Do You Need Help? Post it here / Help with Sustain or a continuous output

« on: October 24, 2018, 10:43:13 AM »

Hey all,

I have a prop that needs to constantly have a signal to while another channel operates it.

I wanted to set it up so that the sustain function in the scheduler would do it but I cannot get it to work correctly. I need channel 255 only to run all the time but it just wont do it. I also tried just creating a long sequence to run in the background of my main sequence but I cannot get that to work either. I need a bit of help on this one.

3 pixlite 16's are what I am using...

There are no files to post because just setting up the network tab with 64 universes on a clean install withot defining models it still does it.

Ok all I am having a serious issue and it is going to affect weather I can even move forward with my display this year.

I am getting all ts of issues with any model that I have that is above universe 22.
When I go to the test tab and select all channels for a test and the do a mixed color I get studdering on all models above universe 22...  if I change the model that isn't working and define the channel groups below universe 22 everything works fine. If I take a model that works and change the channels to a universe above 22... I stops working....

Can you have more then 22 universes over multi cast?? IS this part of the issue to where I have too much data?? IF so wouldn't I see this on any string of lights regardless of how it is defined??

Can one of you call me I can explain it better but this problem has me to the point to where I don't want to put anything else up.

Bugs in xLights/Nutcracker / Found an issue

« on: September 15, 2015, 05:07:21 PM »

I was on 04.01.08 and just recently upgraded to the newest release and found an issue.

I have 4 custom model candy canes that I normally run a single strand on you get the red and white effect. IN the new release it is broken and it will not work... It is weird it looks like it treats it as 3 sections of lights instead of 16 nodes.

Bass are you running it through a router and or switch or is your Alpha pix going from the Ethernet port on the  PC??

IF you run the test mode in XL are you getting the same flashing??

BASS when you run the test mode from the alphapix does it do the flash too??
If it does then you have a ground or signal issue with how it is wired. Check to make sure you don't have anything crossed.

Unplug all connections but output one. Also isolate the power injection so it is just to the controller and output one. Then test it. If it works fine then add the second output. So on and so forth. This is process of elimination.

IF it works fine in test then it is with either the PC/ router or a signal issue. Easy things to try at that point is try a different cat5 cable for signal from PC to router to device or straight from PC to device

Xlights Test / Re: Lights don't work

« on: September 11, 2015, 08:43:16 AM »

Check and make sure your model is setup correctly. for your test in XL select all. That way all channels defined will be given a signal. If it works then, then you have an issue in how the model is setup.

Two if I am not mistaken your submask should be 255.255.255.0. Try that as well.
