HinksPix Pro Controllers & Long Range Receivers

[Jimadelaide]

Hi all, hope we are all well...

Just wondering if there are others out there that have purchased HinksPix Pro Controllers/Transmitters and Long Range Receivers.
I have purchased a bundle of these from Holidaycoro.
Last year I used the one Alphapix controller and have opted (without doing homework) to go with the HinksPix Pro way.
I basically have one controller/transmitter and 2x4 receiver and 2x16 receivers.
Have been trying to learn from the Youtube videos but just wanted to see if there was anyone in Australia that is using the same...I might need some help.
I live in Adelaide so that would be a bonus...willing to recoup the helps time costs...

Thanks in advance.
Jim

You might be on your own
I have seen a few people on FB forums recommend you use them in just plain E1.31 mode (don't bother with any of the hinkpix site or standalone stuff) and then just set them up much like any other controller.

They've been helping some guy on zoom setup a hinxpix pro, one thing they did just show was when you click on Upload Input or Upload Output in xLights you have to do it twice (some issue with hinpix not listening to xlights properly)

Yes, at this stage I am going to connect them via E1.31 mode as they are having slight issues with the standalone part although in time I would prefer to have it running stand alone.
