Hi Guys. I did some more testing last night. I found that with more light strings connected, the flickering was less pronounced. I had originally tested with only 1 string of 500 LEDs (250 each polarity). Once I connected 6 strings it smoothed out significantly, but still has a bit of flicker -...

Hi. I am likely the user that contacted you by email. I have flashed the new FW, but I am still having this problem. I did notice that my PIC is a PIC16F887. Alan didn't mention this in his previous post so not sure if that would make a difference. EDIT: I see the PIC16F887 now. I did program...

I do! I didn't know they had that. I'll check it out.

Thanks for your quick input! Yes. I know about Big Buttons and have used it before. That would work, but it is a bit cumbersome for this purpose. It may be a custom arduino build perhaps. I am trying to input dmx (via artnet or e1.31) into a master console. This is more for theatrical lighting -...

Hi to all the super genius guys on here What is the best (and cheapest) way to accomplish outputting to an artnet or e1.31 channel with a button press or analog input? I would like to output 0 for button off or 255 for button on. Also from 0-255 with an analog input. I think I could use a Pi...

Couldn't you just run the 12V for the led through the mag switch to simplify? They sell NO/NC versions at Jaycar.

I'd be interested in an F16v3

So I have just updated my firmware. It worked! Thanks for the help. I am running the SanDevices e6804 version 5.030 beta firmware. It is working well. On to building my displays...

Thanks for the quick replies! Bendigo was an old nickname I had from way back when I was playing video games in my parents basement:) It just stuck. Just checking into firmware now. I thought I had the most recent firmware, but I now see a note on the SanDevices website that the firmware...

Hi all. I have just moved to Australia (Sunshine Coast QLD) and am setting up my house for Christmas. I have just had a delivery of some new 5v ws2811 pixels from Ray Wu and some 5v WS2812B strips. I am driving them from a SanDevices e6804. I am seeing two different behaviors: 1. WS2812B...

I'd be interested in price!

Hi guys. I'm a Canadian boy over visiting family for Christmas. I'm staying with my in-laws in Bella Vista and have managed to put up a star on the roof and some lights around the house. Nothing fancy here. Just interested in learning how you Aussies get along. Back home in Canada I did a...
