Hey badger4543, I never worried about routing through FPP to connect to the Pixlite controller. How ever....this year i have my lights up early and I had some time to play around with Pixlite and FPP. Since you mentioned it earlier i was curious (more so determined) to see if I could make the...

I just unplugged the pi and plugged in laptop.

I have my pixlite controller connected straight to My Pi3 with straight through ethernet cable, both devices are smart enough not to need a cross over cable, works fine.

Hey Goliath, I would be interested to know what you used to light these (massive balls you have) up? I have seen a few different types and sizes of the round disc LED clusters available but not sure on which would do my balls any justice. I tried a couple of bullet nodes but they don't seem to...

I see a lot of expensive/powerful transmitters being used on here. Xmas just been was my first year at pixels. FM transmitter was one of the last items on my list. It ended up i was too late for any new purchases to arrive on time via mail so in my hunt around the shed i found my old 12v...

A bit of an update. I Sent a "suspect" string of lights to a friend who runs a Falcon controller and worked fine - all colours on solid. So i contacted Advatek and they suggested to check all the things i had already gone over. Advatek narrowed it down to the V1.1 receiver boards. They sent out...

Hi battle79, the string is literally plugged straight into the controller on my work bench so no more than 80mm to the first pixel and less than 50 pixels on the string. I have tried other strings on the "working" output and they work ok. But flicker etc. on the 2nd output of the remote board...

Hey wce06 - did you find a solution to your white pixel flickering issue? I am having similar problems with my pixlite 16 MkII long distance. i can only get one of the two outputs to work properly on the remote board. I have tried 3 other remote boards and they don't work either. Don't work =...

Yes I am keen to place an order!

I will have a look at the advatek, thanks for the tip. A fellow light enthusiast put me onto the Falcons but they seem to be hard to come by, i really need something that is more available so i have plenty of time (which i will need) for xmas 2018.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

Hi all. I am an electrcian that has always admired a decent lighting setup. After many years of research and recently speaking to other light enthusiasts i decided to get on board and have some fun. I have downloaded Vixen 3 and got my head around some of its features. Now i am after a Falcon...
