I have a standard pixel belt without any existing hole. I require a hole to be made every 4 inches along the entire length of the belt. The pixel belt i need is quite extensive, ranging from 1000 to 2000 feet in length (100 feet each roll).
Using the jig is great when the window or garage measurements are perfect. But my windows are slightly off. So, I have to make the edge hole 1/4 “ closer to the corner adapter for it to fit. I don’t see an easier way.
Can i mount the pipe to the clip to like an inside of a garage wall. Meaning, would the pipe fit into the clip if the clip was mounted on the top wall of the garage opening, while the pixels are facing outward?
Would be nice to see human hands assembling the product rather than a computer pointer pointing at a drawing or a product page. After watching all of the mega tree videos I still am confused as to mounting an led ribbon to a black ribbon with holes in it.
Can LOR CF50 Floods be connected and controlled by the HinksPix V2 controller and xLights via the DMX connection? If so, what connector mod(s) would be necessary?
Nice video! I am new to this style of lights and this was helpful. Just installed the lights on the house and apparently have a damaged node from the installation. Tested OK before but now bad. I'm hoping it's just the one like in your video!! What causes these to randomly go bad?
The delay is about 5 to 8 seconds for the lights to turn on. How do you get them to be instant like a normal pixel? I can't use them if they don't turn off and on with the rest of my lights.
This is not a pixel flood issue, it is a software issue. Please reach out to our support staff for more information. One common way to determine if this is a software or hardware issue is to use the built-in test mode on the controller.
@@HolidayCoro In further testing I found that when I defined a string that only had 2 pixels (6 channels) that the HinksPix controller did not send enough power to light the 10-watt flood light in a timely manner. They need more power than a single pixel. Putting 100 nodes on the string model (300 channels) in Xlights and only using 2 nodes for the floodlights seems to have solved the problem. Testing through the web interface of the controller it works fine. it only seems to have the problem when sequencing through Xlights when the model was assigned its own universe of 2 pixels (6 channels) and sent out a single port on the controller..
When you split the 100 string into two 50 strings you might want to incorporate a fuse at the start of the 2nd set. The 1st of course has the fuse already. If your going to make videos you should do it properly so anybody that views them & follows your instructions doesn't end up burning their fucking house down. Just a thought.
The only thing I noticed about this setup is that it looks like it would be a nightmare trying to replace a burnt out pixel and salvage the candy cane.
Hi there I emailed less than a week ago and spoke to a person about an issue with this controllers decoder mode not working with the Newer frosted Globes you sell. I have everything setup exactly as this video shows but when you get to timestamp 4:07 you change Ic type to 2811 and all pixels react as they should (lighting up showing they’re recognized similarly it’s stated this should happen in decoder mode in “Why do HolidayCoro pixels turn blue sometimes” in your website’s help section) I do have everything activated as following: #pixels: 170 Ic Type: 2811 LED RGB SEQ: RGB All control: No Rev Control: No When adjusting LED RGB SEQ setting it does change the colors of the first 3 pixels in decoder mode. However the software I use to program the lights is vixen. It still states on the page for this product that this controller works with that program however I have had 0 luck with getting these bulbs to react to any input. Master mode does work perfectly as well. I’m responding here as communication seems to have ceased and the info from your help section did not offer a solution for “if none of the lights are blue and your controller’s #pixels setting is set to the maximum” I will state that this issue does not exist in your Ribbon lights as the ones I threw away to replace with these bulbs worked properly they were just very beat up and starting not to fully work.
If I'm Power injecting from a 2nd supply for the same string with multiple PI points, do i need to cut the V+ from all the tees? Or is the first cut on the first PI point good enough.
Hello, holiday coro, your singing christmas tree is what i have been looking for in xlights. How do i get it, without buying the actual product to connect. And i am talking about one i saw in a demo 9 years ago.
If anyone is trying to setup a hinkspix pro controller with flood lights, please consider watching my step-by-step video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-muAywLmV2Gw.html
I suggest on the pages you select to buy these items have a link to these videos. It took me a bit but in my head I was worried that the Regular controller didn't work with smart pixels. This video answered my question.
Having trouble with configuration. Keep getting the following error message The Controller's Port is limited to 4 Universes or 2048 Channels. Port 1 Has 3618 Allocated I have the Hinkspix pro with 1 Longrange and 2 SPI Boards. I have 2 Smart 16's daisy chained to jack 1, and 1 smart 16 connected to jack 2 on the longrange board. Each of my physical ports (xconnect) have less than 150 pixels per string and I am not even using all 16 xconnect ports.
The number of pixels per jack/cat5 cable is 680 * 4 or 2,720 pixels. Move one of your 16 long range receivers to another jack to free up pixel counts. Don't configure more pixels per output than you are physically using, for example, if you are using 150 pixels only use 450 channels, not 510 channels.

What's the video in which you show how to sequence the singing tree ?, I was looking for it in the library of videos but unable to find it, can you please add a link to it in the reply ?.
Sequencing is a software function, not with the prop itself. I'd recommend searching for your application such as: xlights singing face sequencing tutorial
Do we need to have the controller connected to our network to test our pixels to make sure the pixels work with controller? At 3.20 you mention that we need a network connection to be in test mode? Are you referring to testing the output with xlights?
Do you have anything to increase the power & data? Or something to just increase the power? You mentioned that even just running a wire 50' from the controller won't help boost the data so are you saying a data booster is the only way to boost it? I need to run about 250 12v 30mm pixel point leds and need a simple way to inject power and boost data. I'll be using 16/3 to first string and any jumps, 16/3 or 16/2 for power injection and 18ga for data from a 350w power supply.
Yes, you could use a higher voltage to start with on your pixels. Or you could just drop the % output to reduce power consumption of the lights. Physics is physics.
I am replacing an 18' lighted garland with another one. The lead cord on the new one is much shorter than the lead on the old one. Can I just cut the leads off both light sets and solder on the longer lead (from the old set) to the new set?
I have just received an 8 SPI smart expansion unit that will be receiving data from my main HinksPix Pro. I was under the impression that I will run ONE Cat 5 cable from my HinksPix pro to the 8 SPI expansion unit--is that correct? I see that I received a 1 foot Cat 5 cable with my order--is that to connect to 2 4-output boards in the expansion unit so that they are in effect daisy chained within that box?
I have 2 sortimo boxes with metal lids and foam under the lids, stops washers and small screws leaving compartments, they are absolutely worth every cent
While this is not exactly the same, I am asking for help. How does an animated snowman work? For example one where the arm waves, or is tossing a package. I understand the wire frame and lights, but how does it flash in sequence, while the other lights stay static? I am searching to understand how it works and cannot find anything.
