I end up replacing the pixel on the snowflake and seems to have addressed the problem. I'm thinking that perhaps my heat shrink solder tubing somehow didn't make a good connect when I initially build the snowflake.

Hello, so I have a snowflakes that's I've wired up from GE. I had to do some soldering to get my 112 nodes. My question is why does one of the lights stay somewhat lit even after I've turned off the sequence or test mode off on my F16v3? It doesn't turn off until I unplug the lights from the...

Is there any pros/cons to Black or White Coro color? Does the color of the coro make a difference on the light show?

My longest cable run is approximately 15ft from controller and bought a few f-amps. I was thinking of 18/4 cable and doubling up two wires(approx 15awg based on online calculator) for power injection and also using the same wire for normal wiring (2 wires) V+, (1wire) V-, (1wire) data. I have 2...

I was going to go with r2r as well but after someone mention the same thing Jay indicated regarding power supplies. So I bought the controller separate and bought all the hardware from Wired watts to build my own which was a good learning experience. I have 2 power supplies stacked using the...

Based on 400 pixels x .055 watt(per pixel) x .30 brightness puts me at 6.6amps which puts me over the 5amp on controller port 1 which is why I was trying to power inject at pixel 201and cut power at pixel 200. I provide an updated diagram, not sure if that helps.

So I'll stick to power injection as to not exceed 5amps of lights which is around 300 12v pixels @30% brightness and not to exceed 7amps on any given wire run and not to exceed 80% of amps/per power supply(LRS350w 30amp). I'll get a power distribution board to inject where needed. Does this...

My apologies, my diagram wasn't clear. These are supposed to be 4 strands of lights all connect together 1=>2=>3=>4.

Thank you for the response. In my diagram, the red V+, black V-, blue is data. The V+,V-, data are coming from port 1. What I'm trying to get my head around is not blowing out the 5amp fuse on port 1. So if i inject power between pixel 200 & 201, will power travel back to port 1 5amp and pop it...

Hello, I am trying to understand best practices for power injection and how much load can be put on a cable before frying it. I have an F16v3 with 2 power supplies (PS1/PS2), to power each side of the board and using 12v pixels. I have a strand of 400 lights I want to connect to port 1 and...

Colleague on Zoom answered my question. File > Sequence Settings

Is there a way to figure out the FPS a sequence was created on?

Thank you for your quick response, greatly appreciated!!!! Since you mentioned Pixlight, now going to go see what that is

So it sounds like I'm better going the F16v3 controller. Just wanted to make sure to make the best choice from the get go before taking the plunge since I will start working on buying stuff for next year since thisnyesr didn't quite work out.

Thank you for the quick response. So the kulp controller requires BBB in order to run?
