Xlights with Dig Quad. When I run a sequence it appears the lights are running the sequence but the lights flicker. They may be flickering when they are dimming in the sequence. Running 12v, 600 nodes, GPIO pin 16. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi.
Distance between the controller and the first pixel?
Version of dig quad?
Type of wire used to connect the controller and the strip/string?
What resistence selected by microswitches?

try updating to 13.3 I think there were some flicker issues with older versions of WLED.

Thanks. I’ll give it a try. Fingers crossed.
That did the trick. Transitions are flicker free.
I appreciate your help.

Everything worked great since your recommended upgrade. My flickering returned today. Reflashed with 13.3, checked connections, rebooted Wled, restarted xlights. Any other suggestions. By the way I don’t have a flicker running Wled only.

Strange. I would maybe try a different version of xlights to see if maybe there is a bug in whatever version you have as they are updating it all the time. You could also try the xlights zoom room. I hear the people in there are amazing at figuring things out.
