    Starting my research into a Mini Mega Tree.....

    This was my thought on the layout of the lights. I will be using a 12mm WS2811 RGB 12V light. I'm working on the tree frame in my head. Likely will fabricate something from aluminum or light gauge steel.

    Starting my research into a Mini Mega Tree.....

    My front yard is pretty shallow and I'm restricting the height because in the future there will be a matrix behind it. Don't want to overwhelm what little yard I have. I possibly could go the extra foot (5') at 2" spacing giving me a string length of 30. Is there a minimum amount of strings...

    Vancouver BC says Hi!

    Jumping in the deep end and treading water as best I can!

Learning as I go and enjoying it.......well...

    Flood light mapping? From Xlights to Pi to F16V3 to Lights...

    Ok. So I have five floods that are connected Via the Com 2 port on my F16V3. They are connected in parallel to a Ray Wu Easy DMX Controller with the dips set at 1,4,7,10,13. First of all....how do I set this up in the controller(F16V3) ? Second...how do I set it up in the FPP ...

    Daisy Chain Easy DMX Controller

    Ok...thinking I am wrapping my head around this. One question.....when you set the dip to the first position it means channel 1-511......does the DMX lighting act separate from the LED lighting channels? or do I have to adjust the LED lighting channels to accommodate the channels occupied by...

    Daisy Chain Easy DMX Controller

    So I am daisy chaining 5 of these together. I understand how the binary switches work. I have the first controller hooked up directly from the control board. My question is does it wire from the positive data in leave the negative data and into the positive data of the next board and so on...

    Answered 3 channel easy LED DMX Controller

    I'm using 5 of these from Ray Wu to go between my F16V3 controller. What I do not understand is the dip switches...... first light - channel 1-3 second light - channel 4-6 third light - channel 7-9 forth light - channel 10-12 ? fifth light - channel 13-15? I was going to daisy chain them...
