Why does XLIghts not use ZLIB for the ED Data !!! I have found that the facebook ZSTD need > 150KB to run, no matter how to try and contain the workspace for the algorithm, either Block, Raw or Stream. So for small micros, its 'impossible' to use ZHSD. So ZLIB works, typically 32KB, and works...

Please do not reply further if you do not know the answer. What you have posted doesn't help solve anything :-(

you URL sent me back to the forum home page, thats where this thread started. so what different strategy are you suggesting?

Xlights - trying to increase your TAM here ! we want to use your software for our controllers, but need to know how we can export a sequence for use in DMX fixtures, we need a format definition that is exported. we can see today you export for 'HinksPix controller' and assume its similar for...

When someone needs to run headless from a PC/MAC and run a standalone controller. Like the original question I posted for the HinksPix controller, they gave a method to extract the lighting sequence and timing, but the protocol is not listed, hence useless.

I don't mind the protocol, as long as: 1) the file format is downloadable directly from Xlights ( a) don't wish to use a 3rd party 'wheel' file to convert as adds too many steps, b) Need XLights to be successful hence need this for many other 3rd party micros to gain market penetration) 2)...

anyone ? in order to run XLIghts on more platfroms, we need to export the sequence to run on another controller, hence need the protocol

I need to know the format of the VSEQ V1 if that is the format of the HinksPix controller, or if this is the simplest type to implement, to be able to export from xlights to run a sequence. Of course we could implement our own algorithm for the sequence, but thats more coding for xlights or yet...

I need to run X Lights on a standalone controller which has SD card, and understands DMX, SACN, etc. Does anyone have the format for the HinksPix Export ? And is there any C code around 2 parse the SD card with this format?
