    Power Injection - Back Feeding Issue - Singular PSU

    You've got me paranoid haha. When I get home tonight from work, I'm going to check every single connection etc. If this is truly the case, my deepest apologies for wasting everyone's time haha.

    Only one power supply going to both sides of the controller.

    Power Injection - Back Feeding Issue - Singular PSU

    This is what scares me haha. I've gone through what I thought was every possible YouTube video on power injection and was so confident it was correct. Yeah I'll add power at the end once I've figured out this first. Conscious I don't want to add more variables to the mix. There is nothing...

    Power Injection - Back Feeding Issue - Singular PSU

    Hi, I must be doing something wrong here. When I am power injecting via a Tee, it appears to 'taking voltage' from the following props to the point where they stop working. Then removing the power injection, causes things to work again (to the point where lack of power injection is the issue)...

    Must click 'Render All' to see any changes in Xlights

    Hi, I am hoping someone can help because I am losing my mind creating this last sequence. I don't know if I've accidentally clicked something to cause this... But long story short, every time I make a change when building a sequence in Xlights - for me to see the effect in the Model Preview...

    Need Recommendations for Waterproof LED Strips for long runs

    I'll be giving this a crack. Stupid me, I bought 50m of pex pipe from vevor, hoping I could use it to diffuse and waterproof the led strips. Pex pipe was aluminium lined and no light gets through haha. I committed to 60m of ws2811 silicon coated led strips (ali) and bought silicon tubing as a...

    Need Recommendations for Waterproof LED Strips for long runs

    Hi, This is probably more of an 'exterior landscaping' question - but I thought I'd post here as I'd love to connect the lights to the Christmas Light Shows we do (either via WLED or Falcon boards). I am looking to put LEDs around these square concrete pads which have rocks between them. I am...

    F16v4 with DMX

    Thank you the detail here, you've given me a few extra things to consider. While I'm usually the wing it type also, I have an opportunity to get quite a few DMX devices at discount if I bulk buy so I figured I'd better do my research first! I'll take your advice and get a few amplifiers just in...

    F16v4 with DMX

    Thank you heaps for the prompt response and fantastic detail throughout. Genuinely appreciated. I guess this weekend I'll be much poorer as I commit to a few DMX device purchases and start testing now!

    F16v4 with DMX

    Thank you to all last year who got me through my first show! Looking to scale up this year and redesign a few things. I've started looking into DMX and all the cool things which can be done with it. I am keen on adding moving heads, fog, snow and bubble machines eventually. My understanding...

    Flickering Pixels after an ornament (all of a sudden) - Troubleshooting Steps

    Anything requiring soldering of the boards is beyond me. I don't have the confidence that I wouldnt screw it up. That said, I've stocked up on f-amps for this year :) I've posted another q on the forum in an attempt to scale up the show. Bunch of new questions haha.
