The...

    3 ring Star Help

    Is it an old star/design that was changed for this year? Have you uploaded to the F16v4? I changed some elements this year and couldn't get it all working correctly (only half the roof outline would light up). Then it finally twigged, I changed it in xlights and forgot to upload it to the...

    cheap enclosures?

    I have two of the below in my setup currently with cable glands on the side. Big enough to house a power supply, Falcon smart receiver and a power distro board. Clam vent each end and a 5v fan inside to help with heat extraction. So far so good with no water inside...

    F16v4 Smart Receiver Issue

    With the new day brings wisdom, or perhaps just showing my mistakes from the day before :unsure:. Found the issue this morning. Seem the cable I was using for the first prop was in fact an end cable. Data doesn't go in the data out end O_O. I have now removed the green wire so I don't make...

    Mega Tree Issue

    Only being new to this I had some issues myself. I think by looking at you tree configuration it doesn't look correct. For my 24 strand x 50 pixel tree I have the following setup (split over 4 ports). Strings = 4 Nodes = 300 Strands = 6 So by my thinking yours should be: Strings = 2 Nodes =...
