Re: new song2016 The one that I didn't have in the 2015 Christmas show? Is this a trick question? I don't get it. Are we supposed to guess about your show?

Did you try just testing through the controller? I know the falcon controllers have a test button. Very easy to do testing without any network connectivity. Because I run 5v lights, I do all my testing with just a F4V2 and a phone charger wall wart wired to my F4V2. So simple to pull out and...

ah the good ole 5v vs 12v....my whole display if 5v (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ly1f7HvfSI) and I think it is far less of a hassle than all the extra power supplies I would need if running 12v....there's two sides to every point.

Today is the 1st day I learned that the 1st day of spring starts on 1 Sep in the home of this forum.

Well it's been a while since I posted over here but here it goes... At the U.S. Christmas Expo last week, I was carrying around a mesh/see-through backpack with pixels in the backpack running the whole time. Here's a video and description...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmvGwt0vApo

Well it's been a while since I posted over here but here it goes... At the U.S. Christmas Expo last week, I was carrying around a portable 2x2 P10 matrix. Here's a video and description... View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfq_Wr7l--s I have attached the sequence and image files below...

Yes, there are multiple posts and videos out there on various forums and youtube about this topic. They all work as evidenced by the videos and replies to the posts. Which one(s) have you tried? If you tried one and it didn't work for you, then there's several on here that can probably help...

I always over order by 10% when ordering pixels to allow for failure. This is a DIY, on the cheap, hobby. You can buy commercial grade RGB pixels from the likes of Minleon but be prepared to pay a lot more. I've never heard of someone repairing a P10 but I assume it could be done (although...

Welcome Jerry. This is a great place to learn about pixels. Make sure you check out the 101 manual.

I would suggest you also do more reading and researching about the hobby in general. If you purchased Advatek controllers, there are far more than 16 channels on a board but maybe you meant 16 ports. And if you bought 4 boards, you've got a bunch of channels to manage if you completely use...

I would avoid a shared drive situation like OneDrive or Google Drive. I tried it for a period last year and it was an utter disaster because of the live updating in more than one place. Dropbox is not live updating I don't believe....and as Gil points out, make sure you use the same path on...

Just sharing in case it might help others... https://youtu.be/ksVF-hUUKJU (Always connect ground first and be sure your controller can handle hot-swapping).

you can also look into a uAmp....http://falconchristmas.com/forum/index.php/topic,3226.msg35255.html#msg35255

Ray also swaps out links (best summary I can think of). Did a search today on something I've bought multiple times at $0.20 a pixel and could only find it for $0.26. Was concerned there had been 30% price increase during CNY. Then went to my order history and found the item and clicked on it...

Filled (whether resin, epoxy, etc.) means less chance of water intrusion (higher realized IP rating).
