https://mattosdesigns.com/en-au/products/copy-of-black-friday-sasquatch-megatree-kit if you're chasing a kit. Just assemble and add pixels. Out of stock variants will be back instock in the new year apparently

Fair point. I would have thought there would be more demand that's all but I guess even lead in wires and connections would be different per person so that takes away the standardization. Thanks

My question is why can't you buy (as example only) the Impression Gingerbread train ( https://christmaspropsaustralia.com.au/product/impression-gingerbread-train/ ) that takes 1010 pixels, a single string of pixels 435 with space then 360 space then 215 pixels for the 3 pieces in sequence Now I...

Hi Mikey, How is is going? Did you sort out your Rack? I'd love to see what you came up with as I'm building right now and could incorporate the idea potentially

Ok so today I bought a Raspberry PI 4. I still have 1 data point running outside but I'll use the Pi and a separate switch to run my controllers. Seems that what most people do. Now to build my control box. I've seen some great boxes on here and some messy as ones. Lets see how I go lol. I have...

Hi Julie, I bought the advatek system as this is my first year using pixels. Advatek sell pigtail kits to which you can solder 3 wires to your pixels. I'm doing that for this year. I also just purchased a Falcon controller and will be using XConnect pigtails on my new pixel strings. Is there a...

Thanks. I'll look into a weather proof patch box outside on the wall and all controllers can run back to that

I'm building a new home and was wondering how everyone links there PC (Software) to their controller boxes? Do you literally have 5 data cables running outside to connect to the controllers? I've looked through here already and can't find examples of connections back inside? I know some systems...

That's correct. Not in expanded mode but I can see where to enable it. Pretty keen now as I'm learning more & more :)

This is the Advatek plug n play system. Whilst it may be easier for beginners, now I can see why people buy controllers and power supplies separately & make their own. Should have my Falcon controller within a couple of weeks, then I'll have better control. Spending so much $ at the moment and I...

Don't laugh :)

So as you know advatek are 4 pin. I purchased their connector wires which I'll solder to later on. For now it's crude. I used their manual to determine which wire was which and had it working in the test mode on the advatek assistant, just not in xlights. How do I connect 3 pin pigtails to the...

Doesn't work but when I do it. The advatek outputs are 4 pin. My WS2811 are 3 pin so I've cut the connectors and wired it myself. Doesn't like that :)

I went back to the Advatek SK6813 led strip I bought with the controller to learn with. Got it outputting and working fine. But the moment I change the assistant back to WS2811 & swap light strings over I'm getting nothing. Seems the strings are the issue at this stage. SK6813 5m string is...

Just the one and currently both PC & controller are next to each other connected to the router
