the ic on my pyro pixel was "TX5803A CD2272" and i think that is the same as the p9828. this picture is the pixel next to the pyro pixel so its the same string/pixels etc. they all ran fine for 2 seasons and on the 3rd season one combusted. all up there were about 500 of these in the entire...

For laser cutting with coro you will want a honeycomb or slat bed that can allow the air to flow through it. If it was on a flat surface the bottom would melt. It also smokes a fair bit so you would want it enclosed with air extraction so you dont breathe in the fumes. If the cnc cuts it ok i...

I use a large format 180w co2 laser. I do have a cnc but the coro at bunnings does not produce the cleanest cut so i just use the laser. I started with a 20w optical power diode laser and that worked fairly well but certain colors it failed on, white and black were ok. this shows the speed of...
