Hello,
Firstly I am a complete noob and have been playing with a rasbpi3 and a smartalec pihat.
(I figured it was a cheap and easy way to control a string or two of ws8212 led strips (60 led pm) (300 per string) (5m)
I so far have been able to get FPP setup on the pi
And can use the test sequence and the test sequence panel all seem to work 100%, no issues with flickering or anything,
I have not been able to use vixen at all as I cannot work out how to setup the controller,
I have managed to get xlights working and can upload sequences to the fpp, it mostly works and can control it all, but I seem to get flickering (data issues - bits of strip flash different colours even if I don't have the full strip programmed into xlights.
I'm puzzled as to why the test sequence fpp tool has no issues but sequences do,
(I am using the 10cm connecter that comes from the strips to plug directly into power supply and pihat so I don't think the wiring/length is the issue?) (Did have longer wires between but switched to short connection to try and diagnose this issue)
Many thanks for your help in advance
Ben
