Dan, thanks, about 2secs after I sent the request I noticed your web sight had the info, so all is good.

Go one fired up and connected to a string of 50 pixels, it takes longer to get the written into vixen than it's does to connect in wifi.

I am still thinking of ideas that I can use these for, but I am thinking of making some small trees or reindeer and putting the on the other side of my street intersection where's there's an island and run them off a battery.

Thanks for the quick service and for programming them. Richard.

Dan, just a quick point and I am not sure why but the stik is working fine, but does not show up on a FING scan of my wireless network, i have tried in both DHCP and static ip modes and I can t see it when I scan the network with Fing. it does however show up in a browser and allow me to make changes or start the test patterns so it all seems to work. Do you know why this might happen?

Interesting..... I haven't noticed that issue at all. Very odd.
I will try to reproduce it and come back to you.

I am struggling to reproduce it mate.
Running FING on my Samsung Galaxy S7 and it seems to find them OK?

Buggered if I know too , Fing has never let me down before and I wasn't aware you could hide anything, I did change the host name but other than that I would expect it to show up in fing, I run a mix of static and dhcp in the office, with dhcp running up to ip .....100 and above that i have sections for different types of gear, with a FPP running the matrix on .....141, I have set the Wixel to be .......142.

I'll makeup one of the others later and test it out.

 

[Richie4540]

Just made up another one, it too is not showing up on Fing - it dhcp .and got 192.168.1.3 and is driving 50 pixels, also after a few minutes it stops responding to web page updates, maybe its my work network, so will try over the weekend at home.

Yes it does sound like a weird network related problem doesnt it.
