OK thanks I'll give that a go. Just started pouring so it will have to wait.

Thanks for the advice, sorry how do I test the props with the multi meter? I'm a novice at the electrical side of things. lol its funny the meanwell PS's I have have all been the dodgy ones. The cheap China versions are all running strong. I have a falcon with some spare slots which I might try...

Hi, Just looking for some advice on my MKII. I've been using for a few years with no issue but for some reason it's gone flaky. I have it set up in two banks, 1 x 5v and 1 x 12v. The 12v is working fine but the 5v seems to be having low power/voltage. I only have 10 props connected in the first...

Hi Keith, How do you change the variant to utilise the expanded mode on the advetek controllers? I've just updated and all the ports past 16 are now showing as an error in the visualiser. Cheers

Yeah OK that makes sense. I'd only be looking up to 300 per string so well under those numbers. Cheers

Just off topic and slightly related for anyone who may know? If I want to expand the Mega Tree in the future but keeping the Star at 90 pixels, what's the maximum numbers of pixels can I run on the 15 strings for the controller? Power isn't an issue. Just looking for the max the controller can...

Wow thank you!!!! I don't recall ever picking the others but seriously missed it xD Looks good now!!!

Hi Everyone, I picked up a F48 with 4 smart receivers and was looking to use it just for my Mega Tree and Star. I plan to have 15 x 100 pixels and the star is 90 pixels. This will be the 16 ports on the 4 receivers. I've built the Mega Tree and Star in xLights (hopefully correct) but I'm not...

I looked at a rechargeable one and just didn't want to have to worry about it running flat or getting pinched. The rock ones look like rocks during the day, only have to worry about rock thieves :P

Sorry for the delay responding!!! I got the speakers of Ebay. From memory for the two it was about $90. I'll have Easily loud enough. I have the amp at about 45% volume and that's spot on. Over about 60% and they go crackly. Not too loud to annoy the neighbours but enough for the kids to enjoy.

I went the WS2818 12v version from Ray WU. So far no dramas using a F16V3 and a Advatek MKII. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32802742004.html?spm=2114.12010615.8148356.18.c2267a28l2671v

Hi Ash, I'm a little confused with what you asked so I'll tell you how I have my advateks set up. See if that answers the qty per output etc. I run all mine in expanded mode. I have 2 x long range MKII's. These go out to 16 x receivers (which gives me 32 outputs) which I use for many different...

Hey Andi, First thing just download the Advetek assistant and connect the Pixlite to a switch on your network. Once the assistant detects your Pixlite you can 'log in' (you don't actually log in) and have a play with all the settings. If you have a bit of an idea on networking it would be worth...

Finally got around to connecting the speakers. I just ran speaker cable to the black and red wires and they worked. Didn't use the white wire or disconnect the transformer block thingy so happy it's working ok. Picked up one of these to receive the FM signal...

Ok thanks. I'll take a crack at it on the weekend and let you know the results. I'll also check my amp. I'm pretty sure it's 6 Ohmz (it's a Panasonic SC-HT65) that's been sitting in the shed for a few years. Hope it works :(
