    Sequencing Challange

    I am outlining my house with smart pixel strips. All I need is just the first few bars of any popular Christmas song (one I might have) to fit these RGBs. I have Xlights/Nutcracker, Superstar, and a massive LOR license. I have the controllers, the pixels strips, the software, and many years...

    Pixel Universes for House Outline

    My bad - guess I'm up too late. Meant to ask about # of Universes not Networks. Controllers are 1 AlphaPix™ 16 and 1 AlphaPix™ 4 Programming in LOR

    Pixel Universes for House Outline

    OK, it's me again. I'm learning fast but now I'm at a bit of a loss at setting up the Networks Universes for my house outline. A tree was easy as each run is of equal # of pixels. Not so much for the house outline. Attached is my house depicting each strip of RGBs and each pixel count. I now...

    Random Flashing on Unuses/Off Strips

    Thanks for the link. From that forum, it seems HolidayCoro is working for a Firmware fix. However it only occurs while the LOR Listener is running, so it makes one wonder where the problem is being caused.

    Random Flashing on Unuses/Off Strips

    I have the controller next to the computer - short run there. The strips are connect directly to the controller's pigtails - short run there too. A couple days ago I did test one strip for distance and was able to reach 40' (12.2m) on these HolidayCoro cables before any issues, so I think we...

    Random Flashing on Unuses/Off Strips

    I'm testing a new AlphaPix 16 – E1.31 along with Smart Pixel RGB LED - 30 LEDs/m 10 Pixels – 12v strips Problem: Pixels on other universes are randomly flashing, even when are not programmed. Also, when NO sequences running and all of the software is turned off they are still randomly...

    Ethernet Physical Security and your lighting controllers.

    Thank you for making everyone think about this. Real world example. I work in a secure facility, with a phone in an outside lobby (open 24/7) for visitors to request access. Recently we discovered the phone was on our internal VOX line. Someone could have unplugged the phone and plugged in a...

    Assist - Using Pixel Ribbons on House

    Xlights & LOR Are there any issues running 100'/30m cat6 cable from my computer out to a split then to each of the controllers? Currently 1 each - J1SYS P12R and AlphaPix 16 I also run 10 LOR CTB16PC - With the pixels, I may reduce that to 7 or 8 this year.

    Assist - Using Pixel Ribbons on House

    The auschristmas 101 manual was a great help. How do you use null pixels? Do you just add another channel on that Universe then not program it? Same subject - how far apart do these null pixels need to be every 10 ft / 3 m? The strips Ive purchased are: Smart / Pixel RGB LED Strip 30 LEDs/m...

    Assist - Using Pixel Ribbons on House

    OK, I'm taking the plunge from LED to smart pixels. Please be patient as I may be asking what may sound like stupid questions, but it's all new to me. I am outlining my house with 16 ft/5 m 2811 ribbons with an AlphaPix 16 controller. I know I can't control/power it all centrally as my house...

    RGB Pixel Mix 5V and 12V

    I currently am running 1,350 2811 Pixels using J1Sys P12R Controller and 2 5V Power supplies. I want to double that with Ray Wu 12V RGB Pixels. Question is - can I connect: Computer -> J1Sys P12R Controller -> New undetermined 12V Controller, or do both Controllers have to be on separate...
