We had a great year so far but on Boxing Day my grandad passed away, I cancelled the next few days shows, we’ve still committed to doing a show on Tuesday but I’ve gotta admit, I’m just not in the zone at the moment.

I've got a lot of use out of this network tester - https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c4FirqF7 helps with POE stuff, has a wand which lets you know which cable is connected to where (good when you've got multiple long ethernet runs going across the garden

Yep that's just the power for the lamps on the turn inputs as you might be running your pixels at 12v/24v but have 5v LEDS in your buttons

Hey, this is pretty cool and is similar to some of our plans for 2026, are you part of the Baldrick community on FB? would love to share if with the community there if not?

Hey. welcome :)

That is correct, we wanted people to be able to reuse mounts they'd already made / designed :)

This will be handled with UPD out on FPP connect and Upload Output, you should modify these on the end points, let xLights be the source of truth

Nice one!

Hello from England :)

Hey @DinoChickenSuit, Happy to talk you through Baldrick and why it might be a good choice for you. 1) It's under 200 AUD and stocked in the AUS, although it doesn't do smart receivers, we've designed the Baldrick to replace them, wherever you'd put a smart receiver, you stick a Baldrick, then...

Looks good, I'd just be careful about some of those gaps between pixels as there isn't a lot of material between them and when pushing pixels, it might break. Also I'd go with 12.4 rather than 11.4 for pushing the pixels If we are talking about bullets

Can you try Hogical test mode and lets make sure the right props are lighting up

You can add WLED as a controller in xLights, On windows you can use xScheduler on your computer but many people prefer to use something called FPP which is on a Raspberry Pi to manage the show playing as it's a dedicated device.

Welcome to the group, do you have photos of your current show?
