F4v3 Pixel Controller / Re: DMX problem with F4v3

RGB uses 3 channels and RGBW uses 4 channels.  Have you adjusted for the extra channel all the way through?  A picture of the following settings would be helpful.

  A print screen of your xlights string config

  A print screen of your F4v3 E1.31 page (If using E1.31)

F4v3 Pixel Controller / DMX problem with F4v3

Last post by Zcarpenter - September 21, 2023, 09:15:27 AM

I have lamp posts that I have RGBW LEDs in that are controlled through a DMX decoder that is hooked up to the DMX port on the F4v3. There are no pixels on this controller, only the DMX. The issue I have is that the white LED is turning with the red LED. It only happens with the red, giving me a very light pink color. the green, blue, and white LEDs all can come one on their own. And it's not a wiring issue, since if I use the test function on the decoder I get all four colors.

I've tried messing with the settings in the controller, but nothing seems to work. I have the universe set to only be 12 channels since I have 3 LEDs and the serial output is set to be at universe 1.

Has anyone had this issue before? Does anyone know how to fix it? Last year I had to just disconnect the white wire, but I have new LEDs this year and the white from using RGB is much a much cooler white than the other LEDs, and I know that the color of white matters a lot to those in charge of the show.

F16v4 Pixel Controller (Blue) / Re: Maximum Number of Schedule...

Last post by Poporacer - September 20, 2023, 10:53:53 PM

I'm setting up my first show and I want shows every 30 minutes with filler in between

I am not sure what you mean by filler, but people don't typically plan arrival times to come see light displays and if your show is playing a filler when they arrive, they will likely leave to go see a display that they can actually watch....Unless you have a good reason to make people leave, I would reconsider this option.

I am not sure what this filler is, but if it is a sequence, then just include it in your playlist and you would only need one playlist for the night.

I was trying to avoid setting up FPP the first year just to avoid any complexities

Using the Falcon as a show player is probably more complex than setting up FPP!

I would bet that if you rethink how you setup your playlist, you can figure out a less intensive schedule. Especially for your smaller show, just link a few sequences into your playlist and schedule that from 5 - 9 or whatever time you want to run it. It's pretty easy to make the filler sequences be "exact" so that the "show" can still run on the half hour. For example:
song 1 - 2:30
filler1 is 27:30
song 2 - 3:45
filler2 is 26:15
etc

BeagleBone Black Controllers / K16A-B Expansion Board

Last post by vttinman - September 20, 2023, 12:39:02 PM

Does anyone know if the older 16 port expansion boards from the F16-B are compatible with the K16A-B board?

NM, I answered my own question  - The older expansion boards have the 34 pin connector on them.

Last post by JonB256 - September 19, 2023, 08:01:23 PM

The first 4 universes are 4*510 = 2040  then add 480 to that, you get 2520

F16v4 Pixel Controller (Blue) / New Falcon F16v4 Troubles with...

Last post by Kurtriepma - September 19, 2023, 07:01:07 PM

Question, I have inputted the 840 pixel count from my matrix and it shows end universe of 5 and end of channel at 480. Not sure why it doesn't shoe end channel of 2520. Is this still correct. Also, when I have added the controller to xlights, it shows channels 1-2550 on the controller page. Any advice?
