I finally got the tree, arches and spiral trees out in the yard after a month of working on it. This is my first go round and went small to start. I have been busy wiring, soldering, shrink wrapping, assembling the props, sequencing songs. I am running a E682 Sansdevice controller with 5v pixles. When I run the E682 self test from the controller's web site everything works correctly. I plugged everything in while still in my basement and I noticed the first couple of feet of the first arch was not lighting and it was pushing the effect into the next prop. I was running out of daylight so I took everything outside and set it up. After I got everything mounted in the yard I only had to wait about 30 minutes for it to be dark enough to see the lights well. I through my sequences into schedule and let it rip ... waw, waw, waw ... it didn't work. I shut scheduler off ( It was the first time I even opened scheduler so I figured I didn't set something up) and ran a sequence right from Xlights. Well, it partly worked. The spiral trees are now not working at all (hoping It is a wire pulled apart ... investigate tomorrow), the arch is missing the first 2 feet again and the tree is all mixed up - images are all split up all over the tree and there are sections of the tree not lighting. When I put the controller test back on, the tree and arch light properly. I'm guessing it is something odd in the set up. I have 3 strips wired together and then the next controller out put - 1- bottom left to top -tied over to #2 going top to bottom - tied over to #3 going bottom to top. Strip 4 is on output #2 and repeats. Seems right ... There are 50 nodes per strip. The star is on output #5 and has 50 nodes. The arches are tied together and run on output #6. The arches are 150 led strips cut in half to make 75 each arch. The spiral trees are the same as the arches and are on output #7. I am really at a lose and hope someone can look at the set up and tell me what I have wrong. I'm sure it is something in the set up. Thank you in advance!
