[QUOTE="Mark_M, post: 116969, member: 29098"] <Post 2 of 2> I thought that post was getting too long so here's part 2. xLights has many immigrations with other controllers. xLights can configure Falcon, Kulp and Advatek controllers for you (and many more brands) ---- I am 12v pixels. Specifically the 12v Regulated versions. 12v gives longer runs without 'power injection' and the regulated version gives consistent colour. --- Yes, this is the exact one I have. I got mine from Ray Wu as well. --- Not a new version. Trouble with that version is they are prone to water ingress where the cables enter. Resin doesn't always get around the cable to seal it. The version I have has good waterproofing. --- To talk about control and apps like companies provide: What sort of functionality are you looking for? Have a search around for these software systems; [LIST] [*]xScheduler included with xLights is a show player. It will run the lights on your computer. Controllers connect with Ethernet. [*]Falcon (Pi) Player (FPP) is a portable show player. It runs on a small single board computer, like the Raspberry Pi. A Raspberry Pi uses very little power so it's something that can be left on constantly. [*]Remote Falcon is a viewer controller. It allows your viewers to vote for the next song. Create your own webpage and customise where buttons and information is. This runs with Falcon Player or xScheduler. [/LIST] xScheduler and Falcon Player have playlists and start/stop times. Extra functionality is external triggers, this could be a (physical) large button to play the next song for example. Other external factors could be a light sensor. Pixels are VERY bright, so some people have their pixels bright and the light sensor adjust the brightness into the night. xScheduler and Falcon Player allow for [U]you [/U]to control the show remotely. Both have a web interface. There is no 'apps' at the moment. Mainly because it's a pain to get approval from Google play and Apple for each update. There is also no need for an app because you just access the show players web interface in any web browser. [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
