Sale/Trade / FS: (4) Lynx Express V.5 assembled and tested
« on: November 13, 2016, 02:57:24 pm »
Four Lynx Express controllers built, working properly, and installed in CG-1500 cases with power cords. Three of the four controller cases are mounted to a length of PVC, so you can simply slide them over a piece of rebar to mount. All four have output power cords that are labeled to match the board outputs.

Selling for $100/ea + PPF and shipping. Photos attached.

How many are you looking for? I have four built+tested controllers that I may be able to part with. Comes with CG-1500 case and power cords installed. Already mounted on PVC pole that you can simply slide over a piece of rebar in the ground to mount.

Will let them go for $100/ea = PayPal fees and shipping.

Please cancel my orders for this coop. Closing on a new house AND a baby on the way means no time to do lights this year!

Nutcracker: RGB Effects Builder / Re: Flood light problems
« on: February 05, 2014, 11:38:43 pm »
They are all four the same model. I'm using Ray's 10w flood lights.
I currently have them set up as a four node single strand, which is how you are suggesting they be set up. I do not have the controller to change their start channel.

Nutcracker: RGB Effects Builder / Flood light problems
« on: February 05, 2014, 03:04:32 pm »
I have my four flood lights set up in xLights as a single strand, so I can run effects between them. I'm trying to set up some Valentine's day effects, but I can't get them right. When I use "Butterfly" (which is the effect I really like), the first two floodlights stay the same color and do not change. I remember running into this problem for my Christmas display too. How would I get the effect to work on all four floods?

The Porch / Re: Can rgb white be made to look like incandescent white?
« on: December 23, 2013, 11:17:03 am »
It CAN in fact do this (at least the higher end stuff can).

We were at Disney's California Adventure a few weeks ago, and I noticed the walkway lights around their nighttime water show are RGB... however after the show, they slowly faded back to "incandescent white". I even commented to my wife how good it looked.

I suppose the hard part is finding out the exact values to punch in to get this...

It's a Systemax PC running Windows XP. I can't find the model on it anywhere.

Tried the last three suggestions. No antivirus, as this computer never connects to the internet. I've tried every USB port, and I don't see anything in the BIOS that suggests it may be causing the problem.
Uggh.

Man. Two days later, it stops again. This didn't solve the problem after all.

Nutcracker: RGB Effects Builder / Re: Add RGB arches to vixen

Sean-

Thanks for the walk through.
I got 80% of that right on my own, it was the last 20% I was stuck on.

8) Export the new show (this has your old sequence data plus the new arches effects) as either a vix or vir file.

Where does xLights get the old sequence data if I am setting up a "New musical sequence"? Or do I have to somehow merge the new data with the old data?

Thanks for the reply.
I do have them converted, as I used xLights to schedule my show last year.
Do the xlights files get imported into Nutcracker? How do I import them?
Do I have to have some sort of timing marks to know when the arch effects should start/stop?

Nutcracker: RGB Effects Builder / Add RGB arches to vixen
« on: November 22, 2013, 02:14:05 pm »
I have converted all my arches this year to RGB. When programming them in Vixen 2.1, I realized quickly that it would be way too time consuming. I've read about Nutcracker, but this is the first time I'm at the point where I really need it.
I have downloaded the latest version of xLights/Nutcracker, but I am stuck. I read that there's a way to import vixen/xLights files into Nutcracker and add in the RGB parts, then save as an xLights file for the show. I cannot figure out how to do this.
Can someone walk me through- or point me to a link- that shows how to import last years files (Vixen or xLights), add the new RGB channels, and program them?
Any help would be great. I have been searching the forum, but not coming up with exactly what i'm looking for.

Thanks!
