Hello, I'm just starting out with Xlights and Falcon player. I was wondering if anyone has used Xlights,Falcon player and relays with dumb Christmas lights to run a show? I was looking to start out slower with cheaper lights until I get everything figured out. Thanks

Ok, How do you setup the strings in Xlights for the dumb Christmas lights and relays?

Regular models but I set them up as single colour so they only use one channel.

My relays use an enc28j60 so I send ddp protocol to them. My sketch is in my bitbucket.

Hi,
I'd like to see the sketch you've mentioned, what is the bitbucket url?  I looked through
https://bitbucket.org/keithsw1111/sequencing-assets/src/master/
but did not see it.

Thanks.
