Activity Stream

Thanks for the reply. I have the GIPO's mapped out in the Pi. When I run test patterns in FPP, it controls the outputs just fine. I wanted to use...

This is not what this thread is about. Better off just starting a new thread when you have a question. You do not need multiple controllers for this....

I have just over 8k ws2812b that are stuck in Quiet Time . All kinds of issues with them after 1 year stored in a twin-wall(green house panel)...

Earlier this year, there was a in depth technical troubleshoot of a similar issue using Ray Wu's 5v promo pixels in a long string. They worked fine...

Just Got my order from him, very pleased. quality is night and day vs the 5v promo pixels

I want to run 8 channels on the Pi headers pins for Triacs and SSRs and have that combined with my e682 Vixen 3 sequence that runs my matrix and...

Sorry just saw this. Yes those are the ones. Let me do some inspection and see if something is up with the solder.

I kind of wish he offered a cheaper shipping option, $95USD shipping on a $145USD order hurts

I do not have a definitive explanation, but a possible theory: At the start of each frame, there is a quiet time. This resets each pixel. As...

Tapped it with a hammer several times and tried the strap wrenches again and was able to get it off. Thanks again for the advice everyone!

I did try power injection to the middle of the path lights and it didn't help. The whole string is fed 12v. Each path light has a 5v buck converter...

Theory.... Could have that one pixel caused enough resistance, that it was limiting how much power was able to get to the 200th? I would have...

I've dealt with bad pixels that cause the rest of the string to fail. What made this one difficult to diagnose was the bad pixel/pixels caused...

Good to know. Thanks.

+1.

Thats what i use, works flawlessly

Did you ever document this setup, especially the wiring diagram?

Here's an update on my most recent order from Ray. I ordered RGB dumb lights on 9/14. On 9/18 received an email that order shipped destination...

I looks like the Renard boards use RS-485 signaling but with different pins than DMX does.. I think you can use any ESPixel board as long as you add...

Is this the only option or are their alternatives to this board? Does anyone know if the schematic is available as it is not in the user guide.

Ill need to figure out how many i have left. Also will be cheaper to ship if i package them out of the original box. Sent from my iPhone using...

Another possibly related thread: http://doityourselfchristmas.com/forums/showthread.php?25730-Vampire-Snubbers I retract my comment dismissing the...

Just for the record, the thread 'Channel String Max Question(s)/Discovery...' over in the Renard General forum seems to be addressing a similar...

Changing from sinking to sourcing will not change anything. I think that Barnaby has identified the likely causes for the flickering, and that the...

May I suggest applying some heat to the coupling. A propane plumbers torch should do the job. Be careful. A fire extinguisher in the area is always a...

I have not. I'll try that too.

They are dipped in galvanized but some couplings are harder to remove than others. It may have been sprayed, they don't want coupling to come off...
