Thanks for the help. It ended up being something simple such as once I got the channels mapped correctly it only works if you render after channel changes. I wasn't rendering after making changes and just playing the sequence it was all funky like the channels were off but it is fixed after rendering.

Hello again! I figured out the channel mapping problem I had before and now I've come to another issue. The tree is playing to the sequence fine such as all strands working, but the effects are off. I've been playing with the zig zag stuff but I just cant seem to get the effects and correct lighting pattern. Attached are my files, any help will be much appreciated. I am using an Alphapix controller.

Thanks,
Ray

Here is the network and effects xml. Not sure what file is needed for the sequence as my file is very large in size.

I can set the controller nodes to 50 but it still ends up being the same issue of only the first four strings lighting up and the colors do not match the xlights preview. What part of the xlights do you need? I posted one part of it. I did use the onboard test and all strands work correctly. The strands I bought from holiday coro have 150 led lights on the whole strands. Should it be 150 nodes in xlights and controller? I did try those changes but its still the same issue.

 Thanks,
Ray

Here are my screenshots. With the setup I have with these screenshots, only the first 4 strings are lighting up. Not sure what to do here. The strands of lights I am using are the holidaycoro Smart / Pixel RGB LED Strip 30 LEDs/m 10 Pixels. Any help with configuring this correctly is much appreciated!

Thanks,
Ray

Do You Need Help? Post it here / 12 ccr tree configuration

« on: October 27, 2016, 11:21:19 AM »

Hello All, I am working on trying to configure my 12 ccr tree. I am using Alphapix controller and xlights software. The problem I am having is the preview in xlights is working correctly but the actual tree is not displaying correctly. This is my first year and fairly new at this but I have everything working correctly but the tree. I have it set up as 12 strings 50 nodes in xlights. The alphapix is 16 output so I was just going to use one output per string. Not sure if that is the correct way, but anyways I think the problem is in my settings of the controller but I am not sure. Does anyone have a configuration for this setup on hand or can help with what the settings should be. I am not sure if it needs zig zag or not either. I can get the tree to work but each strand is doing the same pattern at the same time or I can get it where they are different bbut not following the sequence correctly. Any help is much appreciated!

Alrighty, I am new to this software and first year running a Christmas light show. I made all my models to match my house and how it will look no problem. I purchased a sequence from HolidaySequences and have been using the LMS file for my lights. I was importing effects for each of my models and load mapping my saved .txt files for each model. All was working and rendering until I got the last few models. Now I have everything mapped but it will not render. If I take off some items it will render. It does not matter which ones as long as it is a few items.

I am guessing it is because the file is too big at 65mb xml and 22 mb xbkp and 242 fseq. Im just not sure how to make these files smaller or what I am doing wrong at this point as I have followed the videos from HolidaySequence on how to import the files to Xlights. Any help is much appreciated!
