So i run a 12V system. The master Pi/PiHatV2 run approx 1500 lights. Realizing i only need it for a short amount of time (at best 30 seconds) to keep everything rolling how would that wiring look? I am searching for previous USB Powerbank posts with not much luck.....thanks for the...

Further to this question: I am running 3 PiCapV2 (Master and 2 Slaves) <--can i even say that? With a power outage the network goes down and requires a reboot. If i had a ups on the 3 Pi's would they stop because they arent receiving timing packets immediately or would they finish out the...

I live in an area where power is interrupted a lot. The house has a backup generator but it doesn't kick on quick enough to stop the interruption to my 3 controllers. Because of my layout they cannot be combined to one UPS. Has anyone used successfully a small UPS that would bridge the gap...

I have created using hover a 3d model, downloaded a sketchup file, started a trial version of sketchup, slightly customized the house, added a jpeg of the google earth image for the landscaping and then exported it into a .obj file. My issue is that the textures are not merged into the obj...

You are a magician......thank you sir....i knew it had to be something simple! now i can dedicate my time to sequences instead of new plugs for the hair ive pulled out. Appreciated.

I just upgraded my Pi from 5.xx to 7.5 (fpp) the only thing changed is instead of using route tables ive utilized the proxy tables in the fpp. Completed a test sequence and the lights are all over the place....looking at the channels from xlights to fpp to f16v3 they just dont line up. I am sure...

I do use on of these for testing. Is there not a max light count though with these?

I am going to be installing some strip lighting for my aging parents and am looking for a bluetooth controller. I have seen the SP105E and have installed one but am wondering if there is something better out there. Trying to stay as simple as possible for them. Thanks for your input!

Just add pixels? But where is the fun in that? lol. The boards are rotted out...they had a good run though

Aluminum stands up to the test of time.....

Made the frame: 1/8" aluminum angle 1/16" aluminum sheet

Couple pictures to help with the description.......4 bookshelf speakers and the furthest run about 30' from the amp parked in the garage. Zero noise. One subwoofer also parked in the garage. Halloween night is the only time its really bumping and I am outside all night with the garage door...

Box is screwed into the house. Nothing fancy......little silicone, screwed and away we go. Well i know it works.......going to be trying some sequences soon and will be sure to post.

This is a take down every year. I am thinking a cross between a fence for Halloween and stays up through the Christmas season

I've built this picket fence and this will be its last year in use. I am thinking of a design similar to it but of course adding lights to it. Possibly integrating them into the post......a composite perhaps to last the onslaught of west coast weather? Looking for build ideas or lighting...
