Plus we decided that we wanted to keep our display safe, so installed 6 4K cameras around my house.. 3 are being used to keep an eye on our display..

After spending a lot of time in the xlights zoom chat over the last couple of days I have found that a lot of problems people are having is to do with power... eg do I need to power inject or is it a bad pixel ... so I just built this

It’s a 5v to 24v panel meter with ray wu 3pin on one side and a 2pin on the other

This means you can plug into the out of a prop and see what’s the voltage is..

A lot easier then trying to use a multimeter

Also can use to check volt on your contorller too


Just an idea

Hey All
Well my Display is up and running.. everything has been going great until yesterday.. FM transmitter died..

But a msg and a phone call later the great @LawrenceDriveLights is lending me his spare until I Have a new one.. 2 Nights with out music is better than 5 to 6..

This once again proves how much of a great community we have not only on ACL but also the xlights community across the world..
I have been help people all across the world in xlights zoom meetings and they keep asking what I can do to pay you back..

Its simple.. Help someone when you can.. This might be your 1st year but next year there will be a whole heap of new 1st years..
