Thanks I will get them on as soon as I get home from my other job. ;D

I have set up a 3 DC-48's controllers and have spent time doing all the sequences for my elements in Vixen. I have logged on to David's E1.31 program and can function the controller and elements but for the life of me I can't get them all to work in Vixen. I have tried multi-cast and then I have...

The last pixel on the test strip is red. When I power the board up. Could it be something I am not doing in Vixen?

yep sorry just a typo. Yep it has 5V on the strip and I have the doubled check the strip to make sure it is connected on the in side.

Thanks for your help. I will go and get that transformer. Can you help me in laymans terms where I would power this board up?

I have just received my 30 metres of LED Strips which are 12V 5050 -60- WS2811. They use 14.4W per metre. I have attached them to 25mm conduit and will be attaching that below the guttering. My question is in relation to the wiring and the best way to connect to the LED strips and size. I will...

G'day, I have been doing little things for Christmas on my house the last year for my kids and this year was looking to do a bit more. I am new to the world of RGB Lighting and general control of lighting and really have zero idea on the whole concept. However I am learning plenty from places...
