Thanks Gil.
But now wondering why I sometimes have a few pixels only on roof sticking on after a wave flows through or sometimes when a song ends I also see a few on??? I have way more amount of pixels on mega tree and none of them get stuck. Maybe length of roof setup? I have injection every 50 pixels(only 146 pixels on roof have beginning, middle(50 mark) and at end) voltage at end is at 11.98 and 12.3 in beginning I used 10awg I had a bunch of)

I had one sequence that was giving me grief. Several lights would stay on. It did it with FPP and xlights. I swapped out the controller. It was a pixlite. Put in a falcon 4 and all is good. If you have a spare controller try that.

James,

     Found out was a bad pixel/board? I noticed that when a fast command would be sent only first half of pixels would be proper color, if the command was over a second then was no problem, so I cut those two pixels out(not sure if problem was coming out of last good lit, or was it first that was affected by fast command, so cut both) and replaced, Now no more stuck or weird color pixels when under a second command sent. It worked fine otherwise, if did sweeps or color changes. What made me find it was when doing a rgb test on each pixel down the row, I saw sometimes it worked and sometimes it did not. Tricky mick it was to find. Now I have another small problem, but that will be another post....lol
