Do You Need Help? Post it here / Re: Xlights not sending data to E682 controller
« Last post by 2k05gt on November 27, 2024, 05:45:46 PM »
I have to give up..
the E682 controller just went south for the winter.
2 yellow lights are only on now, rebooting will not correct it, I can not get to the webpage anymore.

Time to look for a more up to date controllers.

I will try the DDP with my ESP32 Shields, thats all I have available at the moment, and with the holidays
getting something here soon is un likely.

here is what I have to work with.
Shields with ESP32-WROOM-32E controllers 4MB
These are single output controllers.

I would enter the controller settings in manually back in the day.  xLights supports E1.31 and DDP at the same time, so it might be worth a try.  You will not offend me if you don't want to try.   Not sure I am going to be much more help though... sorry!

I am not sure how to match up the two since they use different terminology.
and I can't find the areas in Xlights to make those changes.

I did a string for each port, but it worked out well for me.  I don't see an issue with using 4 strings, but xLights needs to to match that configuration.

Not sure if the below config will get there.  I never used more than a single universe on the same port.  I would have to manually type them in.  Someone may have a better suggestion.

I was going to do 1 string per port, but I just figured out that ports 1 & 2 on the E682 are bad so I need to change that

I am not sure how to change those settings, it's tied to the light protocol?

Your Megatree settings do not look right to me.

1.  Your E682 claims it is configured for 50 pixels each port, and I think it should be set to 200 each port.

2.  Your Megatree appears to be configured for 16 ports, and it looks like it should only be configured for 4 ports.

3.  Your Start and End Channels do not look right to me.  It has been a while since I used E1.31, but I started each port with IP Address:Universe:ChannelNumber  I included my old megatree settings.  There might be a better way to configure them, but that way worked for me for a few years before I converted to DDP.

Thank you. That was a good idea and it worked. I think it works simply because of timing as opposed to home assistant caring where the request came from. The command must be running after the last DDP packet from the player so long as the script is run from the DDP source player.

I have had this E682 controller for several years but have not been able to get it working with Vixen and Now Xlights.
everything is on the 192.168.1.0/24 network

I connect to the controller web interface, I can run test patterns to the lights.


In XLights, I run my sequence but it will not send to the controller.







I also have several WLED ESP32 Shields in the mix.


Xlights Scanner finds the controller


PC IP same Subnet

Not sure what is in your script, but you may need to setup the script as a "Command Preset" on the remote FPP Player.  Then use the FPP Command "Remote Trigger Command Preset/Slot" to run the Preset remotely from the main player.

If you run the script from the main player, it is going to run on the main player, and you may need it to run on the remote player instead.

Falcon Pi Player / Remote Player Blanks DDP Outputs
« Last post by theOtterSea on November 27, 2024, 09:14:01 AM »
Hello Everyone,

I have exterior lighting using Kauf bulbs that accept DDP input as part of my display. They're also configured in home assistant but I will explain that home assistant isn't causing this issue. They're configured as DDP one based outputs on one of my FPP raspberry pis. When the FPP that controls them is master, everything works as expected. The problem arises when I change the master and make the FPP with DDP outputs a remote.

My show playlist is like this:
  • Lead In
    • Script home assistant turns Kauf lights off
  • Show
  • Lead Out
    • Script home assistant turns Kauf lights back on

If the player with DDP outputs is master, the lights stay on after the lead out script turns them on.

If the player with DDP outputs is the remote, the lights turn on briefly then turn off again as the playlist ends. Home assistant stillows them as "on" which tells me FPP blanked them via DDP.
