I have never had an issue with Vixen at all, runs fine on my laptop with an external display plugged in, I always have the preview on one screen and Vixen on the other screen. I don't have a huge display but I can't see myself having any issues even when I increase my light count

I just wanted to clear up the Master and Slave thing for you since I run my show with 1 Master Pi and 5 slave Pi's. You have a Raspberry Pi that has FPP installed on it, this is the computer that runs your show, you don't have a computer connected to the Master Pi this is the computer. Then you...

Have you configured the output correctly? By default, the outputs are normally set to different pixel types so you will need to make sure that you are outputting to the correct pixel type before the test pattern works. Also the older firmware on the e682 doesn't work nicely with some ws2811...

Yup all power supplies are earthed 3 core mains to every controller box 3 of the controller boxes are running from the same power point in my carport. The power point is a 15amp power point that was installed brand new by an electrician for my welder. No earth issues with the plug I have...

Sorry for the late reply, I purchased myself a brand new TV since my old TV was having other issues as well, wouldn't you know it my problem is now solved, seems that the tuner in my old TV was also having an issue. I can still notice some interference from time to time and replacing power...

Is the answer of a satellite phone cheating lol Depends if it is totally deserted and void of any trees and rocks or does it have trees and rocks. If it has trees and rocks then some matches would be an essential item, once you got fire you are kind of set. If it was devoid of any rocks or trees...

Thanks team for your continued work on this application, I really enjoy using Vixen when programming my lights, I just wish that I was a little more creative in my lighting escapades lol. Now to start programming my lights for this year lol

Transmitting Digital radio is not going to be your friend. Digital radios introduce a slight delay, if you had a digital radio next to an analog radio you would noticeably hear the timing difference between the 2, this is further exacerbated by the fact that each digital radio will have or can...

Unfortunately, all of the dates mentioned do not work for me this year. I am working the weekend of the 4th and 5th, I am also working the weekend of the 25th and 26th. I have also been informed that I am not allowed to attend a mini on the head of the houses birthday again (seems to happen...

I have multiple Sandevice controllers. Very straight forward to assemble as long as you follow the instructions. I was a bit silly and just started assembling it and missed installing some of the sockets on the board for some components, not an issue just means it is more difficult to swap those...

I would also like to express my gratitude to all of the organizers past and present, running any kind of an event can get exhausting and it can make you lose interest in the very thing you are passionate about. Personally, I feel like I am at the point now where I have everything under control...

am running a bit late this morning, will still be there haha

Depends on where you will be plugging them into. Personally, I have a fly lead from the pixels to the pigtail, that way I have greater flexibility on plugging into the controller. If you had the pigtails directly connected to the pixels with no fly lead then you would need another cable to get...

You can get 12v 30 led/IC per meter strip, however, you might not find it as WS2811 or WS2812 it tends to be called 6803 (I think) which is compatible with the WS2811 standard. Typically the 12v version will be 3 LEDS per IC, as Jay.S suggested it has to do with dropping the voltage from 12v to...

These password vaults are also not 100% effective as hackers have also gained access to some password vaults, when they do they have access to every users account and all of their passwords. I typically have a different password for any website that has saved my credit card details so that if...
