[QUOTE="phoenixthesmeg, post: 105379, member: 28737"] Hi, My name is Jacob and I joined last year but never introduced myself then. I have finally started getting some stuff done and since getting 2-wire strings was simpler and cheaper that is where I started and got a controller from Hanson Electronics (The DMX2-18) I have also bought a rPI-28D+ and some pixel strings to experiment with and maybe introduce next year. I have been using xlights and vixen which are both good (although I like xlights ability to create custom models). The one thing I haven't been able to do is get the strobe or twinkle effect to be exactly the same on all strings (If anyone knows how I can get that to happen I would be very grateful). I did get lucky with the candle flicker effect in vixen and got all channels identical but only once. It took me a while to get the pixels to light up but it turns out it was a bonehead moment on my behalf as I thought I tried wiring from either end but apparently didn't. It certainly is fun and interesting getting into the hobby and I look forward to intruding timed sequences in the future (just using a simple pattern for now). Oh yes, A big thank you to Alan from Hanson Electronics for pointing out a wrong item selection on my first order (asked fror the dmx-18 which doesn't suit 2-wire strings) and for all the cool stuff on the site that I have bought and drooled over.

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