Do You Need Help? Post it here / Will Xlights work with windows 11 update coming very soon?

« on: October 22, 2021, 08:54:35 AM »

I was wondering if there will be problems with Xlights running when Windows 11 become official?
most of the times with all updates, I run program with Administrator, and being there are no securities I hope many people may have issues.

Yes, what i need is to see each expression to your config so that i can retrofit to my set up, then i can start working on show,
my problem is i am not sure if i have nearly placed each bulb for each expression, i get the mouth al and mouth o, just not sure abouth the rest, these icons are vague, I am not really sure what are these icons.

Does anyone have what expression to sound format like Mouth O = what letters in the xlights program word breakdown? there has to be a finite list of expressions, I have some, but cant figure out Mouth U, Mouth MBP,
Also I was sold a version of bulb that was not Boscoyo version, for this i need help on figures. I was sold a 108-4 from Holiday coro 48" Hanging Bulb this type has 200 bullet nodes total, and is different from the simple one with boscoyo version with videos.
Xlights has 3 eyes open, c eyes closed, 10 mouth, & 2 Face, the vids i see must be old, only 1 eyes open, 1 eyes closed, 10 mouths, but this video has all mouth expressions filled, but only shows 3 of 10.
maybe someone can post a video of different expressions with lights in xlights please will help alot. Like file attached.
send me link,
Thanks

You can learn much from Joe Hinkle web site, with videos to show you how to set up your controllers, I have Hinks Pix Pro 16 outputs, + new 32 outputs, + 1 4 port smart controller
1 Tip. If you download videos, number them in order some have parts of videos, I suggest you watch all of them, especially when you set up lights, you need be sure xlights have the same universes set up.

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Prepping for second year, Hope i get pros and cons

« on: January 27, 2021, 05:18:43 PM »

I started with 16x50 node megatree 180 degrees with 90 node star.
controller hinkspixpro 16 outlets with expansion LR board 4 outlets, all running 5volts.
I pre ordered 24x 73 nodes 5v with hinkspixpro 32 with fm transmitter. for walk through archway.
also ordered 3 hanging talking bulbs which i think i may be able to use 3 from LR not being used.

I did have a working show finally however the 1-20 lights on star was responding to sequencing, 21-90 stayed solid blue.  I probably had universe error written wrong.  I am sure it was a communication prob.

I am not sure if i should switch controllers to run MT with newer controller or leave as is.

Will 5v smart node be good or will give me problems in the future? at most i plan to build some (fluer de lis) lights with the remaining from 32-24 connections of controller. no plans to expand past this, possible a matrix in a couple years.
any guidance appreciated.
