Hello All, newbie here, I finally have all my props up and running great except on my small mega tree every time I used the TEXT effect the words are being displayed backwards on the tree, any suggestions on how to fix this?  The text words show correctly in xlights, but when on the tree they are backwards.

Hi all, I have added 4 candy canes to my display and after hooking them up to my Pixlite 4 MKII controller, they light up and stay lit even though I am not running my show, any suggestions what the problem could be.

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Controller Failures in Xscheduler

« on: November 05, 2020, 12:53:35 PM »

Hi all, this is my first year, I was able to get all my lights up and running except for my small mega tree.  I keep getting failure message in Xscheduler, but it will not let me see what the failure is.  The controller is setup the same as the others in Xlights, a Pixlite 4MKII, the only difference is this controller is forced in managed and when I try to uncheck the box it won't let me.  Any help will be really appreciated

Hello my fellow light show gurus.  I am new to the hobby and will be conducting my first show this Christmas 2020.  I currently have a Pixlite 4 MKII controlling my house lights and a Pixlite 16 MKII controlling my mega tree.  I was planning on doing outdoor speakers along with FM transmitter for audio.  Can this be done with sound blasters via USB to both of them?  Will this run the sound when I run Xlights Scheduler?  Any advice is greatly appreciated.
