I want to keep my matrix up for Australia day. Does anyone have a cool graphic that I can put up? I have an Australian flag that is a bit boring, so maybe a moving flag or something that anyone can suggest?

I was using the yellow ones and didn’t realise that the Blue ones took a different size wire.

Does anyone have an opinion on whether it’s the actual circuitary embedded within the bullet that failed or the wires becoming loose somehow? I notice on a few that if I move the pixel around and fiddle with it that the string starts again. I’m just wondering if the square nodes might be better...

The thing is that I bench tested all of the strips for at least 3 hours mid year so didn’t expect so many failures now. That’s why it put it down to the heat. Anyway I found that the light it up leds couldn’t fit in the Scotchlok as the wire was too thick. The clickits are much better. i...

I know that replacing pixels is all part of the fun of the hobby, but just curious if anyone else has seen an extraordinary number of failures over the last few days in Australia? We have had some hot days, but my 20 strand mega tree has nearly half the strings not working due to failed pixels...

Thanks I will set the static ip address

HI I have a falcon f48 NS where the up address is set to 192.168.1.2. Every 2nd or 3rd time that I power up the controller, the IP address randomly changes to 192.168.1.3 so Xscheduler can’t connect and doesn’t control lights. So i go in and change the ip address in Xlights and it is fine, but...

Yes just jumped on and great. Thanks for the tips.

Hi I have bought a ready made sequence from a US vendor and Im trying to buy the mp3 so that the music lines up. However Amazon won't allow me to buy the song as I'm not in the US and my account is Australian. I can't seem to find where I can buy the song in Australia. What does everyone else...

Yes that’s what I thought. The ends of the cables must have been touching. I cant post a picture now as I have reconnected it and it’s all fine now. thanks for your feedback.

I don't really know but I think it was zero as I didn't have it connected to anything. I thought it was connected to the controller but it wasn't. I didn't notice but could the ends of the cable have been touching (+ touching -) and that causing the heat? I have now connected it to the...

Not sure if im jumping at shadows but the power connection from my power supply is feeling very hot. To explain better, from my PS I have some heavy duty lanscaping cable (3.3mm) which is then soldered to a 2 core connector (female). From the controller I have the same heavy duty cable...

Yes that’s exactly what I was after. Thanks.

I find that the chroma trim is a little flimsy. Does anyone know of a vendor who sells the equivalent but in the more rigid corro like some of the boscoyo ice princess props (I think it is 10mm)?

I feel stupid. I found the issue, the Cat 5 cable wasnt plugged in properly and it must have been sending errant messages. Once I pushed it in, it all works fine. Thanks for the help Skymaster and hopefully this helps someone else with the same problem.
