    Why would sections of an RGB LED string freeze animating after 30 mins?

    Would these be 'issues' that taken some time before they manifest? Also, I know that the pixel strings were 50 lights x 6 strings... but what I'm seeing from the last picture I posted (and here it is again with some different markings) the sections of lights which stop working are uneven in...

    Why would sections of an RGB LED string freeze animating after 30 mins?

    Thanks for your reply Steve, I'll look and find out, those sound like very good questions...

    Why would sections of an RGB LED string freeze animating after 30 mins?

    Well, it's been a month since I wrote, but I can conclude that this very strange problem happens even with a replacement controller! It doesn't matter whether its the controllers preset that's looping, or some of mine from an SD CARD... after the same time length (about 35 minutes) of running...

    Why would sections of an RGB LED string freeze animating after 30 mins?

    Hi Steve, thanks for your reply, just confirming that yes, power is injected at the beginning and end of the string. I'm home now, so over the next few days will experiment with running different presets from an sd card, rather that 1 looping direct from the controller's stock memory. If that...

    Why would sections of an RGB LED string freeze animating after 30 mins?

    Thanks for your input, I look forward to trying the suggestions when I return home in a week. I can confirm that power is injected into the end. And the controller is in the living room, which is often cool at the time I've switched on the lights. With the lights themselves obviously outside...

    Why would sections of an RGB LED string freeze animating after 30 mins?

    Hi all, I have a t1000s RGB controller: http://www.kutop.com/program/T_1000S_SD_card_program_manual.pdf and 300x WS2811 LED pixels end to end - with 5V 20 Amp power inserted at either end: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/DC-5...18372&clkid=891682632273770700&_qi=RTM2063741 The RGB controller...

    What power adapter is best for 300x WS2811 LEDs on a t1000S controller?

    Mine must be: GAOHOU They are these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/50PCS-WS2811-RGB-Full-Color-12mm-Pixels-digital-Addressable-LED-String-DC-5V-/301984400380?hash=item464fac43fc:g:NzQAAOSwuhhXXsnH I've also found these power sources, which others have used with these LEDs in youtube videos...

    What power adapter is best for 300x WS2811 LEDs on a t1000S controller?

    Do you think if I use my 300ma adapter, I will burn it out? It worked fine when used for 5 minutes. Would I need to check if the plug is getting hot? And the advantage with these lights is I can programme the light sequence on the computer, put the presets on a memory stick and they are read by...

    How can I swap a stock piezo buzzer for a louder 140db buzzer?

    Thank you all for your replies. I'm heading to spain for a holiday (albeit stormy one!) so will reply on my return. I should mention though, that I wanted the 140db buzzer extracted from the device, and used in place of the ~90db buzzer that came with the sensor kit. OR convert the 12v power...

    How can I swap a stock piezo buzzer for a louder 140db buzzer?

    Hi all, I've bought a small proximity sensor kit and since the buzzer which came with it wasn't particularly loud for my purpose, I bought a 140db 'personal attack' alarm, that I hoped I could rip the buzzer from, and use instead of the original buzzer. Screenshot attached of the two buzzers...
