Hi all, My show was up and running without issue for two days. One of my pixels in the middle of a string seems to have died, it does light up and all the subsequent pixels have wrong colors and/or stay on. How could this have happened? Is it common? I dont want to start chopping into...

Figured it out. In the channel input page of FPP need to adjust bridge model, to set the number of universes to 2 as well.

Hi all, I have 200 strings connected to a RPI-28D but I can only get the first 170 to display through xLights. In FPP I have the output set to 200 pixels - and if I run test display they light up correctly - so far so good. In xLights I have the controller set with 2 universes of 510 so there...

I'd be interested if this goes ahead.

Depending on your network router you may be able to allocate a static address based on the MAC address (e.g. tied to the hardware). Alternatively, you can click the static IP address within FPP and force use of the same IP address. To control from xLights, the FPPD Mode needs to be "Bridge"...

jump on another computer on the same network and go to http://fpp you shouldn't ever need to login via terminal.

You should be able to login on a seperate PC using a Web Browser. e.g http://ip-addressofpi

Thanks @LawrenceDriveLights I will go down that path if I cant find anything ready made (my skills still need some work). Did yoiu 3D print the yellow brackets? If so can you share the model?

Welcome @Nathan Melbourne - I'm also in Melbourne and new to this hobby. I'm also hoping to have something up by Christmas 2021. The AusChristmasLighting community is really active and very welcoming.

Hi all, I would like to replicate the clean layout of @LawrenceDriveLights setup (here; View: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lhdh0erdm4irdeu/Photo%2027-7-20%2C%2011%2034%2016%20am.jpg?dl=0 ) and stack two power supplies within my enclosure. I found this mount which is perfect...

Thanks all, I think I will go with the inlet plug and then get it checked by an A Grade before connecting to mains / powerimg on.

Hi all, What is considered best practice for providing power to the junction / project box? I am having trouble finding a waterproof (IP44?) socket that would be suitable. Do others just run a power lead out of the box? Cheers, Chris

Thanks @Mark_M - That video explains what I needed perfectly! I just have to wait for my pixels to arrive to test!

Hi, I am planning to run a string of 1000 pixels using two different PSUs. According to my calculations, I will need to inject power every 50 pixels, so I am thinking I will make some T connectors which I would like to wire in a standard a fashion as possible. Why should the +ve be connected...
