Activity Stream

All of those columns mean something and directly translate to the columns in the universe setup in FPP. In order they are: Active (1 for active, 0...

I've never tried these, but they came up while I was searching for something else. Might be worth a try. ...

The text file is littered with 1's and commas and it's kinda hard to read but i fixed that. When I import into Excel, I use the comma as text...

You can still use that universes file as a guide when setting them up manually.

Thanks Jon. I'm using FPP 2.4.4 so the universe file won't work but I can add the universes manually. Newer version of FPP uses .json files, not .txt...

As ukewarrior stated, your power supply @ 20A is too little for 700 Pixels. I have a 306 Pixel Mini-Mega Tree. I run a 12A, but at 70%, so your 700...

I just received the following message via popup. "an unexpected error occurred while drawing the grid. Please notify the vixen team and provide the...

Yes. But the bulk exporter makes this very easy to do them all at once. It will even generate the new universes file for FPP 1.x. Sent from my...

So like this from the wiki? Im using 18awg for injection.. So 6A fuses between PS and controller and controller and strips? ...

I got my 6" strings from HolidayCoro.

Sometimes injecting every 50 pixels means every 100 pixels. See below sketch. Appears to be 100 Pixels between injection, but the injection is 50....

This is what I was meaning earlier about "magical connectors".

I cut some sockets from a Christmas light AC string and use the bulb as a heater in the enclosure just incase of cold temps.

I say no, fuse for your wire size. But that is a whole new issue that most don't follow.

I don't think so. Each pixel draws 60ma or 0.060A full on. So... 100 * .060A = 6 amp. It seems to me at each injection point you would use a 6...

100% of my power injection T's and pigtails are three core. (Several hundred power injection points) I simply pull the male data pin and/or cut the...

Blackout Curtains work great. I had them when I lived in a loft downtown and it was pitch black in my place. I bought them at Walmart and I believe...

By looking at the video they should only take about 10 minutes to paint. Lol very nice job. I’m green with envy.

One additional data point: All of the WS2811 / WS2812 devices use a 5V Data line (even if the LEDs are running at 12v or 24v). That is why the...

It seems many manufacturers may not be following these guidelines.

Do a google search for "blackout drapes." You'll get lots of hits. Readily available. You could hang them from a spring-loaded bar (like a shower...

Thx for all the help... I am going with "B" as this is a 700 pixel matrix 14 x 50 and injecting every 100 pix. im using a 5v 20A PS.. so does this...
