My second year. My show is close to being done. I fired it up tonight and it seems to be choppy. The smooth fades seem to jump. Example... 0-100 in one second looks like 0 then 25% then 50% then 75% and then 100. No smooth transitions. I checked Vixen and it is set to 0-255. I do not know if it is hardware or software problem. Running Vixen 2.0. I have the show going through a smart string hub. The pixelnet was the first up on the shows instalation. Then the roof lights, Holdman star, posts and icicles. I tested that much and it was perfect. Tonight I added several more things and run the same 3 songs I had set up in the scheduler. (I did run the show before I plugged in the new items and it was choppy to start with.) Now it is jerky and choppy. My sequences are at 25ms and they worked a few nights ago so the speed is fine. I have only 220 rectangle nodes it a straight line ( 110 feet). They are 40 per controller times 5 and the last section is 20. A few nights ago I have a part in the song where the blue shoots from one side to the other and it was very smooth. Tonight it looks like it lights the first 40 then the next 40 etc. More like each controller lighting up all its nodes instead of one node at a time. I rebooted the show computer. Unplugged the dongle and plugged it back in and started the show again. It acted the same.
Any ideas?
