Could it have something to do with the speed of the network (baud rate) and is there any way to adjust that?

I'm using RJ45s, but I've crimped a crossover cable to convert the pinouts from 4&5 to 1&2

Hi all, I have this issue with both my LOR boards. I have made a crossover cable, and connect one of the boards on channel 17 to output 2 on the PixLite 16. There is another dumb controller on that universe, which works completely fine, until I connect it to the LOR unit. I cannot control is...

Noob question I know. Can anybody help me out? I've attached a picture. Just ordered a new 6803 pixel strip to replace a CCR that died on me. I can't work out which terminals on the strip are +, -, clock and data. Thanks

I must've bought them somewhere around 2011 I believe

I'm getting mixed responses.. which is confusing me Some are saying 2801, others are suggesting LPD6803. Have they changed the IC type over the years?

Hey guys, So i've screwed up one of the ribbons on my CCR, the SMD's have fallen off all over. What type of chip is used for the ribbon, and is there a place where I can buy a replacement that won't cost a fortune (not from LOR) Cheers

Was booked in to attend but due to the weather, we got flooded in and I couldn't make it. Hope everything went well this year, I'll be in attendance next year for sure.

I have a Ray Wu 24vdc PSU. I was wondering if it would be a wise idea or not to crank it up to say 28-30v? Has anybody done this before with positive or negative outcomes? I am drawing no more than 30w from it Thanks

Hi all, I'm running some DC icicle lights through a 6 channel RGB controller at 24vdc (they originally ran at 24vdc too). The problem is when I run them through the controller, they do not run at the same brightness that they ran at through the original power supply and multifunction...

If you need a hand organising next year count me in. It'll be good if we can prearrange a swap meet type system like bruce suggested

I hope to attend Sydney, although won't need to fly up :p

I'll give it a go sometime this week and let you know what result I get, I'll see if I can grab a photo too

Which power supply should I try connecting them straight to? The one from ray or the one that came with the lights?

Yes that's what voltage goes into the controller, but I am getting 24vdc out of the lights and they can run at 24vdc
