Here is the completed controller box and the type of RGB modules I will be using

Starting my landscape project. I am using my spare 16 channel DC board. I will have 8 RGB lights, wired in pairs, This so I dont have to buy another board at the moment. Using the square dumb RGB modules. This will also leave me with 4 spare channels for maybe single color floods. This part I am not sure about yet. I have a ton of RayWu style 4 pin waterproof connectors that I am going to use. I have written several squences already for different occasions and tested them in standalone mode. My next quest is to find an suitable style pathway landscape fixture to modify.

I think so too. Absolutley>

From what I have been reading. This post got off topic pretty quick and the discussion of shipping charges became the topic. The answer to the question about 3rd party rs485 adapters was never directly answered. Or did I miss something

I understand everything your saying. I would hate to wait 10 months only to find out that the problem is still there. Just trying to think of a way to test w/o having to set your whole display up. I was a component level tech for almost 40yrs. It would'nt hurt to do a bare bones test and maybe add a string of lights here and there. Just thinking off the cuff here. :)

Can't you run a couple of controllers w/o lights hooked for testing purposes and not have to wait till next year.

Thats fine. I was researching to be able to put a S5 sequence on my old spare 16 channel board to use in a standalone setup. Testing the board...working great.

Exactly what I did. Took some time but no issues.

Please update your profile with lic information so anyone can look and give better advice.

From S5 Pro 5.5.14 to create a las file for standalone operation. In the sequencer with the sequence of choice open, go to file and in the drop down select export as lms/las. Its that simple

This is from the LOR help desk about standalone using a Pixie board. A Light-O-Rama help desk staff member has replied to your request, #8558166 with the following response:This is an old feature that only supports non-enhanced network commands. You have to make a .las sequence (animation only with S4) in order to use this. This is from help desk also if you want all the sophistication A Light-O-Rama help desk staff member has replied to your request, #8558166 with the following response:Depends upon what you want to do. If you want the sophistication of motion effects and indiv

Yea confusing to say the least. Informative though. Thanks for the reply. I was just looking for confirmation on my thought process. Iam all in on the channel capacities

Still fairly new to S5 Pro, but starting to get the hang of things. I am building a new preview for my landscape lighting and looking for recommendations. My layout will be 4 each RGB WS2811 floodlights and 8 each RGB WS2811 pathway lights. I know its not a big layout. Here is my question, Is it better to put each prop separate then create 2 groups? All 4 floods separate, then a floodlight group. And the same with the pathway lights? Advantages and disadvantages?

I bought this one in 2014 on Amazon. Still working Signstek ST-05B Dual Mode Long Range Stereo Broadcast Home FM Transmitter with Antenna
