well if either one of us does map them, can we help the other out :-)

i have a lot of old Reindeer that move their head and just have white flashing lights, with a solar controller, i want to convert these to 5V RGB Seed pixels, i was planning to just follow the orgirnal layout of the white LED lights, as it wraps around the reindeer frames, but should i just...

agreed, not the best for a Fresh new comer unless they want aVery steep learning curve

try it again with the 12V going to both the Left side input and the right side input dont forget they are reversed on one side, so watch to ensure you get Positive and GND the right way

dont you need 12V to each input ? looks like you only have incoming power to one side of the board ? both sides need to be fed if you want to use all 16 ? each side only power 8 ports each

well the lytworkx are basically 5v seed pixels anyway

why not both, Like ME i run 12V for bullets and LED strip , with 5V for Seed pixels, and lytworkx decorative units from bunnings

good work Tanjen, we hope you enjoy the hobby and altough it can be hard at times, its is a fun and amazzing hobby, and the enjoyment you will see on the kids and adults alike watching your display when you get it running will all be worth the effort remember we are all here to learn and to help...

wouldnt the octoscroller from hanson electronics do the same thing ?

i used this for 2 years to ensure all my standard 2 wire lights all did the same function / program all night every night, and it will still do it for may years to come, until i finally replace all lights with Pixels

hanson electronics DC2-24 - prebuilt ready to run, can be used as a stand alone controller, anything plugged into this controller, will do the one setting for all outputs will allow for 12 outputs https://www.hansonelectronics.com.au/product/dmx2-24rtr/

this is why im leaning towards pulsemesh this year, i used tune 2 last year, as my street you cant really park out the front, so FM even though i have it, is not really an option, i really prefer people to park up the street and walk down to enjoy the show, so im going to have QR codes for pulse...

if we use pulse mesh because it only allows you to view and listen to sites withing a radius of your device ( phone / ipad) do we need a broadcast licence ? or is the apra licence enough ? i understand needing a acma licence for broadcasing FM but streamiing is diffirent pulesmesh only allows...

im sure the donations refers to donating to the people who are doing the display (ie you, people cant dontate to you to saay thankyou ), taking donations for other charities would be exempt, thats how i would understand that

so do we need to get a bradcast licence if were only transmitting on 0.5mw and the reach distance is only 50m max and if so who do we apply to the ACMA ?
