    What software to use?

    So I took a hiatus for a while, now looking at what to setup and looks like Lightshow Pro went kaput? What should I try now? Can't remember exactly what controllers I had but I am pretty sure it's an Sandevices e682 + DC12V WS2811 LED technicolor pixels.

    Lights for boats - Fishing.

    Brother bought a boat, but I add a bit to it. They sure do suck up the money. I see there are 10w RGB spotlights with stainless steel housings and a remote for 15 each so I may try two of those for the fish lights and just leave set to green. Hardest part seems to just be finding a housing for...

    Lights for boats - Fishing.

    Apologies if this is in the wrong topic area, mods can move it to the right one (Is the family room the correct one?). Asking on ausxmaslights forum as I figured people here would know quite a lot about weatherproofing and LED lights, suppliers, PWM dimmers, etc. I believe green is the colour...

    Lights for boats - Fishing.

    So recently got a boat and would like to add some underwater lights to attract squid and the fish food chain, what recommendations do people here have for a decent efficiency setup with great water and salt resistance? Was thinking something in the cree family. There are dedicated bunglights...

    Gutless Vandals

    I hope they catch them. http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/wa/20117374/vandals-smash-christmas-lights-display/ is this it? Where I live we usually get drunks walking past late at night, might need to leave a camera out there but hopefully the dog will go bananas. Hopefully they'll just be...

    Police??

    Ask them to cite exactly which laws are broken and what laws allow them to take it. They're probably trying scare tactics.

    Lsp channel mapping?

    110pixels is the gutter pixels 151 is 5 archs of 30, the between 3rd and 4th arch is a null pixel (91) 600 pixels = 30 pixels wide, 20 high pixel strips matrix The other bit is 60channels of DC15, in the e682 it just lists how many pixels on the string which is 20 (but they're not just pixels...

    Problems with Ray Wu?

    Haven't heard anything about extending order. I'll find a way around it, but I'll have to cut up and resolder the starting points on each lead to get the locking ring on whenever they arrive. Worst part is 3-5 days between replies to emails, and for my order it took a few weeks to find out...

    My order is missing the 4 pin pigtails completely, and the locking rings for 3pin pigtails + the lil red rubber seals. Replies to emails are around a week apart.

    Pigtail pinouts for technicolor

    Ah sweet, thank-you. I guess that's why they didn't work. Had a string of 10 that would blow the fuse straight away when wired with 12v and ground reversed as one of the pictures I saw for them showed. Once I double check it all works i'll try post some more easily understood pictures so...
