I've used Ray Wu exclusively for 10x years and cannot recall a water ingress issue with his connectors. Your mileage may vary.

The words China & standard are not often used in the same sentence. Like all things cheap and chearful in this hobby, it pays to test every wire. Every. Wire. Just because you've been told that the red wire = pin 2 (just a hypotheitcal example) doesn't mean that every pair of pigtails you have...

Nice thanks! I started doing this one myself but have not progressed very far so I'll end up using this and apply some tweaks of my own

I got a similar response when I asked chatgpt initially, but I started this thread to get other's real world experiences as I know many in the community are handy with networking. I appreciate everyone's input. I am leaning towards getting one of these and a PoE injector...

Well I have a wired connection inside the mancave so I can connect the outdoor AP point to this if that's what you're referring to yes. It sounds like the backyard has low coverage due to A) the old wifi Netgear router in the mancave is old and not great to begin with and B) the newer TP Link...

So I've been consulting my mate ChatGPT trying to make sense of some of the suggestions so far, and I was keen to get other's thoughts on this breakdown. Option 1 – TP-Link EAP650-Outdoor (Wired Only) Simple, cost-effective, reliable — perfect if you just want one outdoor AP now. [FTTP NBN]...

I have a RE500X extender in the front room which seems to work well for the house but as its not as strong out the front as I'd hoped. Would this work similar or better?

I'm pretty sure I've asked this in chat sometime in the last 12 months but I've forgotten the details already (there's been a bit going on at Evans Central the last 6 months!) plus I figure someone else may want to reference this thread in the future for thier own research. I'm looking for...

This has come up in conversation a few times over the last few years and the general consensus is that most members would love the opportunity to purchase some merch to wear/use with pride during the year and also help support the site, and I'm all for it. Product ideas, designing products...

I don't want it lit up all day, hence why I'm after traditional numbers that can still be easily read. Mrs DJ would NOT allow panels up all year round!

I'm looking for some ideas around how to create some house numbers that can light up (be it lit up internally or light up the wall and the numbers are sillohettes) I'd like to be able to control the colours/patterns of them all year round, but also have the ability for them to be included as...

I believe @Kane Cotterill has supplied what was requested - singing faces for a megatree, not props.

I can't comment on pricing as I only buy 5v cheap pixels from Ray, however I will add that if the budget allows to always get an extra bundle/length of each pixel type to have something on hand for repairs.

Thanks to everyone who attended the melbourne Mini this year! We hope you enjoyed meeting up with like-minded blinky nerds to discuss all things Christmas lighting and beyond. Special shout outs to @thewanderingpine / Rob for helping to wrangle all the pieces of the puzzle together and hosting...

Makes 2 of us!!
