    Sorry for the late reply but thanks to all of you for the detailed replies! A few ideas for me to think through there. Aha! This is definitely something I was looking for, thank you!

    Splitting xLights models across controllers

    I am trying to understand whether xLights is capable of certain behaviours, how to achieve them, and which models it can do it on. I have a few different things but it mostly boils down to two examples. Let's say I am outlining a rectangular roof section and I would like it to still...

    I'd never given it thought but that makes sense, and helpful to know the power line is just passthrough - thanks! (And thanks for the fast reply!)

    Current best practices for connecting to LED strings

    Thank you I will try both and see how I go. Also does anyone know if the 2811DC2-30 takes a particular voltage for the 2811 signal or will it adapt to whatever?

    Current best practices for connecting to LED strings

    Thank you, you are probably right re 2811 vs DMX - some of these ones will probably be a long way from the Baldrick so I think I am better off adding a separate controller (I'm assuming a Dig-Uno will handle it ok) so that the run is ethernet rather than 2811 (or even WiFi if I get stuck). How...

    Current best practices for connecting to LED strings

    Hi all and thanks for the great resources. I got started last year with pixel lights and a Baldrick Board from Hanson Electronics, and this year I was hoping to add some "normal" (2-wire?) strings to the mix. I'm also setting up a display for my church that will similarly be a mixture of pixels...
