Please help Config problem

[Gilrock]

Yeah there's actually several ways you can set it up.  I was assuming he did zig zag wiring since he set the zigzag parameters on the controller.  If you do the 4x536 strands per string=4 xLights will automatically do the zig-zag for you so you would need to remove the zig zag setting from the controller.  I'm pretty sure both my solutions for mapping channel numbers to the model are going to work but the second one if probably easier.  You really only run into this when you have a controller that can cross universe boundaries on one output.  In my setup I have 36 universes all set to 512 channels because none of my controllers have outputs that cross a universe boundary and if I ever need to add another element to some unused channels in a universe I don't need to go back and renumber all my models.  I like to config my setup with the maximum capability of the controller even when I'm not using all the channels for each output.

Gilrock,
Ok i tried your config and they all line up execpt the last three strands.they just kinda flash. If i put the pixlite in test mode and select all my channels everything lights fine though.

I would use the Test page in xLights and try activating some single channels that are at the beginning of a string and see if the right lights are lighting up.

If you can post the first two screenshots again so we can double check the numbers you have.

If i find the start channel of every string i should just put those in my model. right?

[Gilrock]

I'm sorry I messed up earlier.  I fired up xLights and entered your numbers and figured out I confused myself by looking at string 6 for universe 6.  Anyways the key is your starting string in each output needs to match the start channel for that universe.  So Universes 2, 6, 10, and 14 need to start at the same starting channel you have for strings 1, 5, 9, and 13.  So I took a screenshot of the setup that should work.  See how string 5 which begins on Universe 6 starts at channel 2121 and Universe 6 starts at the same channel...that's what you want.  Keep in mind this assumes you have your model setup the same way you originally posted.

ill give it a shot tonight when i get home from work. thank you again

[fisherman888]

you nailed it!! thank you very much all you guys are awesome. If you want something to ponder.  my spi3 output to universes 9,10, 11,12 was lighting pixels all over. when i would hold the cable it would get better so i replaced the cable. Its a shielded cable by the way and it is grounded. problem stayed the same. i figured i would ground the end closest to the pixel strip to see what happened so i put  put a clamp on the shieth and it got better then i took a wire for testing and connected it to the clamp and everything is good. the wire is just laying in the yard. im so lost but its working so no complaints. just thought i would throw that out there
