All fixed! Turned out to be a bad string. I think the data return wire had broken somewhere along the string. Replaced it and all working properly now.
Thanks Elf’s
Thanks for the reassurance! I thought that was right. I’ll check my wiring and settings in xlights. My return poles aren’t lighting up, thought I’d double check I was doing it how I thought they worked.
Hi all,
Silly question — but this is about 4-wire data-return seed pixels, not the 4-wire data-backup type.
If I want to take the data signal from the end of a pixel run and return it back to the start (so I can hop across to the next chain of pixels on a separate string), do I simply connect...
Amazing thank you so much for the detailed reply!
Honestly that sounds pretty complex and the easiest solution sounds like I should just not be lazy and try and fix it in software and just cut those pixels out and solder in a wire join.
I’ve already had to do it 99 times with my pixel stakes...
Hey All, Wondering if there are any wizards here that can see if i have set things up correctly in my Falcon Controller to handle Null pixels in the middle of a string on my Mega tree.
I am using a SRx2 smart receiver so the tree is split over the 8 ports between A & B on the smart receiver.
I...
I realise I haven’t really introduced myself.
So hi all from the Mornington Peninsula!
Not my first year doing Christmas lights but it is my first year finally taking it seriously and getting a proper sound to light show setup.
Decided why not, I can build a Mega Tree, Pixel Forest...
Amazing thanks for the update Alan! Id much prefer to wait and support someone local like yourself than make an order online. I’ll wait to hear for an update and look out for a restock on your site.
I can attest to the quality of the Baldrick 8. I’ve been putting it through its paces getting ready for my Christmas show this year and it’s performed perfectly so far. It’s affordable and available locally in Australia through Hanson Electronics. Alan (from Hansons) is fantastic, really fast...
