Anyone interested in upsizing their megatree, here is an opportunity. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/bayswater/building-materials/8-x-8-meter-light-poles-1-x-20-meter-one/1301844965

A few years ago I made my first mega tree with a timber frame about 3m high with 16 x 50 pixels. It was a basic start to prove I could do it. Last year I re used it but added a 270 pixel star. This year I am going for a full rebuild and upsize. I got myself a 6.5m pole, topper, winch etc. and...

It is 5V. So you are saying run the whole star as one string and add some power injection on the star. I will look into it.

The star has 3 inner rings at 20, 30 and 40 all on one string the next 2 are 50 and 60 on one string and the outer ring is 70 on one string. According to the manual in multicast mode it can do 7 universes or 3570 channels or unicast mode 12 universes or 6120 channels. I hope that makes sense.

Last year I started out with a simple mega tree of 16 strings by 50 pixels, each string plugged into one pigtail on the E682. This year I want to add a 6 row star. I watched the video on how to set it up and got it going, however it seems to waste a lot of the outputs. That is one pigtail out of...

Sorted. Thanks

I have been following this http://www.brianhensley.net/2017/10/network-setup-falcon-player-fpp-falcon-f16v3-controller.html The sixth step is what I am looking at but for the e682

This is where I am getting my info from View: http://videos.xlights.org/sydney-mini-2017-e131-controller-networking_df06515e2.html

I can access the pi both wirelessly and with Ethernet. I can access the e682 via Ethernet from laptop directly or router. I want to run the e682 from the Pi. I can set the ip on the e682 but my understanding was that for it to talk back it needs a gateway for the subnet on the pi as well. I am...

hi all, I trying to setup my e682 with a connection to a rPi4. I have set the ip's on the Pi and added a subnet etc but I am having a problem setting the gateway on the e682. Has anyone have any instruction on how set/change the gateway on the e682. Thanks

I am looking at getting the Sandevices diy kit. it seems to be pretty straight forward in assembly and operation. Has anyone had any recent experience or issues with it. Thanks

I am interested in a 500 ft roll, 1 inch spacing

I couldn't wait until tomorrow. You are correct, the plugs are on the wrong ends. They are now all working. I guess that is why Ray had them on sale. Thanks all.

I think you might have something there. From what I can see the arrow pointing to the controller not away. I shall cut the lead a swap ends. Will let you know tomorrow.

I have read the 101 guide. I can only think that the data signals are not getting through. I checked the voltages at each end and it shows 5v
