Just got these WS2811S samples from Ray. I am thinking about ordering 6500. I'm planning to create a matrix that covers the entire front of my house with the frosted globes at 3" spacing. I'll do a sample order of enough for one section first before I go crazy.

Actually I managed to get them working. Seems there wasn't enough bandwidth. I currently have them set to 2200 Kbps. If someone has a better recommendation I'd certainly be thankful :) I bought 12 of these tubes as a test and ADORE them. I'm going to place an order for another 120. Should...

Would anyone happen to know optimal settings for TM1812 when used with ECG products?? I've tried TM180X and the tubes will light, but I'm not getting data. Perhaps data rate is insufficient? These Tubes came with 4 wire and no diagram (of course). They have connectors already soldered. One is...

Does anyone know if the P12R or P2 can control the following tubes:http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/milky-1m-long-TM1812-controlled-LED-full-color-video-tube-16segments-16pixels-DC12V-input-IP68-rated/701799_839533812.html Joshua 1 System's website states "Pixel string protocols are...

I created a blog entry that discussed how to make to include pictures. I'm happy to offer up any help or suggestions if you'd like. Originally I had the radio signs mounted to the top of the house, but the city asked me to take them down because they could be considered "advertising". I took...

Welcome! I live in Hollywood, Florida (Broward County). What part are you from??

With careful controller placement both can equally do the job. The P12R has a much smaller limit to the number of pixels each output can drive (170 for the P12R vs 680 for the P2), however the P12R has 12 outputs whereas the P2 only has 2. P12R has nice features, like a built-in test pattern...

Exactly. I plan on laying low after this :)

For those who follow us on Facebook or have visited our site we'll be on CBS Miami news next Wednesday the 19th. I'm excited and nervous at the same time We're just shy of 20,000 lights, with about 9000 of those being RGB LEDs. Certainly not the biggest show in town, but probably one of the...

I installed the newest build and did a quickie test. Output may have been improved with no changes to ms, etc. I'll continue to make changes over the coming weeks, although I need to sequence a few after Christmas songs. I've already had enough of the 14 I have. I'm going to need some...

I'm seriously starting to question my LSP purchase. It can't even drive a few hundred pixels. I've got 9000 pixels setup in Madrix and it runs smooth as butter. I shouldn't have to do cheesy workarounds just to get the bare minimum functionality out of a product. Guess I'll keep running...

So I finally made the effort to try to get my pixels into LSP. I have a few hundred in now spread across several controllers but when I add a macro and play the output it's choppy as hell. Running the latest LSP on Win8 x64. Quad -core machine. When I play in the visualizer everything looks...

Installed the update, and after reconfiguring the scheduler my show started right up. No more annoying Renard output pop-up :) Hopefully I'll get some time to sequence this weekend so see what else has been addressed.

Thanx Eddy. I also had some issues controlling some of the elements in my 26 Universe setup so I'm using a mix of LSP and Madrix. I tried E1.31/DMX input from LSP to Matrix with some limited success. Is there also a bug setting channel output? From my experience I can set the intensity of a...

I've got my show running, but every day when the show starts I get a dialog asking me to configure my Renard output. Is there any way to work around this?? Seems silly to have a scheduled to kickoff the show, but it can't remember my stuff is already configured. Thanx!
