So if WLED is performing fine for you already, I don’t think I’d bother trying to change the firmware. But if that’s not the case - there’s a few things: ESPixel stick can run as an “FPP Remote” so instead of streaming all show data to it, you upload the files ahead of time and just stream...

hey Kym, Just the 3 trees and no other pixels? Any sequence with a singing element should be able to work with them. I’m not sure you’d want to group them — but if you have a lyric timing track - you should be able to use the singing face effect referencing that timing track and get it...

anything unique about your home network/router setup? Could you be blocking the connection to the update server somehow? (Does the Baldrick have any logs or anything @domhodgson ?)

Per the advice from Paul (and his manufacturer) - you should for seeds bought from light-it-up leds: https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/new-online-store-in-oz-light-it-up-leds.13581/page-15#post-136785 The issue with swapping the primary/secondary around -- if you connect the only...

I quite like the Seed Joiners that @AAH sells: https://www.hansonelectronics.com.au/product/seedjoiner-v2/ All of my seed pixels that I've added a pigtail use some of those. For the 2nd data line -- most go to Ground, some are recommended to go to Data In. Where did you get your seeds from...

Agree that pi3->pi5 is fine for what you’re doing - no need to upgrade. I assume the kit was something like this? https://www.christmascreations.net.au/product/2d-singing-tree-faces/ Is the player just using FPP? If you have existing lights you want to sequence - the spare ports on those...

(And while not technically Coro -- https://www.inkcreations.com.au/product-category/christmas/ also sells some props (although christmaspropsaustralia has a much bigger range))

So you *might* be able to control them with something like this: https://www.hansonelectronics.com.au/product/dmx2-24rtr/. (It might be worth reaching out to Alan directly to check compatibility). In theory - you can also buy pixel festoon lights (eg...

if the 12V PSU worked with the 12V strip and popped the "12V seed pixel" -- is it possible Ray mislabelled his seed pixels and shipped you a 5V one? Are they 3 wire or 4 wire seeds? Are you sure they were wired correctly? Got a photo?

Advatek might be another good source: https://www.advateklighting.com/showcase/architecture

Welcome! If you share a link to the specific trees you bought - I can probably point out the model in xLights (it will be under EFL or Boscoyo). In terms of what you need from here. The 101 guide is a good place. ( https://auschristmaslighting.com/wiki/AusChristmasLighting-101 ) Your...

You should probably put that in a seperate post. I also would not suggest a LOR/ribbon light setup to someone new and getting started.

I've used wago plugs (or perhaps should say "wago style" from aliexpress) and they work well.

@Domestos —- looks like you might be in luck. Ink Creations now stock some: https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/ink-creations-pixel-pixel-hardware-supplier-in-australia.16945/#post-143579

so Ink Creations does sometimes stock pixels, but I believe they are currently out of stock. At one point ETOP claimed to have an AU warehouse - not sure if they are still doing that. There are also options on Amazon that are shipping from Aus. But everything else is pretty much just out of...
