Where do I get the passwords for these? Thanks

Great, thanks

What are people using to create their props? I would like to quickly make a star for the Mega tree that I have just finished. I have the lights sitting around and would like to finish the tree off. The Tree is 5m tall and 2.4m wide. How big should I make the star? 1m wide?

Hey guys, I am new to xlights and was wondering if anyone has a good recommendation for a sequence to download. I am happy to pay a small fee if they are good. I don't feel that I have time to explore creating one this year. Maybe next year. The tree is 5m tall and 2.4m wide.

Should I power the DigQuad from the Distro board or directly from the PS? Don't think it matters really, it would just offer a double fuse for the controller, eh?

What terminal fittings suit this board? Also how soon could you post it?

I have a DugQuad for my first megatree. I need to have 8 PI. I have 3 coming direct from the controller and I want another 5 direct from the PS. Question is, how should I hook it all up? There are not enough terminals on the PS. If I was to add them together they would look like this. Plus...

Agreed

If I can find some LED's, I think I will do that. 👍

For the PI line coming from the PS to the strand, can I use a larger diameter dual cable (+ve & -ve) and then branch them off to their respective locations (just to reduce the quantity of cabling) or should I run a separate line for each injection? I may need to buy some 18 AWG cable.

The usual, I can't wait for it to travel from China :coffee:. Xmas is imminent! 🎄

That makes perfect sense. Well explained. Never used Xlights, so that's good to know as it will save me a headache down the line. I did want to add some more "strands" to it, but I couldn't find any W2811 100 pixels that were not out of stock. 20 it will be then....

Thanks, The plan for the layout is 22 strings with 100 pixels each. XLights? One step at a time mate... 😂

Good pointers mate, thanks. I did realize about the -ve for the PI. I just didn't draw it in. I have some Injection Tee's that have set aside for that. I was just estimating the power demand from this web calculator, maybe I entered the data wrong...

Hey all, First post, so be gentle... :) Great, content available here, thanks all for the input. For my first project I decided to start small and build a 6m Mega tree. xD I have 2200 pixels utilizing one Dig quad. My main concern is the use of a second power supply. I realise that I need a...
