Latest version = 3.16.0.0
This is the final version of this program. Please switch to Twinkly Master.
3.16.0.0:
Ton of bug fixes (Ill itemize them later)
Enhancements to prevent large models from breaking the ui.
DMX mode. This is designed for home edition lights so you can control them from a dmx panel. It mirrors the functionality in pro controllers exactly, so it doesn't work on pro controllers through my program. This feature works but it's not fully fleshed out so YMMV. Anyone can try it until march 1st.
Artnet 2 Twinkly contains many features that do not exist anywhere else.
-
Pro and Gen 1 device support
-
Change brightness of individual grouped devices.
-
Force groups together.
-
Back-up/restore layouts.
-
Device and group mapping editor.
-
back-up/import/export mapping as XModel, Chamsys, WLed, Lightorama, or json -- either the whole layout or just part of it.
-
Configure entire groups at once (online only).
-
Change length of some Twinkly devices such as Line to support more than one extension or a custom length.
-
Virtual Grid
However, it is not cross-platform and suffers from display scaling in the UI .
3.0m available here. This extension cable is designed to work with the 24v Twinkly power supplies and strings, and goes inbetween them.
I will combine shipping if you buy multiple. It is quite expensive to just ship one unit.
Note: Mac and windows version may not always release on the same day.
Current version Windows: 2026.1.10.
Windows install instructions: Unzip and install

Current status: Fully usable. There are a few features still missing that Artnet 2 Twinkly has but this has some unique ones also.
Why you may want to choose Twinkly Master over Artnet 2 Twinkly:
1. It runs on MacOS and Windows.
2. You can treat a mixed rgb/rgbw group as rgb.
3. You can force any device to rgb.
You can install some twinkly effects on device, (a work in progress)
You can play fseq files directly in the program (no audio support yet) and act as a slave fpp device.
Setup is easier.
Exporter is updated to use new compressed xlights model format.
Exporter will not crash with string overflows ever.
Exporter has heuristic code to fit models into the allowed bounds by "massaging the data".
Huge models load much faster, everywhere in the program.
Not super-useful (yet), but can preview Music Dongle spectrum display.
This free stl allows you to use pixel props or megatree strip designed for bullet pixels with Twinkly Pro or Plus strings.
Important note: Twinkly lights that have more than three wires are slightly larger and you may have to file. A 250 string will have up to four of them.
