I hadn’t thought of a splitter. Good idea. Honestly I just wanted to practice my soldering skills and try to fix it. I get a kick out of learning that kind of stuff.

I did, it didn’t help. Sorry I should have said that. I used some contact cleaner and a scotch bright pad hoping to rub it off.

Hello everyone. Hope your Halloween shows are going strong. I have a differential receiver that has a bad network/ethernet/RJ45 port. It’s not a big deal because the other one works fine. I think it just got corroded in storage. I’ll make sure to add a little dielectric grease to the pins this...

I’ve used them for making PI connections. They work great

Well, just to stir the pot a little. I appreciate all you guys have done to make fpp and xlights what they are. I could never have done this on my own. Seeing how much money I waste on chocolate and pop, if I need to pay a little for the program it’s totally worth it to me. And, unless I miss my...

So is this where I ask if soft white versus clear is better or if I should go 60 W versus 100 W

Yeah, first off just make sure it’s labeled correct. put the correct end as a start. Then similar to a comment made above I wired one of my arch’s backwards as well, and so what I did was make a sub model and started with the last pixel, putting it first and making this a model from there and...

you put the different submodels into a group then apply it to that group. but if you do it, as pixel, the entire submodel will light up not just individual pixels that the twinkle effect does.. You’ll have to do per model default, or per preview and if every submodel is in a group it’ll treat...

Thanks for the help. I did figure out how to run the effects through fpp. Looks like wled effects are built right into it through overlay models. Way to go fpp team.

I know I can do certain effects through fpp using the test feature it just seems like there is more built into WLED. I can also just build the affect using xlights and put them onto fpp. But my family knows how to use WLED and I don’t really want them touching FPP. I mess it up enough on my own...

Thanks for reading. I’ve got 4 nodemcu’s running my permanent lights. It was my first attempt at using pixels and loved doing it. But want to upgrade to something better. I would like to buy a kulp K8 controller to run them then that would give me room to expand my Christmas show. But during the...

Nice to hear of someone close by. I live in post falls. Welcome to the hobby.

I finally fixed it. I had to cut another pixel off of the first section. That star had two lights on it that were just staying on during setup and wouldn’t change colors while testing out sequences. So they both must have gone bad and been next to each other. I just don’t understand why it would...

I did replace it. But if it was bad then it wouldn’t light up the last 13 when using the alligator clips. So it must be good.

I triple checked that the wires were connected correctly and in proper direction.
