Hello. First post and question about LED strip on F16 v 5

[Pappa Elf]

Hello everybody. Been dreaming about a lightshow for about 20 years now. Finally bit the bullet and bought the F16v5 and a bunch of goodies. everything is okay so far been working on sequences and such. Waiting on my Raspberry pie and will get in on the Zoom chat at some point. My question is about these LED strip lights I bought off Amazon to go in my arches. I hooked them up to the Falcon and it's not the right colors, just got some lights from Holiday Coro and waiting on more from Wired Watts. The ones from Coro are working fine. The strip is WS2811 from BTF which should be the same protocol as the other lights. Oddly some of the patterns match up while others are off. Any ideas? did I waste my money? Here are the ones I got: https://www.amazon.com/BTF-LIGHTING...8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1 but in IP65 waterproof.

Thank you and look forward to meeting cool folks.

working out of town so cant post screen shots .... your best to change the color order in xlights as it will then set the same color order in your falcon f16 ... change the default RGB to what ever your strips are
TIP: if your running a prop that is RGB and the next prop is GBR or something different ... you MUST set the color order of each prop on that port even tho it maybe the default RBG
