Thanks Alan, didn't know about that site.

It's 100% a cheap batch of pixels bought during covid. I have had 2 previous failures where a pixel or two burnt out. Minor damage which in hindsight should have been a red flag to remove the whole batch. But pixels are not cheap, and they have been working for 3-4 yrs so just replaced the...

I should be able to salvage one arch, and I'm lucky the tree it was right next to didn't go up.

Nothing quite like a knock at the door late at night to tell you your lights are on fire. Here’s the aftermath of what was a mini tree. 12v pixels only running at 40% brightness. Pretty sure these were a batch bought during COVID. Looks like I’m checking the rest tomorrow in the light.

All sorted now thanks to Alan.

No change. - Settings saved and FPPD restarted. :(

Thanks will give that a try now.

Hi Alan, I'm after some help with the HE123-RX please. I think I am missing something in the setup. I've read the manual a few times now but cant figure out what I'm doing wrong. Using channel testing from FPP, if the pixels are plugged into Port 1 of the HE123 all works as expected. When I...

Hi Joshaaye, This is my 3rd year with pixels. I started with Allan's (Hanson Electronics) RPi-28D as I already had a Pi floating around, was an inexpensive way to start and experiment with a couple of strings of LED'S. This forum and Allan were great with support as I fumbled my way through...

Have you tried changing the node colour order. RGB, GRB, BRG etc.

Thanks Al, all resolved now. I followed a youtube tutorial and had 5 separate universes. Reconfigured with a single universe and all works perfectly.

I'll go check. It's not the end of the world if i don't resolve it this year. It will just drive my inner OCD mental. Thx

Hey Franky Thanks for the reply. So, I've been tinkering, I have 3 window frames all in series off a single channel of a pi hat from Hansons. With power injection at the mid point so I'm not experiencing voltage issues. Last 4 pixels on the centre window and the 3rd window display a different...

Hi All Been stalking in the background for about a year now absorbing enough info. Finally deploying Pixels this season. I've run into my first issue, so which forum would be best to discuss issues with pixels displaying incorrect colour when run in bridge mode from Xlights. Pixels display...
