You aren't going to get an answer to this in a public forum. You will just have to make your own choices. Both are still in business. They just...

Yes, your understanding is correct. I was confused about remotes until I set one up. It was much easier than I expected. Keep in mind you don't...

Why do you avoid HolidayCoro in general? What do people as pros/cons between Boscoyo & Holdiaycoro anyways? There hasn't been much information in...

Ok, here is a new version with some changes. Anything else Im missing?

or z5u. But not, imo, terribly critical.

I download the model from xlights and here are my settings.

Ok. I have no ac wires near where the 5v lines run from the psu to the towers. The control card is 2ft from the psu and the lines going to the towers...

I've experienced this a few times and all were related to noise on the data line. If you have a long cable feeding the pixels then use the shortest...

Does it need to be specifically an x7r? I should just be able to use basically any ceramic cap right?

You could also use 36v power supplies. Ali Express has cheap buck converters that drop 36v to an adjustable voltage. I have 2 Meanwell LRS-350-36...

Ok thanks! Now that I know the top screws off I will plan on buying one to try hacking it with my own driver(Most likely just 3 resistors).

Hey aclarksr, where did you get that mounting plate for the CG-1500? I was going to make my own for my current setup but this adapter plate looks...

I thought so to, seemingly if they're made of the same material and rated for the same carrying capacity of 160PSI that they would be the same...

I do believe it was some sort of hardware problem with my USB port. It works with no problem on the old computer, so i'll keep that around as my...

That is surprising I assumed that it would have been constructed to the same standard.

I suggest 24V for your long run. I would still try to locate a PSU closer to the props. FYI: Each of my RBLs has a buck converter in the base. My...

There is one in xLights Drive Share under Models>HC Products>Christmas>HC Singing Tree Mini Lights Xmodel. Don't know if it is the same one as above...

I did it 2018 then I switch to pixels. I will look for my old profile and post some pictures tomorrow.

I have a bunch of the diff receivers built and plan to use them this year. Was thinking of just getting a kulp 40d-pb since it's a little more...

What is the values on the transformer you used?? Sent from my SM-A716U using Tapatalk

I know we gotta keep it civil, but this is freakin hysterical.

There is someone on this forum that basically does what you are suggesting. He seems very happy with his setup. He is part of this thread:...

I’ve played with these units (mainly to see if the housing could be adapted for anything). The top simply screws off, so it’s easy to get to the...

I don't think xLights has a AC model for faces. So, you will need to make a model that has your string layout including the various mouth shapes. You...

The Apollo I got has 3.5mm walls and so does the 1" pipe from McMaster. The 7/8" pipe from McMaster is about 1.8mm, i.e. about half the thickness.

I upgraded to the 3.7.4 version and the shockwave effect works as expected now. Thanks to everyone for looking into this form me!

For $15 get one and see how it works. I suspect a Bluetooth type connection with a very basic 3 channel LED driver. I haven't seen a e1.31 to...
