you will have BBB at bottom


O-1     O-2     O-3
P-3      P-3     P-3


O-1     O-2     O-3
P-2      P-2     P-2


O-1     O-2     O-3
P-1      P-1     P-1

Good catch.
I configured it that way and it's much better. I'm still getting the bottom part of the text,etc cut off.

Looking at the panels from the front,
I have JP1 connected to the bottom in on the left side,JP2 connected to the middle in and JP3 connected to the in on the right side. Does that sound right?

I got everything set up on the BBB and Xlights,but when I try to play any effect,video or text,the whole panel doesn't show what is being displayed. Only parts of the P10 panels light up. I'll post some screen shots to see what you guys can find. I figure it's a configuration error or my panels are wired wrong.

I'm doing a 3W x 4H matrix.
