larryk5 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 There are 3 colors, red green and blue. Turn them all on and you get white! Is that what your asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbmurray210 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 When you are building a rgb flood in visualizer is the 1st RGB device Circuit 1 for red, 2 for green 3 for blue? Or do you use just circuit 1 for all 3 colors on the same device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWSanta Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7j11VLsKoE&feature=youtu.be WOW This was extremely helpful. I am going to take this home and play with it now. Just thread jacking. I'm just getting my feet wet with RGB this year. I'm using a Rainbow flood from Seasonalentertainmentllc.

TheJackal Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Which 'Device Type' would you use when programming a CMB24D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheJackal Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 So treat it as another controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubado Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Yes. BTW, glad to see you back on the forum. How's your setup coming along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJackal Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Yes. BTW, glad to see you back on the forum. How's your setup coming along?Hours at work were making it impossible to do anything. Leave my house 6:15, get home 7:00. Now I have a new route and I'm home 4:00. Not sure I can get everything I want done. But, we'll see. Never realized the sequencing would take so much time.

TheJackal Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Which RGB strings (dumb) would you recommend? Also, what would you suggest for 12V power? PS...no edit button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubado Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 The ribbon with the silicon jacket is the best, but more expensive. The silicon coated ribbon is cheaper, but the backside is not weather proof. It needs to be imbedded in silicon for it to last. I buy my ribbon from Ebay, lots of vendors and wide price range for the same thing. Amazon is the best place for a 12v, 30amp power supply.

NWSanta Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 So are you all guys just using LOR DC Boards to driver your RGB lights then? It seems to me that you guys have control over each individual RGB light but, maybe I'm missing something. Evan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sax Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Most RGB lights are DC. So you need the DC board to drive the RGB channel. So you get 8 channels of RGB out of that 24 channel LOR DC card. For me, since I am using only dumb strings of lights, each channel is controlling up to 200 bulbs. One card is able to handle 2 bushes, 2 trees and 4 floods (each flood on a different RGB channel). The LOR DC card is another component on the LOR network and mine has 2 AC boxes, 3 CCR boxes and the DC card. So far the pieces are playing nice. Before the LOR DC card came out I had already added DMX cards. These also drive the RGB components but are 27 channels or 9 RGB channels. They run on the DMX network. I have 2 of these cards on my separate DMX network. Again, they are all playing nicely. I control each channel individually in the SW but each RGB channel is actually 3 channels being controlled in the SW. The color fade tool makes this possible. And that is with the LOR DC card or the DMX cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyinverted Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 RGB TIPS: The colors in the color picker tool don't always match the output of the lights. Orange and Yellow are very hard to get right. Use the Hardware control panel to get the color you want then convert the 100% values to 255 equivalents Example. If the color you want is R=80%, G=40%,B=10%, then the RGB values would be 204,102,25. In my sequences when I need white, I normally run white at 80%, which is still white and leaves me with the option to use 100% for "Really Bright White" elsewhere for accents.

jeff.francis84 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 What's everyone using to extend Dumb RGB LED 4 wire? Where you getting the cable and ends? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLD Kevin Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I think most make there own cables by soldering 4wire pigtails ends to 4wire cable. The nice thing about that is you get the exact length you need. Or you can use pre-made 4wire cables. I carry both pigtails and cables in different lengths. http://store.creativelightingdisplays.com/Waterproof-Cables_c28.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbmurray210 Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 I used 18/4 shielded security wire worked well 500' for 56.50 4 prong both female and male ends 10 sets for 13.95 (not a bad deal) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
