I've recently found this remix; Yothu Yindi - Treaty (Radio Mix) It could become a really unique sequence with alot of yellow, red and brown(ish) View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPmDLR_M50M

I was on the aus.pixelcontroller website weeky for about 10 months last year, I was trying to get a backup F16V3 or V4, I must of been very unlucky as every time they were always out of stock. Fortunately I was able to get a new one, second hand off this very website. Keep an eye out on the for...

My centre pole is made out of two pieces of 50mm galvanized pipe, connected together via a coupler. It makes take down and storage a breeze, the only issue, and fortunately it hasn't happened to me yet, but the coupler is a weak point, if the wind was strong enough, it could possibly break first...

I definitely wouldn't recommended PVC as your centre pole, unless it 100% protected from any winds. The whole tree turns in, pretty much a sail when the wind catches it! And anything out of PVC would just snap or bend. My centre pole is made out of galvanized steel, it's held up for two seasons...

If you can't find pixels to replace the star white LEDS, I'd consider removing the star and replacing it with a coro prop. That or, once you've removed the white LEDs from the star perhaps a rubber grommet to accommodate a pixel or 3D print a grommet. The tree LEDs are 3-wired addressable...

Great to see some new Perth members, welcome all!

I do the same as scamper and I've had no failures in my arches. It's important not to put tension on the soldered joint. You need tension so that the strip lays flat inside the tube so it has a more uniform glow to it, reinforce and secure the strip, but also the pig tail. I 3D printed something...

That's promising to hear Paul, Its strange I bought your Ray pixels in 2021 no issues, but the 2022 ones, had this occasional failures, and the issue was always the same, data line issue. Expect a pre-order from me soon!

G'day Paul, will you only be selling pixels from Ray Wu or could you offer an alternative supplier? I'm hesitant to order his pixels again with the 40+ failures I had this season,

Sequence purchased from pixelperfectsequences.com

I bought my pixels through a 3rd party in Australia, so not entirely sure who manufactured them. If I had to guess i'd say they would be from Ray Wu. The ones I purcahsed from the same 3rd party 2 years ago, all 100% working never a fault, but the lot this year....I've replaced at least 25 so...

Well my setup is 98% completed, tested and working, but MY GOD I've had my fair share of issues this season! Some of them are my own doing, hardware or configuration issues. but the issues that really grind my gears are things that go wrong that I had nothing to do with, primarily circuit board...

Close, 414 pixels, 18 strands, 23 pixels per strand. Power injection point at 207th pixel. A welcome, unplanned, surprise is I didn't need to cut the pixels from strand to strand at the bottom, that saved me ALOT of soldering

And we're done! 1 down 3 more to go.

Yes I've noticed the F48 has been in stock for a while, not what I'm after though. Yeah I missed them, hence the term "periodically", I guess I'm just unlucky..I'll keep checking and see if I can get lucky.
