I run an old 55inch plasma as part of my display. Luckilly it's set up in the garage, sitting on an old coffee table. I just move it in and out each night (dependant on weather of course). I originally had a 3 x 4 P10 panel setup, but when I was given the TV for free, I couldn't pass it up. The...

Hey All Has anyone come across an issue with the F16v5 where the ethernet ports suddenly stopped working? I had it up and running for a week (3 - 4 hours a night) and it was working perfectly until 2 hours into running last night. I noticed that part of my show appeared frozen, so went to...

Just got a message from a friend who owns a Tesla to say that I should now buy one seeing as they can now run xlights! The latest software update includes "Light Show" which runs using xlights and FSEQ files https://github.com/teslamotors/light-show Congrats to all the devs on becoming...

If you are looking to buy your FM transmitter now, I just picked up one of these - best price I've seen for a while. It's a CZE-05B...

Hey All I am looking at adding a driveway outline this year and wondering what is the best thing to use? My driveway is 10m long each side (curved and downhill) and at this stage I'm thinking of using some plastic garden edging...

This is what it ended up being - I have the receiver in dumb mode but had it mapped to Smart Receiver A in Xlights - moved a single dip switch and all good. Clearly a PEBKAC error. Note to self - don't do a full days work then extra hours on lights or you end up doing stupid things......

Can confirm the 5.3v on the smart receiver. Rest of the string and 2 other attached seem to work ok. Have tried another string with another pig tail and it does the same thing.

Put this in the "I'm sure it's been asked a thousand times" column but, anyone got any idea why I have 6 pixels lit yet nothing being sent from the controller? I think it has something to do with a channel issue but can't find anything on here (not using the correct search term). Running this...

Have managed to resolve this in a roundabout way thanks to a suggestion over on the falcon Christmas boards. It was all thanks to an idea to use sub models! In the end I gave up trying to run 2 colorlight cards and ended up running both lots of panels through 1 controller. I then added the...

Hey guys I have set up and configured in colorlight 2 separate LED screens (3 x 4 and 3 x 1). Just wondering how you go about setting that up with FPP? I started off with xlights scheduler and the colorlight plugin but having issues with it holding colour settings (keeps resetting the panel...

Hi All I am struggling to get my 64*32 outdoor P5 (1/8 scan) panels configured in LedVision - has anyone used these previously or have any suggestions? I have a Colorlight 5A-75B receiver card and have tried both V5 and V6.9 of the LEDVISION software with no joy. I've gone back to the...

I hadn't had any luck - was going to rig something up with a bit of ply as a backing board and using the silicone seals as a template. Might have to have a look at these now - just need to find someone to print them for me :)
