Helpful tip - make sure to double check your off position in the dip switch app. We were getting nowhere until we realized that our "on" and "off" direction was backwards. Once we changed that setting in the app and set the address, everything was working perfectly. Great video - thanks for the help, WLH!

@aaronluna5511 4 года назад

First Celina What power adapter did you use? How many voltages?

@EnventProductions 5 лет назад

That's a good product to do. I've never seen anything but some weird arduino set up and have always wanted something like this. Thank you. Thank you

@temporarilyjosh 2 года назад

Looks like a simple solution. Do you know how to control individually addressable led strip using DMX?

@audiodevout 10 дней назад

idk if you're still looking for an answer but you should check out Touchdesigner and pixel mapping

@SimonMac 2 года назад

@basementbuilds Год назад

Hey, thanks for teaching me how to do this. I'm actually working on doing this at our youth sanctuary cross lights, as sort of a senior gift to add them to the lighting system

@WorshipLeaderHangout Год назад

Glad it was helpful!

@shitlordful Год назад

This is awesome, so many possibilities from this small bit of knowledge, thank you

@bereancalgary878 2 года назад

Thanks for the guide. We use this to back light the cross in our sanctuary. Used our wireless DMX transmitter/receivers + Lightkey for Mac and it worked great! The tip for using Sprinkler wire to extend the led channels was a gem! Thanks again.

@jasonnigh1506 2 месяца назад

Any chance you can elaborate on this? Sounds exactly what I'm trying to do but not having any luck. I've basically used exactly the same equipment as the guy in the video. What fixture do I use with in Lightkey and how do I control it from there? Thanks

@charleslaughlin1602 4 года назад

I'm going to follow your instructions as shown above. Looks like just what we need. MY QUESTION: what do you do with the "pins" on the end of the LED light strip?? Wrap it in black tape?? Cut it off?? Just leave it alone?? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

@TheWalkChurch 5 лет назад

Thanks for the useful tips. Love the frames with tape light and string design. Do you have a "how to" for making those? Would love something like that at our church as well. Thanks again.

@davidrichardson8394 4 года назад

What software are you using to control the dmx? Do you have to import the decoder as a fixture into your program? Is the device info available online?

@vinsflokor Год назад

That's brilliant! Newbie question, though: how do you control the decoder with the app? Do you need to create a LAN connection (from the iPhone to the DMX decoder) or else way?

@voaji 2 года назад

can you use one decoder for say 4 led strips and also for some light fixtures combined? i mean do you have to daisy chain from the encoder to other lighting fixtures?

@edureta8575 2 года назад

Thanks for the guide, may I ask if I can use a 5vlts LED to the DMX pro?

@kevinmcd112 3 года назад

I found your video with the yarn panels like forever ago. I want to go to this instead of the cheap lights we have now. (It would basically be a 1x2 with the LEDs attached to it.) Do I need that app (4:16) in order to make the lights work or can I just replace my current lights with this configuration and have the lighting software figured out everything?

@IOMUZIK 5 лет назад

@fastloud24supercarsonhighw42 2 года назад

@alchemy5968 9 месяцев назад

I don't know much about this stuff, but I watched your RGBW LED tape and fabric church stage design idea video. did you have to have a separate dmx decoder for each of the panels you guys made?

@denbro5543 3 года назад

Hi just wondering does this allow you to pixel map and individually control each led?

@taivisureia210 4 месяца назад

Hey would you like to explain what you used at around 5:01 and also 5:10? like the cables you are connected to the decoder, where it is going to?

@pfranklin 2 года назад

Very nice. Now how do you make 15 vertical strands display a video?

@danfitz3583 5 лет назад

Thanks great video. I just bought a decoder and strips on line, how many strips could I run on one decoder? Like could I extend the wires from a few different spots back to one decider and twist them together and then into the decoder?

@WorshipLeaderHangout 5 лет назад

It works for me. You will see a decrease in brightness the more strips you add though. Three is my max per decoder.

@jerryjozwiak868 5 лет назад

How can I connect a Quad Row LED Strip (24v - 2 lead Blk and red) to the DMX Controller? Can I use 2 of the WRGB Conectors?

@PantherJagger 4 года назад

I have the DMX decoder for my RGB LED light strips (4 x 5M) and It works great and your video really helped. I recently acquired the WS 2815 individually addressable LED and I have have some great sequences with them controlled by an Arduino. Do you know what I would need to put these into my DMX chain? (it would be some other kind of dmx decoder maybe 4 or 8 ports with a 1 channel with a dimmer function and 1 for power - Data Line In from the Led Striped) All I want to is add them to each scene for a controllable on/off when I need them to come in.

@markhurrell8830 Год назад

I have done something very similar. I have an Arudino Nano connected to a MAX485 that is accepting DMX input from QLC+. I can set static colours and have the ability yo trigger some of my own lighting effects/sequences that I have created using FastLED. Let me know if of interest...

@Ghost25lives 3 года назад

@ildjess 5 лет назад

Can you bridge or daisy chain these lights to a single DMX decoder or would you have to get separate decoders?

@WorshipLeaderHangout 5 лет назад

Yea I believe you can use the given connector on the opposite side or splice them together. I would use a different decoder so that you can have more options in color arrangements.

How would I control a WS2815 strip via DMX as those are individually addressable LEDs?

@jorobert 5 лет назад

If we have two decoders with the same setup do you just chain the two in order to have the same colors for separate strips? Or does it automatically chain wirelessly through the app when both decoders are set with the same code? Hopefully that makes sense.

@WorshipLeaderHangout 5 лет назад

Ok so I like to have a different dmx address for each decoder so that I can program a different color for each strip. I hope that answers your question. Thanks for watching!

@madisoncoates92 5 лет назад

How many amps is the power supply in the video? The one from the link looks larger. Would like to get by with a smaller supply like the one in the video if possible.

@thedakotahurley 5 лет назад

I'm also curious about this. I bought LED strips today and they only specify a 12V DC power requirement, but not an amperage

@brandonfrazier1715 4 года назад

@WLH - Can I link the tape strips to other stage DMX controlled lights from the decoder and control them all with the DMX512 Controller?

@RobertFreiberger 4 года назад

the decoder is a dmx device so as long as you give it three address spaces (RGB) and it's not taking up another address already assigned, it's good.

@andrewsasere6908 4 года назад

Question. So my church is getting ready for Easter. And we have this background that we want to attach these acrylic tubes to it with the led lights inside. Can I cut the strip little by little or would it be easier to have the one long led strip?

You can use 1, but if your power supply doesn’t have a high enough amperage, the strips could dim.

@egg6649 4 года назад

If you have Mac, even access to an old MacBook DEFINITELY use lightkey. It is the most amazing to use and beautiful lighting software out there, and if you are running most of you fixtures to do the same thing, you can set them all to the same channel and maybe even pull of just using the free 24 channel trial lightkey mode.

@iMadScience 4 года назад

What about those strips with only three wires, which individual bulbs can be controlled independently? You’ve got decoder for those kinda strips? I want them on my set.

@WorshipLeaderHangout 4 года назад

I’m not sure. I haven’t used the strips with only three. The ones we are using now use 5 wires. (Power, Red, Green, Blue, White)

@iMadScience 4 года назад

@@WorshipLeaderHangout Yeah strips with 5 wires can only be controlled entirely, the 3 wire ones have individual LED control ability. So you can do animations or left to right and stuff like that.

@zero-k7466 5 лет назад

if i wanna run 10 strips independently like one meter long led strip making a design, would i need 10 decoder or a multi channel decoder with multiple output could act the same ? so i can run 10 strips on its own or multiple at once via sowftare or dmx table

@zero-k7466 5 лет назад

thank you if you read and take time to answer :)

@WorshipLeaderHangout 5 лет назад

A multi channel decoder will work well. I used individual decoders to so that i didn't have to run as much extension wire from each strip. I did however use more DMX cable. So, it's kinda personal preference. Just to give you some insight, I will be using several multi channel decoders on my next project later this year.

@josephgoodman1573 5 лет назад

So I was just wondering, if we were to buy the same exact set up as your but with a smaller light controller (obey 4) would I have the same address as you? If not, how do would you find the address?

@WorshipLeaderHangout 5 лет назад

DMX works on a 512 block grid. Each fixture takes up space on the grid starting at any available block. For example these strips take up three blocks on the grid and you can only address them in available block where you can fit three side by side. If you already have fixtures taking up blocks 1 - 50 then you would start one of your strips on block 51. It will take up 51, 52 and 53 but you only need to address it to 51. Your next strip will start at 54 and so on. I hope this helps. (you can address yours the same as mine as long as you have the available "blocks") Thanks for watching. Great worship leaders are always learning. 9 years ago I would have had no idea what I was talking about, but with lots of exposure and time with DMX and stage lighting I have learned a ton. Hope you will do the same.

Not compatible, but you can get led strips for 5$ so not too bad :)

@egg6649 3 года назад

I’m sure you’ve moved on but for the record this is actually compatible, you just won’t have white, obviously. Just don’t connect anything to the white channel, and you’ll just have a dead channel on your DMX Universe. For anyone looking, I highly suggest doing a setup with rgbw as quickly going to white when a chorus goes ‘big’ has an incredible effect.

@patricksanders3765 5 лет назад

We are running a three channel DMX system being controlled by the Chauvet Obey 3 rgb. All the fixtures are set to master/slave mode. Trying to connect one of these led strips powered by the decoder in the DMX loop but not having any luck getting them to follow the other fixtures. Any idea what dip switch patter is master slave mode?

@WorshipLeaderHangout 5 лет назад

Patrick Sanders I would look at your first led fixture to see if it is indicating a DMX channel. If so the put that number into your dip switch cal. then match it to your dip switch on the decoder. Make sure the fun switch is off. Otherwise I would change your other led fixtures to the exact dmx number you want instead of doing a master slave function on them. You could even start to change them and allow for them to be used separately to create more interesting light scenes. We always patch all of our lights separately on the dmx universe. Hope that helps.

@patricksanders3765 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for your reply, I'm still not having any luck. Changed the setup a little bit to try to get it to work, these LED strips are the only fixtures connected to this controller (Chauvet obey 3 www.chauvetdj.com/products/obey-3/ ). I cannot find the dip switch setting on the decoder to allow the obey 3 to control them. They are working not connected to the controller using the built in controls in the decoder. Or if there is a simple controller that you might recommend that you know works with it, that would be great!

@jesdpie 5 лет назад

@WorshipLeaderHangout 5 лет назад

Jesse Pierce I use DMX and/or XLR cable purchased in bulk. Most of your production companies and pro sound/lighting companies will be able to sell it to you by the foot. DMX is ready to go combining 4 wires in one housing and is perfect for extending these strips.

@just_a_nother_Matt_on_YouTube 5 лет назад

Just FYI there are two types of dmx cable a 3 conductor and a 5 conductor. To go from control box to the strip you need the 5 conductor and you just use 4 of the wires and cut off the 5th wire.

@chadtpetersen 5 лет назад

just go to Amazon and search WRGB wire
