I’m new to the hobby and trying to plan out locations of pi and transmitter. I’ve heard if they are too close together you can get interference. How far apart should they be ..read more

I might be getting the terminology wrong here but what I currently have are these. amazon I would like something with a similar form factor, but smaller in size. The LEDs above are, I believe, designed to fit into an 8mm hole, I'd really like something that would fit in a 4mm hole. With slightly thinner wires as well. I've seen the strip lights, and the seed, and pebble lights, those aren't what I'm looking for. I'm hoping to find something that I can punch through from the back but... Read more ..read more

Im having issues with the T790 LED controller setup. The setup used to work but some settings were corrupted with system restore and the LEDEditK and Madrix 5 dont work anymore. Could you provide step by step setup for these programs and the controler itself? I can send ID changes to it but the controllers network tests result in 100% packet loss and controllers C1 and C2 and their respective ports are showing red If you can help with this please let me know ..read more

Hi guys. I know these get asked a lot but I am having difficulty and could use some advice. I didn't have any power injection tees on hand so for testing purposes I thought I would make one. I am using 5v seed pixels and I used 2 female and one male connector to diy a tee. My led strings both light up well when directly connected together and Function as expected. I carried the yellow data wire and v-(blue) through as I am using 2 different power supplies and I read it was best not... Read more ..read more

I couldn't find a smart pixel light map for the mouth phonemes that I liked so I spent a few hours putting one together. I figured that some of you might find it useful. I also figure that as soon as someone looks at this they'll go "Oh, that's just like this one you can download here" LOL. But it was a fun exercise anyway. It uses a 50 light string of lights, and is basically 50% in size. So if you double it in size when you print it, it will be about right for a 13" mouth that will work... Read more ..read more

Hi guys, just want to know pros cons on each. I used pixlite 16s back in 2017/2018 and getting back into lights shows again this year. With the price increases I just want to know thoughts on pros cons between the 16 controllers, pixlite classic 16 is $699 and Falcon F16V5 is $415 roughly. I have about 70 000 ws2811 to control Cheers ..read more

Hi ! I am Natalia, sorry for my English, I am writing from Spain. I am writing here because I don't find where is the problem with my light show and how to solve it. This is my first light show, it has 8000 pixels 5v so I got a Kulp k8 , I was testing and that was perfect but right now I am creating the props and putting them in the place where they will be in the show. I will place the kulp and the beaglebone in the center of the show, so more or less all the first props will be at the... Read more ..read more
