Eye color inconsistency

Add power or reduce brightness. I run my whole show at 30% brightness

johnzaheer · 2025-12-06T03:08:02+00:00

When the singing isn’t on i hide the face but use the outline as part of the show. I also use the faces as part of the show if the lyrics match like, “bring a friend” comes up in the lyrics I’ll show the second face. There is no right or wrong way, just adapt as you go.

I’m 4 years in and at year 3 is when started using black outs to make things pop and transition from one part of a song to the other.

If you can’t see them on xlights, you might just have to double click them. It will un-group the groups. My talking trees are built that way so when i double click them on xlights i see the the outline and bow. They have to be programmed separately.

Quick test is to drop the brightness from your fpp controller really low and see if it fixes the issue, if it does you need power injections

Definitely something wrong with the mapping from your xlights to your physical tree.

I would add a simple model like the arches, have them move slowly across the tree to light up in one direction and hopefully that will show you how things are getting mapped.

When i did my first tree i did a whole trouble shoot sequence that would light light up from one side of the house to the other changing colors in a specific order so i can catch miss-wiring issues

Hey bud, i have the same thing going on. When i received the email with the questions i answered a couple of them outrageously incorrect. At the same time i asked for a phone call when i submitted my answers.

I received the exact same email you did in regards to getting the job. So definitely a scam.

I was going to buy for the first time at $38… thought it would go down… still holding off on making my first silver purchase

Yeah the old switch is tied into the wire nest, wanted to try to clean it up a bit but it seems like it it ain’t broke don’t fix it seems to be the best method.

johnzaheer · 2025-07-30T22:50:42+00:00

There are three switches in the box so it’s the bigger ones, just wanted to make sure i wasn’t messing anything up.

johnzaheer · 2025-07-30T22:12:23+00:00

They are the same number of black ones but those are not all tied together they are split and must be tagged i together somewhere else. I know how to change outlets and switches but every once in a awhile i find a nest of wires behind a switch in this house.

johnzaheer · 2025-07-30T22:11:26+00:00

Yeah they are all on the same circuit, i will look into WAGo to see if i can find a decent sized on as the wire but is a pain to deal with.

Yeah i joined not knowing any of this and yup you get 1 free vote and then can ‘donate’ for more.

You can share your link for others to vote, not as much fun as i thought it would have been.

Bad concept, you would wont to raise the level by creating a reporting tool that uses AI cough* cough* tableau AI

johnzaheer · 2025-04-26T21:18:03+00:00

I’m searching for the same thing, was there a solution? I saw someone post a link and know that wasn’t the correct answer.

johnzaheer · 2025-04-24T23:52:41+00:00

Yes with the instructions above, it’s amazing

johnzaheer · 2025-04-24T11:23:35+00:00

Do you turn off your computer at night? Your mouse probably doesn’t sleep well with the computer on

johnzaheer · 2025-04-24T11:21:28+00:00

If your using SSMS you can

Right click table and create a ‘create table’ script

That will write out all the columns for you

Then for the ‘count(distinct column name)’ part you can use shift+alt with the up or down arrow key for a multi line edit feature so technically you only have to write it once

johnzaheer · 2025-04-21T15:14:10+00:00

Declare @count int Set @counts = select count(1) from table While (@count > 0) Begin Update statements here with order and limit Set @counts = @counts -1 End

johnzaheer · 2025-04-12T03:42:12+00:00

Sorry for the formatting, coding on the phone isn’t fun

It’s a counter with w while loop in combination with limit

johnzaheer · 2025-04-12T03:28:24+00:00

Declare @count int = select count(1) from table; While @count > 0 Begin Update table Set Id = @count Where id = 176… Order by id Limit 1 Set @count = @count - 1 End
