Looking for ideas. For my daughters show choir, I'm running 37 Espixelsticks - each one is on a costume and controlling just over 200 seed pixels sewn on to each costume. The lights are powered by a 5v power bank. The problem is that I've been battling lag on a few of the costumes - I have done some improvements over the last month but nothing seems to help. I'm looking for suggestions.
Here's what I have: I'm running xlights in jukebox mode for this live show. I've hard connected my laptop to the network switch...which is connected to a Nanostation M2 access point. Each Espixelstick is set to run in multicast and has a static IP. This is a stand alone show network, not connected to the internet. I'm also connected to a Kulp K16 that controls lights on the set. This is hardwired and I'm not experiencing any problems with it.
Attached are screenshots of the setup.
The Espixelsicks are running 3.2 firmware. I would upgrade to 4.0 beta 5 if someone thought it would improve/fix the problem.
As these are costumes, hardwiring them is not an option.
Thanks for any suggestions. If you want to see a video of the show - here's a link. The costume lights kick in at 7:40.
