They look like bullets so shouldn't really be a manufacturing issue (some seeds have blobs of glue where the first pixel is meant to be to cover manufacturing issue), have you got your props setup in xlights with a null pixel? See this thread for how to set it, you would want to check to see if...

For anyone reading this later and wondering, I managed to get it working again by changing it from mode 1.1 to 1.2. I actually prefer mode 1.2 (allows time to be restarted on button pressing) so I have left it.

Great thanks for the guidance, I will keep playing tonight. Just to confirm, is it normal for the relays to have the red LED lit all the time, and then the green only when triggered? Also, any idea how to reset the timer to default configuration? I couldn't find much from google.

Hi, is anyone able to help me troubleshoot, I think I had it all working last night, everything was lit up, I haven't plugged it into the speakers yet but when I pushed the button the timer started going and the green lights on the relays turned on. I was trying to adjust the time but now it...

Glad you got it all sorted, don't worry we are all new at some stage and lucky to be able to learn from the awesome people here. Ask questions as you need, it is a rewarding hobby but can be complex.

I dont have a Falcon so don't know for sure, but does test mode do more than 100 pixels at once? My pixel tester only does 300, I also setup my props in FPP and test there, have you tried that?

Hey, when you say cut down to 270 did you physically cut them? It's not a problem but you can also just add null pixels to the end of props to cover the extra 30. That said you might need them for spares moving forward so you would cut anyway, just an option. This sounds mostly like an xlights...

Yes, definitely don't send power down the wrong way, you could blow all the pixels. Check the wires on the edge, it should have a white dot on it to show positive? Best thing to do is cut off a single pixel and plug it into your controller on test mode to see if it is the right way around. Maybe...

Just to expand on my post, just to give you a bit of visibility on what I am planning and have done with a seed mega tree the past few years. I've probably got a somewhat unique tree as I am near the ocean so get wind, salt and rain. I've got a 24 x 72 seed pixel mega tree (180 degrees) at 10cm...

You won't be able to drive 3000 seeds off one port so you will need to cut up the pixels on the roll and add some pigtails or cable to go to the controller over a few ports. The pixels will work, assuming you have a 12v power supply. They are also 4 cable, which has additional redundancy built...

Do you know what you want to do with the seeds? I've been using seeds for 2 years now and there is no way I would buy a roll of 2.5cm spaced pixels. It is such a pain in the butt trying to wire pigtails onto 5cm spaced ones that you would want to be excellent at soldering to be doing 2.5cm...

Don't worry too much, most of us have all blown fuses, power supplies and the like during our time. It is how we learn and hopefully don't cause fires. This hobby throws up all sorts of weird stuff. One lot of seeds I got from China last year had the negative wire with dots, even though the...

Have you got a multimeter? Confirm you are getting 12v (in the correct polarity) direct off the power supply and then at each end of the T. It almost reads like the 3-2-3 has an issue with the data line, so check there is not connectivity between the data and the +ve or -ve on the 3-2-3 as well...

Have you already glued it together? If not you can cut it and load up some t pieces and mount on the roof similar to this. I've mounted my flakes with 25mm saddle clips mounted on the screws in my colorbond...

I’m not at my computer so can’t take screenshots. Up the top where you select models to drop into your layout there is a button that has import models. Just drag that down and a dialog box will open where you can download standard models. Expand out the Gilbert Engineering one, find stars and...
