Update. This code will work with an Arduino Uno and a WS5100 ethernet shield. Tested successfully with LSP and xLights. It can also be easily modified to work with multiple strings (I'm planning on using 8). I can't take any credit for this code. Strobe code is by the original poster, and...

I've been having some weird issues with the DMX version of this. I'm just going to use my Renard48LSD to control these things this year. Thanks again for everyone's contributions and help.

another question for you smartelec. how does the speed rate work? Is there something I have to do on channel 2? Thanks!

Update-- Getting solid performance now using two 20ct strings on D3 and D4. My UCS1903 pixels are 20ct strings anyway so this should work great. Now I gotta figure out how to make everything look neat in an enclosure. Thanks for everyone's contributions on this.

Hey smartelec Was wondering if you encountered the ws2811 pixels stuttering on the arduino minis when setting the pixel count to over 20? Strobes work great otherwise. Seems like longer the strand the more the strobes seem to glitch more. Not enough memory maybe? Thanks!

Awesome. Thanks for your response! I will be referring to your wiring diagram once all my arduino stuff from china arrives.

Question guys. Is there a way to daisy chain the dmx modules so I can run multiples of these? I would like to add this to an existing dmx universe on my e131 bridge if possible. I'm thinking I can probably wire two rj-45 keystones to act as in/out? Thanks!

Thanks to everyone for sharing there code and experience. I was able to run a little test tonight with my arduino uno with a strand of ws2811 w/o DMX. Getting DMX integrated will be my next project. I think I'm going to go with the 1903 dome pixels. Just not sure how to mount these things...

Hey drlucas, Any new updates on your UCS1903 dome pixels? I'm thinking of possibly going this route this year but wanted to see if you were having more success and liked your results. Any progress on the DMX interface? Thanks, David

I am looking to do pixel controlled strobes this year and I actually have an Arduino Uno sitting here collecting dust. It looks like this post lost its attachments.. If Justin is around, is there anyway you could re-post your code and picture attachments! Thanks!

give me a day or two and i'll try to throw a video up here.... agree.. videos do help.....

No problem... I wish I knew this last year.. :) also wanted to point out that the background color (1st slider) can be any gradient, not just a solid color. I'm also going to try some other macro combinations and see what type of different effects I can achieve and share them here....

I wanted to share with people something I learned last night. To add to FastEddy's video tutorial. Let's say you want to do a chase over a solid color. You can add two Macro Color Sliders, set the first color slider position for start and stop to On Screen, choose the solid color for your...

I used Nutcracker to display the animated GIF on the tree. The talking tree was a last minute addition last year.... Planning on doing some more lip syncing to a song or two for 2013.

Thanks for the update Sean!!
