Xlights Test / Re: Non musical sequence help

« on: January 15, 2017, 08:11:07 AM »

I am looking to program a few sequences to play between 4-6 hours nightly all year long. I have ws2812b strips around my soffits. I made an animation that was 30 seconds. I Loaded the 30 second FSEQ file to the FPP and clicked repeat. It stops after a few hours of playing and I have to click play again. I am guessing the player can only repeat FSEQ file so many times before it stops. Does anybody have thoughts on to make around 100 patters and load them to the FPP?
Then My wife can choose patter of her choice.

Thank you for the replies.
 Is that my see Quince rgb or the shared downloaded file?

"First put the sequence and the rgb_effects file in a new folder."
Is there a video that you know of one how to?
Thank you
Jason

Gilrock that make sense.
My lights are 5m 300leds, In Xlights where is says string/node type in 100?
Also in the falcon f16v2 should I change the pixels from 300 to 100?
Thank you
Jason

oh man these lights are not like the 5v ws2812b strips that I have. On the ws2812b each led is capable of RBG.
I went with the 12v B/C of voltage drop is a real pain with the 5V.
If I would have know that I probably would have on got the ws2812b for the mega tree. I feel that ws2811 might distort the sequence. and the ws2812b would look better.

Gilrock thank you for the reply, does that mean in my sequence that there will be large clusters of 3 leds will be red, blue,green that will be lighting up at once?

Xlights Test / when testing 300 led strip 3 leds light up

« on: November 28, 2016, 12:11:20 PM »

hello

when testing ws2811 5050 5m 300 leds.  is it normal that when I click the 1st node, the first 3 leds lite up red, when I click 2 node 3 led light up blue. and when I click the 3 node 3 led light up green.

I kinda think when I click node 1, 1 led should be red, then when I click node 2, 1 led should be blue, and when I click node 3, 1 led should be green.

thank for the help.
Jason

Hello thanks for sharing. I downloaded and have the xml files. I go to open new sequence and and select the downloaded files and it is blank just the song no effects. Do I need to import? I still have a learning curve!

Thank you
Jason
