Nah, they all connect to individual pins on an Arduino not really good for connecting a bunch of wires together. Though screw terminals could work but in my experience in too lazy when packing it up to undo them all and I will literally just cut the ends off and make it a next year problem. A...

Yeah I've got a few of them. They work fine. I was just hoping someone else had alternative ideas to mine. For now I'm opting to use these banana plugs post things and some spade connectors. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNlMZ7R Things can change if I don't like it.

All good. The power8 fuse board is probably a bit over kill for this particular use. But thanks for your help anyway.

Thanks, I use QLC+ for my display. I find it easier for me to program and I believe it's easier to make interactive via Arduino acting like keyboards for user input. I was just looking for ways to connect something like 20 wires in a non permanent way to one wire. I think I'll go for a post...

More like basic control. Not really tuning on and off lots, more tun on here and there, I'm not sure exactly how it will be placed, but I'm looking at more groups then anything. I don't really do sequenced lights I just like to have a more cohesive display that allows for different elements to...

Nah, can't dim them they are animated already, I'm putting them in little jars I found, yes I am making my own candles, why because I wanted to. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKOAaeH I'm not really after individual control, just a simple way to connect like 5-10 to a single wire that connects to...

Hi everyone, This year I am looking to connect around 100 led candles to 9 relays in sets of 3. Im not exactly sure what would be the best, quickest, simplest and cheapest method to do this so I'm looking for some ideas. They only run 5v and current is low. And the plan is to run 6...

Simply, I enjoy it and the local kids love it. But I don't know if I'll do it next year.

Thanks mate. I'll do that.

Hi, I need a little help identify exactly which pixel is broken. Is it the first pixel that's dark that's broken or the last pixel that's lit that's broken. My issue is that data just isn't being passed on. It's also maybe an intermittent fault as I saw them broken (only a few pixels on) then...

Wish I had a look at this form earlier this week... Just went to check the machine and the motor appears to be dead, power is at the motor but it's not spinning. As for the gear box, while the lube I used turned a rusty brownish red, not much additional rust in it and everything seemed to move...

The headache of these machines... I've have the single bubble wand version and what's causing the motor on mine to to stop is the gearbox rusting up. For some unknown reason they used metal pins in the gearbox that easily rust. On top of that the gearbox isn't sealed to prevent moisture from...

Soooooo over the past few weeks I've been busy... Very busy. I've tackled half of my broken things pile (mostly just fixing bad wire connectors or things I broke while taking it all down. Removed all the pixels from my pixel tree strips, replaced them with new ones (the original where cheap...

Yeah I think you should be able to get one for hobby use, limited sure but still.

I just had a quick look at QLDs requirements, and it kinda read like you can't get one unless you need one for work even if you've done the course work... and I think that's dumb.
