I recently added RGB strips to my old white window frames, to add the the ability to change colors. I drive the new RBG's with a RP RGB24 strip...

are you talking about doing something like what i did here in this picture? Use a coupler, drill 3 holes, then tap them out then use nylon screws to...

I haven't see RGB controllers that convert the RGB values to a fourth value for the white. It would be hard conversion unless you only did XXX values...

I don't remember the elements showing on the picture (preview screen). In the preview setup, they all show up. But during sequencing, only the items...

I wouldn't want to mess with your flashing either. That drip edge completes the roof protection and isn't worth messing with. Yours sits reasonably...

Join the https://auschristmaslighting.com/ group and pick up a copy of their 101 manual. Read it twice. Then take a picture of your house and...

This was my first summit and I really enjoyed it. I wish I knew about the Florida mini in time to attend... always next year!

Are you talking about previewing the sequence? Don't you have to do a Render All before it will show up on your PC screen?

I agree. I don't get anywhere near the voltage drops he's getting, but then I'm not using the same canned controllers others are, either. I assume...

By optocouplers, I meant optocouplers. I don't speak in secret code.

Thank you! I was thinking perhaps it might be that simple...

I think that two in-line diodes (one between each of the power supply +5 outputs and the motor) would be the easiest option.

What are you talking about? That's nonsense.

Thanks Jeff, They are all on the a flat plane, and the same length, so I will try it as a matrix.

Double check the DMX pin out on the board. Go to gethub and look up that board and look at the PDF file that has the wiring connections on them....

Can you provide the link to these?

Woah man, that is really insane!
