I was able to swap my Wizio modules around when testing the e682 beta firmware from Jim I now have an e682 using the cheap W5200 clone module and...

Steve, did you get any of your bridges working? I have some things that might help if you need them. I’ve got a spare RPM that works, but one port is...

Cheapies! In 10 years I don't think I've ever changed one out.

Bump

I started with generic 350w supplies. 2 of them within 2 years had trouble. The large Capacitors swoll up and let the magic smoke, or steam, out....

I'd be curious to know.. beyond the sequencer.. What LOR hardware are you using??

A combination of generics and people's wall bricks that they aren't using anymore.

I am not sure if it was just strickly the different card, but between a different card and reseating the pockebeagle board to the PB16 it finally...

thank you again martin you were a big help to me on my arduino project and again on this project . i was over complicating it your explaination was...

For the "smaller" PSUs (350 watt and smaller), we use Meanwells. This is due to the high rate of failure we had with generics in years past. For...

After 5 seasons the el cheapos started to die. Biggest issue seems to be the bearings in the fan. They start making a lot of noise and then die. PSU...

I run PC Server Power supplies. Very robust. Small and efficient and you can often find deals on them.

I use the el cheapo's from eBay and Amazon, been using the same ones for 5 years with no failures.........

I stopped working on it for a bit, and decided to work on another one of the boards that I bought (bought multiples of everything) and I had the same...

I really don't need them, so there are none close enough to make the drive worthwhile.

Darn it. Do you have a HD anywhere else close enough to drive? Seems almost everyone store I check "thinks" they have some. The store Im buying...

Update - HD canceled my order. They say they have 32 available to ship, but they want $55.00 for the shipping. I guess I'll pass.

Good deal. Hope it works out. I placed an order for 4-1/2 dozen this morning and it was cancelled and won't let me try to order online again. ...

I just ordered the last 5 at my local HD! Thanks for the tip.

I was thinking of using these PSU's on my 12v single-line props and switching them with NMOS fets, only switching the vdd line instead of GND. Then...

0.7V drop to be precise, but a good guess! You could also use a zener diode.

Thanks Martin I think I understand I will try when I get home this evening and I’ll post my results

They never will. Lets say you have 200 pixels on each port. Forget the universes, they are a useless issue that confuses things. Vixen will see the...

Wouldn't a couple diodes drop the voltage by 1.2v I think silicon diodes have a .6v drop. just make sure they can handle the current. I am not an...

Ron answered on the other site. The cube can be setup as a Renard device with 27 channels and controlled that way. I haven't had a chance to try...
