I have successfully connected to and setup my network now. Thanks for the advice I am setting up a Hansen He123-rx Do I need to select "with expansion" in xlights or will it discover it natively?

So far I have just been following the manual and only connecting to the BB using usb tethering. Then the manual gives the address 192.168.6.2 for a Mac which is a usb ip but the browser doesn't connect I also read another person's post answered by D Kulp that said their usb wifi adapter may be...

Hi all I had a macbook crash and lost all my data. Attempting to set up my controller from scratch. I have the kulp k8 pb and I have formatted the SD card, installed fpp with balena etc her and then tried usb tethering I cannot connect to it via web browser for some reason. I have connected...

Quick update. I was unlucky enough that my Mac suffered some sort of error which bricked it. Had it to the techs and they got it going again but lost all data. So I am in the process of trying to get it workable again, so not much happened since the last conversation. When I get it working...

Resistance is about 1 to 1.2 between input and output ground. Perhaps I'll get my proper controller out and set it up.

I will check that tomorrow and see. I will switch out to some better wire also and see if there's any difference. Thanks

Yes. That's the same as what I was trying to say above. Thankyou. It's easier when you can see it

I have attached a few photos. Photo 1 is the controller Photo 2 is the power supply. It's generic and not the greatest wire but it's working. With these 2 a string of over 100 seed pixels will light up fine. Photo 3 shows my first test string wired and working with in and out connectors Photo 4...

Each time I have wired it and failed I've started again. I will wire it up again and take some photos. Appreciate the advice

Hi Mark. Thanks for the reply. They are 3 wire seed pixels. I have had similar results with my regulated DC power supply and 2 different power supplies so far.

Good point. I never thought I needed to but I'll double check from now

Just in the process of checking what I can still. The PSU are both the same voltage. The new test strings work fine. But I haven't yet tested and made another tee. I'll check the ends before connecting anything better to try and ensure it won't happen again.

I am just using an SP105E controller currently.

Hi. Sorry you are correct. It isn't very descriptive. Looks like it shorted somehow. I have had to remive some leds and have made a small testing string for now. I am using a small tester that generates patterns on the test bench instead of unpacking the controller. Can you confirm that what...

Hi Sorry I edited that. There is no second controller, that should have said "second power supply" The tee is connected after the 1st 50 pixels to inject new 5v power for the next 50
