Do You Need Help? Post it here / Some effects are not being displayed on the sequencer

I have one model where only only some of the effects on the top layer are being displayed.  The effects are still working but they are hidden.  I have tried reopening and rendering the sequence and clicking on show all effects.    Thanks

The problem with the serial output ports is resolved.  Please note that after I loaded .57 I had to put the controller in E131 mode, change the serial output start address from 2 to 1 and put it back into ZCPP mode to get it to work.  Thanks

Do You Need Help? Post it here / LOR controllers not working intermittently when sequence is run from Xschedule

« on: October 12, 2019, 05:51:19 PM »

I am able to run a sequence directly from XLights and it is able to control my LOR controllers through a LOR network using a LOR dongle.  When I run the sequence from xSchedule the LOR controllers will only work when I start and stop the sequence 3 times.  This the only sequence in this playlist.  I tried deleting the playlist and recreating it.  There are no issues identified in check sequence for both XLights and Xschedule.  Both XLights and Xschedule are using the same show directory.  I am curently running 6 Falcon controllers using ZCPP, 1 LOR network (from dongle) and 1 DMX network (from dongle).

 I'm working to move the LOR and DMX network to the serial output ports on the Falcon controllers but I have an issue with the DMX data being scrambled.  It's doing the same thing on 2 controllers.  I configured the ports using ZCPP.   I'm sending these channels from Xlights but it appears that that the controllers are seeing the following channels:

1 > no output
2 > 1
3 > 2
4 > 3
5 > 4
6 > 5
7 > 6
8 > 13
9 > 14
10 > 15
11 > 10
12 > 11
13 > 12
14 > 7
15 > 8

   Any suggestions?  Thanks

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Re: How do I set up a serial output port on a F16v3 when using ZCPP?

« on: October 09, 2019, 05:40:15 PM »

These are the settings I used:

Controller Connection
  Port:         2
  Protocol:   DMX
  DMX Channels: 1-3, 4-6, 7-10 ect

In Model Chain I tried chaining the models and also setting them all to "beginning" with the same result.

When I output to lights I get a message "an error occured opening output 2 (DMX Devices).  Do you want to continue trying to start output?" 

I click yes

When I go to the status page on the Falcon controller I do not see the serial port.  When I go to the Serial Outputs page all ports show Serial Data,  DMX, Start address 1

When I test from XLights, lights 1 and 2 (Channels 1-6) work properly.  After that the channels seem to be scrambled between the lights.

Thanks

I've just switched over to ZCPP on all my Falcon Controllers.  I've tried to set up the serial output ports on a Falcon F16v3 with no success.  I can't set them up with the controller in ZCPP mode.  I tried putting the controller in 131/Artnet mode and set them up but when I put the controller back into ZCPP mode the settings get overridden.  I also tried to set them up through XLights by selecting controller ports 17, 18, 19 and 20 but that didn't work either.  Any suggestions?  Thanks
