I get this message on one of my requests..... "Uploaded file does not appear to be an MP3 file". However it is an MP3 and plays ok. I have converted it again into MP3 in case some codec problem but still same error.
Any ideas
My 2022 show is up and running, or it has been for a week or so. Any way thought I'd share.
Got some ideas for next year... expand column matrix's to 10 wide from 5, move the mini trees and arches to right side and replace with larger mini trees and fan arches, add some candy canes or pixel...
is it coincidental that almost all (bar one) of my currently 200 failures (and rising) are from my two high density props which run from the same PSU (which was set at 5.26v initially) and have both been wired with power injection the same way. Could someone please review my power injection...
Spoken with supplier who whilst willing to help, is confused why the failure is happening as I described... ie. worked correctly when tested but once on display outside for a period of time has started to fail many, many pixels. Has offered 500 replacement pixels but the batch in question was a...
Inscription on the black chip inside one of the pixels is
"WORLDSEM
WS2811

Also attached is a clip where I managed to film a poor pixel coming back to life by squeezing. This has happened a few times now but in the end the pixel plays up down the track.
Contacting pixel supplier as...
Thanks. Stored in garage.
Just want to know if I’ve been pushing 5.26v through them. Would this have damaged them, if so … all of them or some of them?
When the pixel goes faulty, everything down stream, stays on what the data previously had sent mostly. But on odd occasions it will flicker. Then of course it might right itself and work fine for a while.
this morning I have adjusted the voltage down to 5.04v, same problems. But when about...
Just checked the voltages coming out of my control bo and differential boxes.
Main control box 5.07v
Differential box 1 (the one my matrix plugs in to ) 5.26v
Differential box 2 (tested with this one as well with no change in result) 5.17v
Just checked my other differential build which I tried as well with no change in result, and it has a voltage of 5.17v outputting through the cable. My main control box outputs 5.07v.
Answering your queries Alan...
String lengths? 610 ish depending on prop
Position in the string? varies, replaced about 25 pixels so far across multiple strings, identified at least 10 more spots where it intermittently doesn't push data through, or it is corrupted
Position in relation...
HELP!
Having so many problems with not only my matrix but other props as well, including my PPD Wreath. Have swapped out more than 30 pixels, with no let up in site. Is it a BAD batch of pixels or is there something sinister underneath!!! I did mention some of this back in an older...
