Hello & Welcome! We were just checking out the Puppetry museum in Atlanta (lots of cool Hensen stuff!!)

Welcome! (Also I used to live in York & then Shippensburg, PA... so nice to se another on the board!)

Yeah I'm contacting Holiday Coro and sending them vid...can't deny it's theirs with the sticker lol

Yeah I haven't had any complaints with them so far. They've even done a nice job updating on back-ordered items IMHO. I haven't done any videos as yet, but plan to once I have everything finalized and have a couple sequences that I didn't have to import, but created myself. (Feel bad about...

Well, that certainly doesn't sound good... I thought Joe Hinkle actually designed the boards? I've probably invested 1.5k with them so far, have 3 of their long range boards (including AC), so I'm fairly committed at this point. We'll see how this year goes, and look into Falcon for next...

@uncledan - I sense a back story there! Anything I should be concerned with? This is my first season with Holiday Coro's HinksPix, mainly because I couldn't seem to get/buy any Falcon V3/V4 boards, so I went with HinksPix. So far I've not run into any issues. (I do have some concerns...

I have the Hinks Pro as the main controller for my setup, using Xlights with it. What type of issues are you having? I recall getting the Hinks Pro setup itself wasn't too bad, but did have some issues in xLights, where I had to more directly address RGB channel starts (xlights kept assigning...

Ok, I was able to take a quick video. You can see when the fan "turns off" it seems the supply is still applying some power. The whistling will change in frequency (which is why I thought PWM) and each time it changes you can see the fan blade twitch. I have confirmed the PS cover is not...

I agree the HC megatree kit was overpriced. I already had a 16 SPI board with HinksPix Pro, so I bought all the other components separately from various sources for 35% less cost. For my setup, I did the following: -50% Max Brightness on all tree ports to reduce current draw -4 Total...

Oh geeze! Sorry to hear this happened, but at least they were discovered. I would be soooo distraught if that happens to me. I agree with the others, that I'd make them redo all the strings lol!! Did they just cable cut the cords and anchor wires and run off with it? I have CCTV too...

Nice to see another east coast member! This hobby certainly seems to be loving any disposable income I have! I started using DigiUno, got hooked and now getting into the big pixel controllers! Welcome!

This is a genuine MeanWell supply, and has their label/sticker... bought from HolidayCoro... https://www.holidaycoro.com/Meanwell-LRS-350-12-12-Volt-350-Watt-Power-Supply-p/47.htm @AussiePhil - It's brand new, not even 1.5wks old... @Kent - Very interesting because when it's turning, and the...

So i've been testing my controller setup inside, and am using a MeanWell LRS-350-12. After a period of time I could hear what sounded like "whistling"....sometimes afterward the fan would spin up, other times not. The whistle immediately goes away when the fan is running. So I investigated...

I was looking into high wattage Meanwell supplies myself, but due to the cost of higher (>350W) supplies, was just going to go with more multiple lower wattage units. I didn't even think about using my spare Dell Server's back up hot-swap-able 1100W supplies!! I have a few of those lying around...

Heya! I don't know why I waited so long to get into RGB lighting/sequencing!! Perhaps now my kiddo is in college and I have time to work on it?? lol After all I'm an EE, and musician, so you'd have thought a person who did a MIDI Light controller for the '96 senior project would have gone...
