Mike is being way too nice on the CCA. CCA is trash. Save that wire for something else, but not for year-round house exterior lighting. I use...

Thanks for the heads up. I also see I could get a spool of 16 AWG CL3 99.9 OFC 65 strand Outdoor Speaker Wire for like $50 that would cover all my...

I rest ip address. When I hit the open on the settings of controller in xlights, I finally got web page to open and show this. It's a start. Thanks

Take a look at this video. I just copied the design a few weeks ago, and it’s very sturdy. https://youtu.be/VeJrtxmI_9E

This is 1st year using xlights and completely in the dark about setting up controller. I used LOR for about 15 years

This is my computer configuration

I guess I'm not sure what you mean. I'm sorry. Set the address on what

That is not the address you set it to. Try setting it again.

Be careful with the CCA. If you already have it, use it but do not over current it and check for corrosion each season. There are several "case...

Yes, I did.

Have you tried any other tools to communicate with the controller ? Here is a e1.31 test application that is free to download . you can use...

Have you configured the controller and saved your settings within its firmware ? Are these setting supportive of your xlights settings ?

My PC is 192.168.001.001, my controller is192.168.001.062

the ip of the controller should not be the same as the pc. Each controller needs a unique IP and should all be dfferent from the pc.

Any other advice besides zoom room? Much appreciated

Thanks! I will try that. Like you said, videos are somewhat confusing.

Another way of solving this, as many of us have done, is run higher voltage (36V is what I did) and put in a buck convertor at every 50 pixels. I...

I will assume you bought these from David at Holiday Coro. Your best bet is going to be go to https://xlights.org/ and click on the link to the...

Thanks. I ended up cutting the letters out of very thin plywood with my scroll saw. Sanded and painted white. Then cut out thin Plexiglas rectangles...

I have a similar string with a label saying Intertek AL15-RGB-5M but without the remote.. They are 24V and have the LEDs in groups of 6... Mine...
