I'm using 4 sets chained together from one power supply, so just the end of the last set is getting that pinkish hue, I think I will power inject about midway and see how that goes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, I don't think the brightness thing will matter too much, so If I just wire from the power supply to the end of the lights on 12v+ and negative rail on the lights, that should work fine? It won't sort of backfeed and cause any issues? Thanks

Thanks for all the replies, you have given some ideas. I think I just had it configured it wrong, Now I am getting something a bit closer to what I have. I'll have to count the spirals when I get home and work out how many there are. Also has anyone used the generate custom model...

Hi All, I have a couple of frames I bought from Bunnings and have wound them with 100 nodes each. Problem is that I am having trouble trying to create the model in xLights. I tried the standard Tree model and tried to modify it but it doesn't look quite right. I did find a custom model that...

Thanks I'll try it, that's exactly the effect I have right now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, What's the best way to power inject when using pigtail connectors?, They are on a set of icicles and Ray said not to send voltage back the other way, so I assume I just cut the pigtail and splice another set of wires on? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi All, Sorry for the delay in responding, I have it finished now and all lit up. I will post some pics later when I get home, it's on the roof now, so hopefully I can get some decent pics. It has clips on it for the existing LEDS that come with it so may fit Pixels not sure. I just used...

Ha!, you guys are awesome thanks!

Hi All, The wife found some plastic stars at Kmart for about $6 ea. They come as a star within a star and have white leds running over them powered by a battery pack. The leds are easily unclipped and then I just flipped it over and attached some RGB strip to it. I had to cut up small strips...

Hi Pete, Welcome, I myself was in the same position about a month ago. It is very late in the year to get started. You probably need to start with deciding on a controller and get that sorted, there are a few around. I purchased a Falcon F16v2 controller which you can get in Australia. As...

Hi Alec, Just wanted to let you know that after the setup video, I got my panels all up and running. It's so easy to upload the new config, and I like how it's fairly standalone. Now just to make some sort of enclosure....

Thanks All, I just needed to reverse the ground and data wires as was suggested in the thread. Ray sent me an updated wiring diagram for the pigtails. The one he had supplied with the initial order was wired the other way around. Cheers for the help :) :)

Thanks for the suggestions I will check again when I get home. On the string that I cut the pigtail off, I think I wired the wires correctly as per the diagram on the circuit board on the node. and the flow of data was going with the arrows. When you say it fails to the first node if plugged...
