Do You Need Help? Post it here / Re: Modeling Single Channel nodes (WS2811) in XLights

« on: December 19, 2021, 08:26:11 PM »

I did an XLights/FPP Zoom call today.  The issue is that FPP is NOT set up to handle single-channel nodes.  I was given directions for making a 3 channel node for 3 of my strobes.  Everything is now working perfectly.

I have 18 WS2811 Single Channel Nodes that I want to model in XLights.  They are being used as individually controllable strobes in a Mega Tree and are followed by a standard 88 node 3 layer star.  What is the best way for me to model these?  I am running these pixels from an FPP remote Pi Cap on a single output.

So I copied those three files again and loaded them on my workshop pc.  Everything is now working as expected.  I think I may have copied the files into the wrong folder last time.

Thanks for the help!

I have a sequencing and workshop PC that I use for my light show.  I tend to not have my sequences on the workshop computer, but I like to keep my layout up to date.  I thought by copying the xlights_keybindings, rgbeffects, and networks files allowed me to keep my computers concurrent.  Recently I made a significant change to my layout on the Sequencing computer, but I have not been able to get my Workshop computer to update to the same layout.  Is there another file I need to copy?

Issue Solved - I had only set the vendor not the Model on the problem controllers.  As soon as I set that the issue disappeared.

While there are ways you can fix it ... best wait for v9 which will address it.

I just updated to v9.  I had a couple of my Pixelsticks set to unicast when I did the update and the rest were set as Multicast.  The Pixelsticks that were set to unicast show a port in Visualize,  but the units that had been set to Multicast do not show a port in Visualize even after updating them to Unicast.

What next?

I'm sure it is me but after watching the video on using visualize and making the update to 2020.8 I am having an issue that the ESPixelSticks I have set up do not show an output port in Visualize.  Suggestions?

Should I be reporting this problem anywhere else? Found the thread on reporting problems, following those instructions.

I plan to update my Arches this year from 8 segment Dumb RGB arches to Boscoyo 3 Ring Pixel Arches.  My plan was to set up submodels to simulate the current 8 segments.  Is there a way for me to have the new arches receive the commands that were programmed for the old arches?

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Re: 3 newest sequences broken

« on: December 13, 2018, 06:20:05 AM »

I found that my old sequences were set at 50ms, and my three new sequences I did at 25ms.  I had not changed the settings on my Renards to handle my 256 channels at that refresh rate, I needed to lower the refresh rates on these sequences.  By going to Sequence Settings I could have xLights change my refresh rate down to 50ms.  Then with a render and save I was good to go with my three sequences.

Thanks xLights team for making the solution to my mistake so simple!

Which file contains the Model and Submodel Data?  Is there a Backup of this file?  I have wiped out some submodels that I created for a sequence and would like to try to restore them rather than recreate them.

I am using xLights, RaspPi with FPP 2.5, outputting to an RS-485 adapter to run my approx 256 Renard Channels and to a Falcon F4V3 board and remote receiver boards. I removed control of the Renards from the F4V3 board last weekend as I was getting Phantom flashing in some of Renard Channels. Now all of my Renard channels are working perfectly, except in the three sequences I created this year. All of the other sequences are playing perfectly.


I have tried rerendering the sequences in xLights and uploading them to the Pi to replace the files that were there, but I saw 0 change.  I can control the problem areas of the display properly when I use FPP's display testing.


Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Very familiar with it.  I was off of Nokesville Rd.  Happy Blinky Flashy!
