Thanks for the offer. Toowoomba isn't that far away, but at this time of the year, the family has me fully booked. I'll have another go at it, as soon as I have some spare time, but if I still can't get it going, maybe a road trip to Toowoomba might be in order. :-)

I think that might be a wise thing to do. I probably wouldn’t have the funds to completely change over to not using Power Injection, but if I have more (smaller) Controllers with the power supplies close to the props, that would probably be the best way to go. I would also aim to have an...

It looked like the data just wasn’t getting through correctly. Some pixels would come on, but would just stop halfway along a string. If I changed the prop on that port for another similar one, I’d get a different result, but it still wouldn’t work correctly. I also tried re-uploading the Port...

Unfortunately, yes, I have already tried that, but it didn’t help. Now I have more time on my hands, I might give it another try, but I’m not going to hold my breath. ☹

It’s official, no Christmas lights for me this year. Apart from the usual lighting issues I always have (like; bad pixels, broken wires, changed prop placement, and the never-ending need to have new Sequences each year), this time I have had an issue I just couldn’t overcome before Christmas...

Thanks for that. I'll see if I can find that video. :-)

Hi All, I have some Bluey Props that aren't doing what they should, and it's driving me crazy!! Someone suggested updating the xLights Model. So, is there an easy way to do this, or will I just need to delete them all and start from scratch again. I really hope not.

Thanks for putting on the Brisbane Mini, once again it was really good. By the way, can someone let me know where I can find the Vender's list we were shown at the end on Saturday? As I'd like to support them with my upcoming purchases. :-)

I have been trying to get my brother-in-law's Lights working (it's his first year using xLights & Pixels), but I'm really struggling. He is using a Kulp K-8 Controller, which I'm not too familiar with. He has 4 Props (the Bluey family) with all Props having 2 strings. However, they all work...

Yes, it was. I thoughts I had checked the Negative connections, but I'll recheck them again now.

I believe the wire size was 2mm.

I have three Arches, which I built all at the same time and in the same manor. These Arches are Spinarchy Minis, which have a total of 823 12v Pixels each, which are currently all running at 23% power. Each Arch has its own Power supply (which I know is a bit of overkill) and they don’t draw any...

Once again, I really enjoyed the Brisbane Mini. Thanks for everyone for all of your efforts, it was really appreciated.

That sounds like a plan. 😊 I remember seeing someone offering to do some Music Mixes, but for the life of me, I now can’t find it. ☹ Would you have a link to that post?
