Bunnings also sell the "40mm head pipe saddle clip", but at nearly $7 a pair.

Since you only mention using capes to control the lights. Have you checked FPP to make sure you have not accidentally enabled e131 outputs etc (especially the keep sending option) which would bombard the ethernet connection into the home network.

Data sheets that i have seen for the 2811 list the two operating frequencies for the chip, then just say the LEDs are driven by constant current. I presume this is a PWM signal - if so what is that actual PWM frequency? (Do not have a scope to check it myself). Thanks.

Possibly the controller config has the port expanded into smart mode but the receiver is in dumb mode

Change the tree to 1 string that consists of 16 strands.

Had same issue with dumb receivers. In my case it occured when i expanded the falcon port config to show i was using receivers. When i collapsed the config back to just show the ports 17-32 it worked normally. Seen a post somewhere that described same issue - the dumb receiver is getting the...
