Do You Need Help? Post it here / Re: Star won't run in my sequence.

Thanks Keith. I managed to get the correct settings so the controller was identified, still no action in my show for the star. I tried numerous settings in xlights and didn't anything make a difference. I decided to go back to square one and check all my settings in xlights, fpp and my e682 controller. Turns out I failed to change the pixel numbers on the controller in the last string set up which is where I added the star. I'm new to all this and it has been quite a learning experience, enjoyable, but frustrating at times. I'm just hoping that I can remember these little tidbits when I need to. Thanks again for your time.

Put together an animated sequence using xlights 2018.47 for my 32 string mega tree, 50 nodes per string, E682 controller run by a Raspberry Pi 3B+. Sequence runs fine on the computer and fine in my show. I added a star to the tree and added it in my sequence on the computer. The sequence runs fine on the computer, star and all. The star does not run in my show. I have checked everything that I know to check and can't find the problem. I exported my models in a csv file and it shows everything I had set up except on the star it shows the controller type as unknown. I tried starting from scratch, set up the controller, set up the models and did a new sequence, the results are the same. I'm sure I'm missing a key input somewhere but I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks for your time.

Thank you sir, that makes sense and it should be an easy fix.

Am running ver 2018.47. I have 2 different projects that I have been working on. The 1st project is a 32 string pixel mega tree at church, E682 controller running with a Raspberry Pi 3B+. I set up a simple 5 minute animated sequence that is running in the evenings and working pretty well.
The 2nd project is my home show, a simple animated sequence with some AC light strings running with a renard ss24 and pi 3B+.
I wanted to change a few things in the sequence for my church project so I opened that sequence up and my house project backround image and models showed up there. I made the assumption that I could save a sequence as it was developed and when I reopened it I would see it as it was originally built. I am new to all of this and truthfully it has been hard on the old man. Should I have different previews for different projects? Thanks for your help.
