Good to see you back Alan, my dmx2-18's are doing fabulous

Hi Ellis welcome make sure you read the 101 manual, plenty of help available here, where on the goldie are you, I'm at Burleigh. Al

Not a cop but was a RAAF brat in actual fact started school in Malaysia when the 'old man' was posted to Butterworth being a mechanic. Being a handy kind of fellow taught me everything from rebuilding car engines by 10, Reno houses and rewiring houses by 14 so basically made me a handy dude too...

Have to agree with the grinch, had to turn my lights to 20% at my Pixlite controller as they were way too bright, only problem was I had to do the same in sequences with my Ray wu 27 chan as I had to do that in the sequencer and use curves to lower the brightness.

Looks great, might need to get some

Thought i'd share my newest element hot off the press. Took some time to get the gearing right but i'm happy with the outcome

A famous quote says "If you build it they will come" and because of the CLAP thingy, i'm always thinking about what more things I can make to ensure my viewers love what they watch. I too love the challenge of 'building' a new element and thinking of how it will fit into the display and watching...

Thanks for your replies, think I'm on the right track now. Al

After reading various posts I have decided this year to include fuses in my enclosures more so for safety than anything else in case of shorting, fire etc. I have included an image of how I plan to wire it all up. All my pixels are 12V 2811 and I have based all calculations on .6w for nodes...

Hi All I am not a big poster in the forum but I do follow a lot of the posts. The reason for my post is I am feeling a bit devastated about elnino's plight with his neighbours, (posts from him are priceless and invaluable), and are now concerned about creating a show display that can become...

Got six, did the Brad swap and working fine. Thanks Brad for the fix. Ryan got the six from Robina, there was only 7. The seventh box was missing all the hanging cradles.

Hi jonnyci Had the same issue last year and I logged a support ticket with Advatek. The email below I have attached is what Luke came back with and in my case because I use WS2811 and don't use the clock line I was ok and didn't need to replace the chips as I swapped the clock chips with the...

Hi Luke and Scamper Thanks very much for your posts, did as suggested, set all outputs to order RGB, restarted the pixlite, then set 4, 6, 12 and 14 back to BGR and then 3 strips came back good. Found out on further investigation the 4th strip had a dodgy ground as it was doing flickering...

Hi All I apologise for the long winded post but this one has absolutely done my head in and after a week trying to work it out I thought I would ask you good people for some advice. I am using a Pixlite 16 with both ws2811 nodes and strip connected. The strip is behaving very badly. When I...
