That was just me being a bit lazy! :-)

I agree @Skymaster! Being able to tinker with a relatively cheap entry cost is so much fun. The products that @AAH sells should come with a warning. This is addictive!

Thank you again for the help form this forum this year! Wouldn't have happened without your assistance and resources. The goal for me in continual improvement and I think I am getting there: View: https://youtu.be/XzAgomqh9sQ Compared to last year...

Thanks heaps for the input all! I will likely upgrade next year. I have a few solar fairy lights in the garage. I will put them on the multi-meter, and see what they are doing. Cheers Simon

Yep! Last year was my first time playing with the lights. The DMX2-24 was so I could bring my current lights into sync. I know I will likely setup some pixels in the future however I purchased a second DMX2-24 for this year so I could expand slightly without breaking the budget! Uh well ... I...

Has anyone else noticed that Bunnings have drastically reduced the number of lights they stock in the 2 wire fairy lights? My lights are exclusively run on the DMX2-24. They no longer stock the 250 light runs, and the 500 run options are no longer in the Christmas area, just floating around the...

Tested again and no cigar. I tried a few different tests, including Black --> 0V, Red --> 0V. And in both scenarios I was getting no output on the light bar (compared to the low output in other tests) I re wired it to 2 (numbered) terminals, and still seeing the low output. (I don't think I...

As always. Thanks for your help Alan. I didn’t quite follow the comment incoming V- and an output. I assume V- is the black wire off the LED light. What is the output in this scenario? Either way I may grab a diode to see how it improves the scenario. It is a fun concept and keen to get this...

Full sent it :-) and no luck. I get light output, but very dull. Tested with the Test Harness in xlights. Changing the highlight intensity in the test options from low to high, and besides some faint flashes no change to the output. The flashes appeared to be similar to the PWM strobing...

Thanks @Skymaster, I don't think the reduced duty cycle will be an issue. The Diode (and resistor) was what I did to include a 3.XV circuit last year, assumed I Would need it for this setup as well I want to run 2 floods due the angles, and due that that, I am confident I only need a...

That is amazing! Easier that I thought. I will wire them up and check the throw, however I expect I will likely keep it well below the full output. Should I place a diode on the circuit? or just make sure I don't use the the other channel? Simon

Evening All! Last year you were an amazing help with my setup issues, and hope you can help with my current challenge. Last year I ran a DMX2-24 with a FPP on Beagle Board to bring my Bunnings fairy lights into sync (Thanks to @AAH and @David_AVD for their amazing support). This year I have...

It came together!!! That’s all for your assistance.

A little bit of RTFM and i was able to find the layering settings. Using the addition layer I found I could keep the alternate lights on and go between 5% and 100%. Saved that effect and going to play tomorrow!

I am trying to go for the more 'fadey' option. However whenever I tick the 3D option the output on the nodes disappears. Setting for the 'on' layer Setting for the Bar without 3D Setting for the bar with 3D. I'm sorry to ask so many questions. I feel I am so close!
