There's a script you can run on FPP for the Pi that automatically changes the volume up and down every few seconds. It doesn't fix the "robot audio" but it greatly reduces the impact. https://falconchristmas.com/forum/index.php/topic,1909.msg20111.html#msg20111

I bought a couple of these and have used them over the past two years, they work great as a supplement to my sequenced lights: Laser Christmas Lights, eLander™ RGB (Blue&Green&Red)Outdoor Waterproof IP65 Star Projector Holiday Light Garden Light Landscape Laser Light with Wireless with Remote...

I got some screw anchors and use vinyl covered stranded wire cable with crimp-on clamps to fasten it to the screw anchor on one end and expensive fixtures on the other. It'll slow someone down if they try to grab something. Dennis the Menace

What R-packs do you have in your 682s? I had the stock R-packs (270 ohms I think) and it wouldn't work with mine, had to swap them out for 33 ohm ones, which work fine. Dennis the Menace

I think how they work is each Pixel compares the DI data stream with the BI data stream (with the leading 24 bits stropped from BI since they would be "consumed" by the preceeding Pixel) and, if they differ, it assumes the preceeding pixel is wonked and switches to looking at the BI data stream...

You're connecting the data out from the E682 to both the DI and BI leads on the first pixel in the string, right? Dennis the Menace

I use this guide from Falcon Christmas for my connectors: http://www.falconchristmas.com/wiki/FAQ:_3_Wire_Connectors http://www.falconchristmas.com/wiki/FAQ:_4_Wire_Connectors I think it pretty much doesn't matter what pins you use (unless you have pre-wired connectors attached to pixel...

From the description, it seems like any time it receives data on the DIN it compares it with the BIN and, if there is a difference it sets a flag to ignore the DIN and use the BIN instead. So if a pixel goes dead and doesn't forward data out, it is removed from the sequence and the sequence is...

This one is usually pretty good: http://www.landolights.com/main/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,54/ Regards, Dennis
