Another thing about the wiring. Have you investigated how power is fed into the LEDs? With 24VDC, no more than 5 can be connected in series. Yet I do not see series/parallel connections in the wiring.

You do not discuss the wiring. On my set of 400, 2 wires run to feed 200. At the first LED, there are 4 wires. Thereafter, there are 4 wires, it appearing that 2 run the length of the 200, while 2 go in to an LED, & 2 come out. Have you looked further into the light string?

Hi, Keith. I just bought the falcon f16v5, where I can find the falcon interface or page the do the set up?

Update: For the Hinkspix, xLights will now display the smart remote id’s as 0, 1, 2 etc.. instead of A, B, C etc.

I am very interested in this. Subscribed. I am extremely suspicious of the current always online closed box devices available by a certain brand name. Also I am interested in teaching my son some practical engineering (and myself).

Pleased to find a video on such a specialized topic. Hats off to you, sir!

my lights are simply not playing. I'm manually starting them and nothing. this worked last year just fine. The only thing that's changed is a IP address change but it shows active "green" in scheduler so idk what is going on with this horrible software its really frustrating me. sorry.

How to configure pixel peace stakes with 5 pixel/ stake x 40 on F16v4 to run in Xlight? Thanks.

Did you just use a tester to run the pixels for this?

I have about 5 pixels throughout my icicles that are stuck on blue. How would this F-test show if it’s a data or bad pixel?

Great but i could not geta fseq file to work so ijust updated to new firmware and all worked. Thank you work the f prop controller config in xlights.

Thanks for the video!

Has anyone actually got this up and running?

Very cool board. Thank you for the rundown. Any plans for WS2812b protocol?

How do you update the firmware on the F-test when you have it on the SD card

Can we map the keyboard to the jukebox?

Does the micro sd card have to only be used for this prop or can you use one being used for something else? Since it doesn’t have to stay in the board?

Hey Keith. Excellent tutorial...as always. This is such a great product. So many possibilities. Here is your F-prop in action. Two singing props 283 nodes each. 1 prop per output. The first round of programming is set up so that on power-up a sequence plays with music and no talking. I have a PIR sensor mounted on the front of the prop. When a person approaches the props...it triggers a talking sequence to play. Once the sequence completes...the board returns to play the background sequence until movement triggers the event again. Very cool. Thank you again for all your great work and an awesome product! ua-cam.com/video/_EJQzQoX688/v-deo.html

😀 cool tool * THANKS *

Hello Keith. Thanks for the expert rundown on the F-prop device. See you next week in Sydney.

I'm trying to import my Vixen 3 sequences and not having any luck. thinking maybe this would work. but I don't know how to create a data layer when I click data layer there is nothing for me to select.

Amazing, I've been looking for this type of functionality from other software but never knew it was hiding in xlights the whole time. Question, if I have multiple controllers in use, how do I set up the loopback ip in xlights? Do I set the same loopback ip for each?

Thank you Keith.

Can you make a new updated video on how we can compile and build executables file on windows??

Has support been added for APA102 pixels?

Trying checkASequence but get E:\xLightsShow\Sequences>c:\Users\morry\checkAsequence BabySharkMetal.xsq E:\xLightsShow\Sequences>"c:\program files\xlights\xlDo.exe" -v -c "{\"cmd\":\"checkSequence\", \"seq\":\"BabySharkMetal.xsq\"}" -s result.cmd Creating script: result.cmd. Command: {"cmd":"checkSequence", "seq":"BabySharkMetal.xsq"}. Command after parameter replacement: {"cmd":"checkSequence", "seq":"BabySharkMetal.xsq"}. xLights response has error code: 503. {"res":503,"msg":"Sequence not found."} but sequence is there?

I've just been exploring a Twinkly festoon PCB and I'm wondering if it uses two voltage thresholds below 24V. Possibly a sync pulse for each start of frame? There are two resistors connecting from the positive rail to the green and blue LED driver pins. It's amazing they can thrash as much data along a pair of wires without swapping polarity RS485 style.

Awesome, so how does one add and connect, say, two LOR CB16 controllers for a total of 32 channels? I've imported singing tree sequences (AC) from LOR, but I've not had any luck with the various methods I've viewed on YT to connect via the LOR RS485 dongle. Do they have to be set to DMX?

Did we give up on this?

Hi Keith, I just started using xlights to run my pixel matrix. Do you have a video that shows you how to change each pixel on matrix?

This video was done two years ago, and it saved my bacon just today. Yes, a few technical things could be improved (screen size and clarity), but I was able to follow it. I had searched all over, watching a few other videos, and then found this one. It is very straightforward and easy to follow. I set up my 16-port LR Receiver from HC in several hours. Next time, I believe it will take me half that. Many thanks for the tutorial! Merry Christmas. 👍👍🎄😁

any luck? Just had a Festoon controller die on me, looking to reproduce one. Worst case I can unsolder the ESP32WROOM and use in another circuit :-P

Keith, I'm having trouble. The grid keeps snapping passed my audio and I can never really get the lights to go with my audio.

My notes are not importing. not sure what the problem is. is there maybe a size cap for midi? it completely halted my sequencing

Is it possible to set the power level - I run my show at 30% power and want to emulate that. Thanks!

Good morning Keith, How can you delay a song list in between, let say 5 sec. per song.?

where can i buy QED3110? when I want to order it in Slovakia?

Hi Keith. Great to hear an Aussie voice. Yes I’m leaving my November light rush very late. I imagine you’ll hear from me sometime in the future.

I’m someone who will only be using XL to control my traditional light show. I have no plans to use pixels or anything similar at this present time. I just recently downloaded XL and I’m trying to watch videos like this to learn.

I had 2 models overlapping some how. I used the fix start channel option and it removed the model from the controller that model doesnt show up in visualize. How can that be fixed?

Any websites where things like this are discussed?

Hi, Keith! Can you tell me how to use the Twinkly 3D model import feature? I saw it in the release notes, but I'm not sure how to use it. Thanks for all you do!

"Promosm"

I remeber when I asked about this 3 years ago. One of the developers said this would never happen. Alas, it finally has. I am very happy to see this.

Hi Keith - As you know, xlights is not great for controlling DMX fixtures. I want to simply be able to add MIDI notes to the timeline in xlights, so I can have my other software thats good at running DMX trigger based on the MIDI note played on the timeline. Playing MIDI notes on a timeline seems like something that is pretty common among applications to trigger events. xscheduler could local loopback the MIDI notes, so my other applications could trigger lighting scenes.

How does this handle sequences and other sub directories. Specifically media, picture files, palettes, etc?

Hey Keith! So, in my halloween folder i can just delete all the Christmas models from it, correct? Thank you guys for all you do for us pixel peons by the way! Extremely helpful for sure!
