All sorted thanks Alan, everything was setup correctly, just a simple issue on my part in xlights. More haste less speed!

Awesome thanks Alan, I'll give that a try this evening and fingers crossed that is all is needed.

Hey guys, Has been quite a while since I was last on here. Have been controlling my dumb LEDs with a DC controller and Vixen, but its time to venture into Pixels. I've decided to go down the 5v route, and am testing with a string of 50 5v leds from Ray, a RPI-28D+ with a 3B+ and xLights. Just...

Thanks for the suggestions and comments guys. They didn't touch the santa so I've taken Jimbo's suggestion and used some decent steel tent pegs. Might setup a couple of cameras in future Alan, already have some around the back but as you mentioned only useful if you can ID them Bird they...

Thanks for the welcome guys. Pixels are definitely on the cards, definitely on the canes and large tree, on the arches sounds like a good idea too. David - both the 200 & 300 lights have sections of 20 bulbs with 2 wires and then a 3 wire bulb. They should be ok?

Hi all, Thought I might say Hi before I torment everyone with questions! We are in Cranebrook (Western Sydney) and 2014 was the first time we did any lights. That was only because 2 weeks before Christmas I found out our place was decided for the family Christmas dinner... GREAT! We bought...
