I have a strange problem with my P10's and xLights and I'm at a loss for what to try next. I just received them last week and I brought them to the Denver meet up earlier today where I had many people helping with the problem. I'm new to xLights, coming over from Vixen 3, and all I'm trying to accomplish is to have the P10's working normally and I can take it from there.
It's a 2x2 matrix and all effects generated on it are distorted in shape, color or both. At the meetup today we verified that all configurations and orientation are correct. We swapped out all ribbon cables, used different P10's, moved the power supply, swapped out the octoscroller and later the BBB. None of these fixed the problem. Then we used a different computer to send the data and everything worked normally. This indicated the problem was with the computer / xLights. We figured that perhaps I had a bad install of xLights, so once I got home I uninstalled xLights and made certain that all directories were deleted. Next I downloaded version 41 and went through the setup to create the matrix and start a new sequence. The results are the same problems that I had previously. I tried this on both a desktop and a laptop with the same results. There has to be something that is being overlooked. After all the troubleshooting today at the meetup I know that the hardware works and is configured properly. Any thoughts?
