All fixed. Phew I was nearly having a melt down there! I had one of those unpowered 3 USB and Ethernet hubs which worked for years but it seems to have died. I plugged it into my PC and the PC froze and wasn't happy. My really old USB adapter didn't work either, so bought a $15 J.Burrows...

Hi, I run a Kulp K40PB with receivers. Disaster, I booted it up today for Halloween and it wouldn't connect to the network. I uses a USB to ethernet/WIFI hub. Tried a backup hub from 19 oat cake and tried the wifi usb direct, nothing. It just boots and says no network. It's currently...

They arrived today. 130mm between pixels but it looks like a 4 year old made them. 😂. Excess material all over the place and they are short so might be a pain on the bum to push into this Coro. Do they work, yes. Are they great definitely no. Were they cheap, yes. 😂. Glad I didn’t order...

Ordered 31st Aug and they just cleared customs in Brisbane. 500 for $99 + got a discount for buying two lots and free postage. My inner Scotsman was overjoyed. https://amzn.asia/d/0foWx0Hd I’m sure they will work ok but long term not sure, but at least I can get what I want done this year.

Bit skint this Christmas prop making season so I've just ordered some amazon special pixels (1000 for $175), can't be any worse than 2022 right? xD . I've rebuilt an old Surfing Santa rope prop using seed pixels for $80, and using a Hanson piHat for control via Xlights. I'm doing a nightclass...

I bought the Ryobi soldering iron, I've got loads of batteries and the batteries last a session for me. It works, it's portable. I had one fail a year after use, took it back and Bunnings replaced it no questions.

Yeah it's new in FFP10 I think. PipeWire + GStreamer, which brings multi-zone audio, AES67, and Opus RTP. Not sure how it's practical in our shows without buying more hardware. I run older RPi3bs, but keen to learn more as I'm over pulling 3.5mm cable across my yard and I've broken the cable...

Really enjoyed it too and I learnt a lot from the presentations about new features, new programs and how others build their displays. I didn't think I would learn so much being 5 years into this hobby! xD Left with more projects, some goodies and lots of ideas which is always a bonus! :cool:

Thanks for organising us all @Mark_M and for the amazing sequence @Danielr Here's my submission I'm getting better at recording these! :cool:

I've had a few issues in the past and I think when you upload a new config it doesn't wipe everything and start again. It seems to overwrite but no erase unused ports/channel data. Also the voltage has been reported incorrectly on one side, I just ignore it.
