Not sure if it's xLights of Controller (F48)
« on: January 28, 2019, 02:09:45 PM »
Hello all, new to xLights but love the product. Here is my question. I have set up my xLights with a Falcon 48 and can ping the Controller. I have uploaded both xlights xml to the controller successfully. If i put a single string of 200 pixels on and run the sequence it works. When I load a 4 string 50 node per mega tree only 50 lights will turn on. Any thoughts?

You uploaded the "xml" file?  Not the .fseq?

When you say only 50 pixels will light it sounds suspiciously like the default string settings.
The Falcons usually come with only 50 pixels set up to run on any given output.

My bet is you have your port numbers wrong.

See we are all just placing bets and making guesses without pictures. :)
Or at least package log files but that is slower cause then we gotta do more work to inspect the files.

Ok you told us the problem is with a 4 string mega tree but you did not show any pictures with a megatree setup and I'm not clear if you mean you have all 4 strings hooked to output 1 on the controller or 4 outputs.

Dont need any other connection from the f48 to the receiver other than the one I have. I can have a string of 200 lights work but cant get 4 strings of 50 to work other than the first 50

So still I gotta ask is that 4 strings on 4 outputs on the receiver card or 4 strings daisy chained on one output?  I don't know anything about those receiver cards I don't own one.  This doesn't sound like an xLights issue someone that knows that hardware will need to speak up or you need to go find them in a more relevant forum.

Your string port settings don't look correct at all.
First off you have Universe 10 Defined for All 4 outputs on that receiver card.
You're probably plugging your lights into one of the ports that are set up for 50 pixels.
You want to use the port that's marked PT1.
And like Gil said we would need more information to help you sort it out.
Maybe you get on Zoom and ask for some help.

also remember Falcon uses 512 channels per universe 
Port 2 should read universe 11 start channel 91
