We finally found the problems with differing browser connections to the nECG-DP2. Attached is the newest firmware. -Ed

No bug. WS281x does indeed create a clock signal that is unused. 2801 does have both or it won't work. On a P2 it is a physical connection through a 541 driver and 300 ohm current limiter. Perhaps your output is blown on one string. I personally test all ports on all pixel devices before...

finally, attached is the firmware for P12S. the file contains the j1UBL, instructions, and all version of P12S firmware. P12S now does strobes, just like the others. P12S now has ArtNet II support working. BUT ArtNet II is limited to 4 universes so its uses are limited. With ArtNet and...

Re: ECG-P2 Strobe Software P2 v2.9a and P12R v2.9a attached. PIXAD8 and P12S coming in the next few hours. -Ed

Re: ECG-P2 Strobe Software I do agree with Neil. The turning on of a strobe should turn off the direct universe. I originally used only the same universe and it was all or nothing at setup time. Then, with Neil's input, I added the optional control universe layer separate from the data...

Re: ECG-P2 Strobe Software I was under the impression that Ray's strobes were going to be 3 whites on R, G, and B. the best thing is to play with the HTML defaults and then worry about mapping the results to the control universe. But if they work on Green only then yes, Slot 5 would be your...

I know it is late, but if you want to add some last minute pizzazz to your show take a look at some of our new products. LED-C9 - a circular/starburst panel array of 51 WS2812B pixels. The board is 8.5in x 8.5in with 1in spacing between concentric circles. The board operates on 5VDC and...

Attached is a new release for ECG-P2 that includes strobe options. There is a new main menu item for strobe configuration which will bring up a configuration screen. There are two logical sections to the screen. The first section sets up one or more control universes that can be used to...

It is alive!! attached is the zip file containing all the files and information for v3.1 and v3.2. v3.1 is the original software installed on all of the P12S boards to date. v3.2 is the new release. it finally contains the DMX/Renard drivers for the RS485 ports on the board. Please download the...

FINALLY!! We just finished the initial release of the ECG-P12S firmware. Those users that have received a new ECG-P12S will need to download the attached zip file and use its contents to install the firmware. -Ed

yes, andy get's the first one ....

Hi all - sorry for the lack of communication recently. we've been busy before vacation getting prototypes and pre-production work on the XCG-X2A and ECG-P12S. we had hoped that some production could be done while we were on vacation but there remained a few problems that we had to solve before...

The pre-production PCB arrived last Saturday. I assembled up and did some initial testing. Everything looks great!! I left on Tuesday for a Caribbean Cruise through 31 March. I brought the boards and am doing some work on sea days so I can give a production order before I return. Hopefully the...

When we first introduced our xCG-x2 series (ECG-D2, ECG-P2, DCG-P2) of controllers we planned for and promised a set of expansion boards to follow. Our initial design of an expander never made it past the prototype stage. One was shown at several Aussie Mini’s in 2012. We’ve spent the last...
