This varies wildly. Some people brought someone along who they expected would be interested, only to find out they are not interested at all, and are gone in half a song, or who just roll by without getting out of the car. A few have plopped lawn chairs on the sidewalk and tried to establish...

They're building an ANGLE rendering variant of xLights. Instead of native GL drivers it uses ANGLE (OpenGL ES 3.0 translated to Direct3D 11 on Windows, Vulkan on Linux). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANGLE_(software) You cannot do both old and new way in the same binary so there are 2 binaries.

It's an excellent prop that will serve you well, glad you got it working.

Now, because the first part of the video is not there, I am not sure if you have the spinner approximately upside down or wound the wire the opposite way or have the video flipped. Which way was up? (It doesn't line up with the mounting fasteners, which could get confusing later.) This is...

The simplest explanation still is that it's off a bit somewhere. Extract this zip, put your controller info into the layout, upload output, render, and output to lights... take some photos of the different sections of the sequence. Maybe we can find it. View...

When you say "If i alter the nodes to suit say the spinners , then the rings are out of sync" what change did you have to make? Maybe the detail there will be a clue. Surely there is some fiddly difference with the wire path vs the model... I would check the start+end+string joints carefully...

Some other questions - how many controller ports did you set it for, and what start nodes?

Does yours have a wiring path on it like this? https://efl-designs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/326744987_722493346146386_6848229485906405371_n.jpg

Tell me about the "commercial DMX adapter". Was it sold in a pair (on Amazon)? Some of those are nonstandard and only work as a pair. These work: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0968QP7WM But the rest I tried (often with a bit of cord on them) didn't. But am suspicious that you can have more...

Let's take off the table anything you could do with expensive load sharing PSUs. Then yes, 2 is the limit for attatching to the Baldrick 8. As circled. In rounded-off numbers, an LRS-350-12 puts out 30A and the board takes 4x7.5=30A. Nicely balanced. 7.5A will run a lot of pixels. And 7.5A...

What kind of pixels and what voltage? 1. Splitting a board into multiple smaller PSUs is pretty common. The number is limited by the comtroller board, which will have terminals for groups of (generally) 4 or 8. The small PSUs are popular because they're cheap, but you can use whatever. Use...

Agree. If it happened to you, it's a thing. A pixel that flakes out after a while, or after the voltage drops due to the other pixels being lit, takes out the part of the string that follows. It happens, different details for some kinds of pixels than others. One recommendation... if you...
