Ok I will do it with data and ground from the controller. Do these negatives grounds from the cat6 terminate on the ground on the fuse block or go straight to the F8?

So the only difference I see is that your Cat6 carried both data and ground to the pixel (plus a seperate ground from the PSU), whereas my suggestion above was just to carry data over the cat 6 and have the ground connected directly to the PSU. Would the Cat6 grounds just terminate at the F8...

Just thinking about how I can minimise the cabling as 32 Xconnect 3 metre cables running to the F16 is pretty messy and seems to be heavy for my door which struggles to open. So can someone check this plan for me for me to see if it works? 1200 watts 12v PSU -> 5Amp inline fuse -> f16v4 with 1...

I am just about to use a 1200w 12v Pc power supply to power a falcon f48. Should I use a fuse between the power supply and the falcon and what size? Or just rely on the fuse on the board?

Do you attach the seeds to guy wire? I would think that guy wire cable tied to the seeds would stop them moving too much, but I guess that isn’t your experience?

Liquid electrical tape works a treat. Been using it for years without any problems. Can also get from Jaycar.

Hey Dom, yes I’m going to Vegas for the footy. Would be nice to catch up for a drink. And yes I have a couple of Baldricks (including the one i won at the Sydney mini)

I have something similar where I copied Kent’s design (thank you Kent for printing the plastic seed strips) but find the 28 cables from the falcon to the 28 strings quite bulky and when the door opens there is a risk that the cable will get caught in the door. How do you intend to connect the...

Ok that makes sense now. I will give that a go. Many thanks

Ok so I have a matrix consisting of 28 strings of 540 pixels at 3 strands/string. The first 16 strings are connected to the first 16 ports on the Falcon 16V5. then I have the first SRx2 connected to the Port 17-20 output on the Falcon 16V5 via a cat 5 cable. The second SRX2 is connected to...

Ok I'm a bit more confused now. Originally I had a Falcon F16 V 4 with 2 expansion Boards giving me 48 ports in total and with each port having 540 pixels. It died just before Christmas so I bought a F16v5 as the V4 was out of stock. I thought that by adding the 2x srx2 to the F16 would have...

I'm having something similar, but I can't seem to set the remote id for ports 17 onwards. I have 2 SRX2 connected to the falcon 16V5 with the first SRX set as A and the second is C. Both have the terminal switches on. When I try and set a remote ID, I click on port 17 and select Remote A...

Thanks Alan. Ordered

Yes that’s what I’m looking for. Thank you

Silly question, but those yellow connectors which go into the bald Rick power input, what are they called and where do you get them? I have found yellow connectors which take the larger wire garage, but have only found spade connectors which can’t be used in the power input terminals. The...
