Timothy Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 So now that it's dark I can see a problem I'm having with how things are set-up. When running the show, I have a couple areas on my tree that do not light up. I'm fairly certain that it's because the Pixcon16 is set for 170 nodes and I'm only using 50 node strings. I think that this is the problem because when I light up universe 1 and 2 I see this. Strings 1-3 are universe 1 but it goes 20 into the next string. I looked around and didn't see anywhere where I could change the setting in the pixcon. Any ideas/help on how to correct, I'm all ears. Thank you in advance.

Timothy Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 Wait, I did set the number of pixels so that's not it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Does that match your preview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 That config on the Pixcon16 is commonly called packed pixels or packed universes. It certainly will work, but is generally not recommended for beginners as it is more complicated to set up. BTW, my first few years with E1.31, I also ran packed pixels - but I had to because of the controller I was using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the tree as a package deal that came with 5 sequences. I set everything up like their instructions said to and even their sequences don't display correctly.

The last time I looked they played fine but now they are not. I'll dig into the preview settings and see what changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 Got it. I must of selected the wrong preview and never double checked everything was working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went away for a while but then came back. The pixcon isn't saving the output settings with the correct channels. It keeps reverting back to default for some reason. Is there a jumper I need to remove perhaps? Kind of like when setting an AC controller ID? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
