The bottom of the tree is where the pixels start (pixel 1). On other sequences, I have all white turned on without problems, so not a voltage problem. Each string is it's own universe and with 50 pixels each, they are set up to 150 in xlights/nutcracker. Those settings won't matter because I...

Hello all! I have a pixel tree with the strings running on two J1Sys ECG-P12R's and the star on a ECG-P2. All controllers have their own power supplies. Pixels are WS2811's 5V running at speed of 3000. Each string is it's own universe...and really everything works perfectly through the whole...

What is the general consensus on the WS2811 pixel speed for the P12? 2400? Thx!

Thanks! These recording tutorials are quite useful!

Sean, I looked for the animated gifs that you populated into our library space and can't find any. I found some good gifs, but they aren't 32x32 and Nutcracker isn't resizing them...well...at least it appears it isn't. :) Thx!

I got it figured out! I didn't press the Submit form TWICE to create the model. That's a tricky one you may want to consider changing. Thanks!

Sean, I tried using it but I was only able to view the first set of parameters screen. It never took me to the next page...and instead I get this error: "/users/meighan.net/htdocs/nutcracker/effects/workspaces/417/ROOFLINE~ROOFLINECHASE.gp", line 36: warning: Axis range undefined due to...

Sean, Ran into a recent problem with the old instance of Nutcracker. I can't seem to copy any of the Gallery items to my effects. I can view them and choose to copy them without error, but when I go to do it, I get the following (and it doesn't show up in my effects): select username from...

Sean, thanks for doing this! It is possible to make the video crystal clear? I viewed the first tutorial and the voice comes through perfectly, but the screen is so blurry it is very hard to tell what you are doing. Thx!

That would be incredible! While you are at it, you may want to consider adding a spin option. Imagine snowflakes falling and spinning (slowly) during the fall. Too cool...

Sean, I'm new to Nutcracker, but learning quickly. I went through the tutorials and went to create a model megatree only to notice that it no longer asks for the details of the tree (i.e. height, width, distance between strings, etc.). Did you make this change on purpose? If so, will it...

Sean, how about enhancing the text effect to scroll the text at an angle? Also would like to see pictures have some way of being off the matrix, then scrolling onto it from top, bottom or angle. It really seems that you can take everything within your setup and make it so much more detailed (as...

AussiePhil, Good questions. :) The plan is to have 24 strands of 50 pixels and wired one per output...which means I'll need two of the ECG PR12's powering them. I just realized that the 50 pixels for item #2 do not state their overall length, but see they are around 11mm in-between each, so...

AussiePhil, bringing up this topic again as I plan to use the same pixels as you, but have a couple of questions that I hope everyone can answer. My Megatree string lengths will be approximately 5.5 meters. Can these pixels be extended easily to make the full length? How are they terminated...
