Thanks for the assistance and advice everyone, i've placed my orders, so hopefully can get building by the end of August.
Went with the Falcon F16v4 as it actually worked out much cheaper than the Advatek controller, plus the support base is most likely much wider as it's the favoured...
Hi All,
I offloaded my controller last year out of sheer frustration, however i'm ready to get going again. A little bit about me, i can build stuff, i can think up stuff, but i can't solder. At all. SO the easiest to put together for me, the better.
I'm looking at putting together the...
Mate can you please pm me a screenshot of what that all looks like? Obviously with your ip's and such. But i'm really getting set to bin all of this.
edit: this seemed to work a bit, but now only the top 6 strips light up. The show seems to have shifted up there because I can tell that it’s...
hi team, is someone able to help me configure my pixlite and ports etc to work with my homemade matrix and xlights? I can zoom both this machine and my show machine so i can chat and work at the same time... testing works fine, but when i run the sequence it's nowhere near what it should be...
I know I’m leaving this late, but I started setting up today and there’s a lot of weirdness happening. I have a pixlite 16 channel, last year it ran 8 mini trees and 4 lines. Each tree was one 5m 2811 strip, each line was 3 ws2811 strips. Have had it all running off 7 outputs, and it worked...
HI Mate, Welcome.
If you want to get up and running this year, you'll need to move fast and get all Oz gear. I use a Pixlite 16 MkII from http://www.advateklights.com/ however if you just want to start with some mini trees, start off with a Pixlite 4.
I used WS2811 LED strips, jump on ebay and...
Controller arrived today. Have emailed Ray for a price on combined purchase for my lights and have sourced frames for trees. Going to use my daughter's netball hoop for mega tree and anchor with weights. Have one 400w psu, need to get a few more and then I'm ready to rock. Will keep asking for...
Ok, so the Pixlite strings/strips must run the same protocol...so would these 2 work fine at the same time?

Thanks so much for the tips, I've started the hunt for a falcon and looking to get ordering next week.
Will post updates as I progress through my build.
Hi everyone,
I've finally decided (been given permission by the mrs) to ramp,up the light show, so here I am.
I've posted my idea, so hopefully you guys can help me out with a shopping list and some links to buy stuff.
Cheers,
Prendy.
