Great info, I appreciate you keeping this in the back of your mind and mentioning things when you come across them. I have it still here on my bench and am working on sequencing my halloween display and that sign so I will let you guys know what comes of it. Thanks again, Pete

Hello, I am installing a new business sign in front of my store. And because of this stupid hobby ( which I love ;) ) I want to set it up with some Blinky. My issue is that for 90% of the time I want it to run on its own. So my question is, is there a pixel controller out there that using...

Hello, The description on Ray's site is throwing me for a loop. It mentions both 2801 and 6803 and says single color. Normally it mentions being able to do 256 colors etc. but this one doesn't. I am looking to use a j1sys ECG-P2 with these pixels and LOR. Just looking for clarification...

Super, thanks!

First off, Eddy bless you and your diagrams. They have cleared things up for more times then I can count. And your manuals. Thumbs up! Second, how do I order an ECG-p2? I can't find them on j1sys website, or eBay store. And on the same note, does this model come as a completed board? Running...

I just found this on Ray's site. Any chance this will run my board until I can build something that I can have more control...

This is all great news.... I would really like to get this guy up and running in my display. I am far from an electrical engineer or a programmer, so its going to take some research but Im on it. If you guys come up with anything else that might help let me know. Thanks for your input guys, Pete

Well I finally had a chance to open up the case of this sign and here are a couple pictures of the LED boards. Im hopeing that someone can advise me on what I can do to get these things lit up. One picture is the hookup, one is the IC, and one is just a pic of the boards out of the case...

Ok. When I go to the office tomorrow I will explore a bit more on the led boards themselves and see what I am working with. It would be great to get some use out of this thing. I will post what ever I find tomorrow. Thanks Pete

Hello, Thought this would be as good a place as any to ask. A few years back I bought an older led scrolling marque at an auction not even thinking that the sign would work for what I paid. Turns out plugged it in....thing works great! EXCEPT... No controller. So I can't control what the...

Thanks Eddy, I appreciate you taking the time to teach rather then tell. Helps me big time because I like to understand what is going on rather then just doing it. Thanks again, Peter

Does it change your recommendation knowing that there will be 30+' runs between the power and the first light? After Christmas when I use these lights for my store sign there will be 4 or 5 30+' runs going to the first light. Thanks, Pete

Stupid iPhone flips the picture sorry. Im sure you get the idea. ;)

My modules just came in. I had this power source laying around. Will it work to power one line at a time to test the strips? and once my DC controller comes in from LOR will I be able to use this to power all of the channels on the controller. Thanks for any input.

Thanks for the info FastEddy. I am in the US. I looked to find out how to put that in my profile but can't find it. I ordered a few of the sets that you recommended above and a controller from LOR. Hopefully it doesn't take too long. I have plenty to do till they get here. This is my...
