I can imagine every Christmas there are a few hundred of these questions of yet another newbie attempting to do something new with their Christmas decorations. This year it's my turn. I love those pvc arches I've seen around and on TV that have the leaping or chasing effect. My poor husband thought they'd be simple enough to construct and he made them for me. Looking around on the web, we researched the equipment we needed thinking that the software would come preconfigured or the computer would do most of the job. Yeah right! Now we've spent the money and what seemed like a simple project has become a headache.
I've hooked up the arches to the E682 controller I got from Sandevices and downloaded xlights and was able after many many sleepless nights to get some sort of a show going but I know my configuration is all wrong and some pixels don't light up as they should and some of the lights don't light up at all. I think my issue is my configuration between E682 and Xlights channels not lining up.
I'm looking for help on how to set up my configuration in Sandevices E682 and Xlights. I have my strips connected in the following manner:
In output 1-1 of the controller I have connected a strip made up of 204 nodes (3colors per node)
outputs 2-1, 2-2 ,, each have 1 strip of 84 nodes (each strip is a pvc arch)
outputs 3-3, and 3-4, each have 1 strip of 84 nodes (each strip is a pvc arch)
output 4-1 has a strip of 132 nodes
That's all I have and what I need to know is how that information would be input into sandevices E682 controller web page and xlights so they can communicate properly with the lights. Any help anyone can offer I will truly appreciate.
