I have 7 central control boxes spread around the property connected to separate power circuits . Each contain 6-8 x 350Watt PSU and each switched central control is individually turned on by digital timers.

240 volt power requires an electrical license. It's invisible, it bites and it can kill - even the most experienced electrician. I believe You can perform electrical work on 36 volt DC and under without a License. Most of us work with 5 - 12 volt DC. - Remember even fires can start at these...

Yep that's Queensland for you. I had a limited electrical license for my business - was so hard to get it. It was Disconnect /Connect which basically meant you can remove a power lead and reconnect the power lead. You couldn't remove a single power point and replace it with a double - that...

At the moment, (things change with time) it is to be a mid sized pixel tree. 3.3mtr high. I am trying to develop an interactive system where the user can play a keyboard and activate the lights, but my extremely limited electronic skills are holding me back when it comes to pixels. I had...

Unfortunately for me, nothing is going up as we are dark this year due to major landscape renovations. As a typical male - I can't do two things at once. This year I created: 13 pixel x tomato cage trees complete with stars. 16 x White LED Snowflakes - still not sure how I'm going to mount...

I have a 6.5 metre 360 degree Mega tree made of 50mm round gal pipe which uses a pulley/winch system to raise and lower the head. I have 900mm of round PVC pipe embedded in an in ground concrete block with a plastic screw plug to stop dirt and ants from getting in. The pipe is accessed...

Well done. It takes me two days just to get my "Stuff" out of storage. I like the Santa sleigh and reindeer ! How do you get on with mowing the Lawn? I have 30 1 mtr high deer, 3 x trees and 1 x 2 mtr high deer I need to move to cut the couch turf 3 times a week. This season will see the use of...

welcome Mark. Are you looking at doing your singing faces with Old school dumb strings (like me) or are looking at smart pixels? Synchronising either takes a bit of time, but I believe it's easier in X-lights if you have the lyrics. (I'm LOR S4 and S5 supposedly makes it easier) Plenty of...

Dang it all. I'm working that weekend. :cry:

I wrap mine in bare 240 volt cable that goes around and into the boxes and then come out and wired directly into a dummy power switch padlocked to power on. I have the bare wires hooked up to a Tesla coil so they emit blue sparks Just Joking. Mine are old analogue boards, mounted on top of...

Ahhhh. Got ya. I thought it was a combination of LOR and DMX settings and all off the 1 dongle, not converting all to DMX Thanks for the help Allan.

ok, So if I set LOR network to none, how do the LOR boards function ?

Should I perhaps run this on its own dongle network, rather than trying to combine it with the LOR dongle? I have 7 x cmb24 boards and 20 x cmb16 boards on this dongle network.

Hi Allan Sorry, yes I missed your FB Reply. Yes the LOR comm listener is on. Yes the board works with da tester. screen shots attached. I am pretty sure I have the set up correct - but you never know. Peter

Hi All. I need some LOR - DMX help ... yeah, yeah, I know Use X lights - use a Falcon. ;) I have a LOR system that runs off the red Dongle I am using CMB16, CMB24 and Pixie16 boards and everything works fine. I have acquired 3 x AAHMEAGA60boards that I would like to incorporate into my...
