Thank you for the B-Day wishes. Hope all shows are going well.

thanks JL hadn't seen the properties section

you need to get some terminology right a port on controller are just 1 port a 1 pixel is 3 channels so a string of 50 pixels is actually 150 channels

You're right. I was looking at the manual and not the actual unit and didn't catch the disclaimer that the secondary port was only on the bigger one.

I'll measure power consumption with a meter. We run at 100% brightness, because of some nearby light sources. Have you seen anyone with a high...

I agree completely. I prefer and use "Option 2" for wiring all of my SS Renards and I have over 80 of them in use for my display.

the nanostation loco M2 doesn't have a secondary Ethernet port. It only has one Ethernet port. The non-loco version is twice the size of the loco...

Hi, Just found this posting. Did you use Vixen 2 or Vixen 3. I could not get Vixen 2 to work with two Arduinos. I was using generic serial...

Which firmware works with the ESP pixel Pops board?

This might help too.

Thank you !!!! I was hung up on only denoting channels count to 16 , with it being a 16 channel controller. All makes sense now Was able to get...

Thanks to all. Once I figured out what Zoom actually was I went and the people fixed my issues flawlessly. If there's a way to thank individual...

Just choose a 180 degree tree when you set it up. Should be close enough.

No need to run 2 circuits to a Renard board. There is not enough amperage for it to be an issue. Just jump the hot and neutral from one side to the...

Well, my show is synced to music and high tech. But I make all the props myself. I aim for clever rather than quantity of lights. Yet everytime...

Depends For general sound editting, Audacity is the go to program. You can edit, cut, paste, etc. But it's basic, which truthfully is what most...

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work. and come the a m, after the coffee did perk, climbed on the roof with words numbering four, ...

sorry to hear of your troubles - i know that alot of time, effort, and passion goes into these things, and I imagine it must be hard to stomach not...

I feel your pain i'm two weeks in and almost every other day there is something wrong they have to fix or trouble shoot.

One, you'll need deep cycle batteries. Two, you'll have to drop what you are doing and put on a charger after the show every single night. I doubt...

I have a pi zero w and the Nano pi hat running 4 P10's It works great. I also run it as a remote pi and sequence it separately using the same name...

I think my problem might be the same. I will check the error log later and see what it says. I am running a new machine but it only has 4 G of RAM....

Sounds like I need 2 Pi’s then. One for the main show and one for the P10 sign. How does this change my network connections? If I use a Pi 3 for...

Hi, just to throw another option in to the mix. What about lead acid batteries? A 100Ah battery would provide 25A / hour for a 4 hour show and could...

East Greenbush, NY

Hi, thanks for that it makes sense and my earlier point about the zero cross doesn’t come into play. As pointed out though it does leave the risk of...

I started my pixel journey using the PX1. A very solid controller and if you are only driving 250 pixels or less, very reasonable price, easy to...
