Lynx Express / Help please Fort Worth area
« on: December 09, 2018, 12:10:57 pm »
Is there anyone in the DFW area that can loan me LE setup? I’ll bring it back, I can’t get one to work this year. It powers up, it goes through the test mode. It won’t receive DMX from wireless or wired, my pickit 2 programmer can’t read any chips. I’d rather borrow a system and then fix it later.

I saw this in a mall. It's a Santa photo spot but the walls were made out of a led like surface. I wish we could move to this eventually.

This would be nice to have as certain elements to the show. I wouldn't want it as the whole thing.

I made it from 3 4x8 of the foam that is for exterior insulation. There's a total of five tiers and 3 colors per tier. The star is the 16th channel.

I reflashed the LE and it works now.

I also replaced the TRIAC and it's perfect!

Lynx Express / Weirdness to LE
« on: November 30, 2014, 10:26:58 pm »
I have everything up and running, and I am so glad too! Quick help...

I have one LE that is still giving me problems. I think I might know what it is, but I wanted to run it by you guys before I took things apart.

LE 3.0 when I first plugged it in, the LEDs would sporadically flicker. I'd unplug/replug until the problem went away. It usually does after 3rd time. It went a whole 24 hours with no flickering... and then it needed to be unplugged/replugged again this evening.

Could this be as simple as having cord wired backwards? Like the neutral needs to be on the other side...

I thought it wasn't getting enough amps, but it runs the test just fine without any flickering. It's almost as if it's receiving DMX noise by accident. (I swapped out wireless cards and still same problems).

Lynx Express / Bad Triac? And Wireless firmware help
« on: November 28, 2014, 02:46:11 pm »
I'm almost done setting up the show, and I have two (hopefully simple) questions.

1. On my LE v3.0 channel constantly runs, no matter what...

I think the TRIAC needs replaced... I swapped out the 6pin chip and nothing changed, so now I think its the TRIAC. Should I go ahead and tear it apart to replace it?

2. I put a daughter card on an old LE v3.0 and Wireless DMX did not work, I am thinking the firmware from long ago, doesn't have the wireless portion added. I have all the components to update the chip. I just want to share my thoughts before I go try and update that stuff.

Thoughts?

Vixen / Re: vixen 2.5 rgb/rgw to vixen 3.0 Element?
« on: August 30, 2013, 10:16:31 pm »
I am willing to bet you can't combine your channels from 2.5 to 3. Unless you were to tweak some XML file somewhere... idk

As for the gray bar issue, I am getting the same error. It's a bit scary to think we are in August and I can't get a preview feature to work Vixen 3. I really don't want to buy Light Show Pro, but I may not have a choice.

Lynx Smart String / Programming Colors in Vixen
« on: May 05, 2013, 11:47:14 pm »
So I need to check for understanding... Lets pretend I have a SSC with only three channels (1 node).
.
Channel 1: Green
Channel 2: Red
Channel 3: Blue

I want a purple light so I need to put Channel 2 and 3 on... I then want the color change.

So yellow would be... Red (0-255) = 200 and green would be equal to 200, blue would be off...

Is that how we think when we program this whole thing? Is there a plugin I overlooked?

I assume... we will have a SSC coop as well? I would hate to start this route with point A and never make it to point B.

The Porch / This year 2010 Christmas
« on: July 13, 2010, 12:38:51 am »
I just wanted to let everyone know this year my wife and I are moving to Hillsboro, TX and we are having a baby in November. So with these events, I think its best to take a break from this years lights. =(

I feel bad because I haven't bought anything in the co-ops.

I am looking forward to starting for Christmas 2011.
