cool looking for to seeing details on this btw got my order today many thanks Chris

Interested in a F16v3

yes makes more sense sticking with what you already have

Fing Must have been half asleep last night, below is true for the PSU but not the LED's Running the LED's at 5V is much more efficient than 12V unless you are using the pixel strips that use a switch mode PSU every meter but most seem to just use resistors to drop the voltage creating big losses...

cool will drop in to see you Cheers Chris

Sounds like a plan Troy, you going to be at your work tomorrow by any chance?

This is a short video of the Mega Tree I made for this Christmas, frame is gal pipe and gal strip bent and welded to make a ring at the top and bottom Has 16 strips 2m long with 60 pixels per strip using these...

Wow close I am in Weaver Cres Watanobbi :confused:

Hmm I wonder how that would go at rolling up? Need to be able to get it thru a standard sized door to store under my house Where on the coast are you located? I am near Wyong

Now that I have gotten my head around the software side of controlling pixels with Xlights/Falcon Player etc. and most importantly have the ok from the minister of finance since she liked the way the mega tree and small matrix(30x30 pixels) looked. I thought it would be best to get some input...

Ok so the semi good news is that the sequence got corrupted when I added the new model to it Even the sequence I based it off got corrupted :confused: I have just done a quick new sequence with one of the animations that I use on the matrix and just some basic stuff for the tree and two strips...

Ok yes all the -ve are connected yes all LED's light when I do the test pattern I have disconnected the new LED strip and loaded up an old sequence into the Falcon Player and the matrix/pixel tree and original pixel strip are all working as they should So it looks like I need to start...

Hi AAH, I have checked using the CHECK SEQUENCE and no errors The pixel Tree is on its own 400W power supply the others are running off another 400W power supply but I have the matrix limited to 30% brightness and the other pixel strings limited to 40% brightness in the setup of the Pixlite 16...

This is the first year that I have started using my Pixlite controllers My setup is as follows Dedicated wired network for the lights Raspberry Pi 3 B+ running the latest version of Falcon Player Pixlite 4 with 960 WS2811 RGB as a mega tree Pixlite 16 with 900 RGB WS2811 as a matrix, 46 RGB...

Thanks heaps Nuzzy have managed to get it working tonight, you were right in that it was an addressing issue, not in xLights but in the Pixlite itself still not sure why it is working as the settings I used seems like it should not address correctly but hey I am not complaining :) now just to...
