scubado Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Not doing pics till it's done. Room is currently a mess. I doubt I'll have it done before Christmas, so don't hold your breath. I need to have a lot of Patience for this project. Patience is a hint, but I won't respond to any guesses. Wife let me make a much needed purchase for my project today so I can proceed. Could be picture ready enough by end of next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobschm Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Finished recording all the tracks for "Penguin Holiday". Now I have to mix down and sequence. Plenty of time, right? That is why I used the DC-DC converters on the Plasma Icicles.. That voltage drop is a killer some times. Hope your supplies make it in time.. You are early enough to not be in the Christmas rush so you should be fine. What about your data stream? How is that for distance?

bobschm Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Data stream is fine. One of the universes is closest to the E682, but it has the extended power line. Where did you get a DC converter that was weatherproof? Data stream is fine. One of the universes is closest to the E682, but it has the extended power line. Where did you get a DC converter that was weatherproof? Might do that next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipperyclam Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 troubleshot the network Issue found the problem.

plasmadrive Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I got them from a company that gave me too much grief for defective devices so I don't recommend them. I finally had to go thru PayPal dispute to resolve the issue... well, at least get some $$ back... They have manufacturing problems that they refuse to acknowledge even though I showed them a video of defective product testing without even removing it from the sealed packaging. Once I got working units they work fine..So I don't advertise for them.. Bring back that edit button darn it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santas Helper Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Moved the beer to make room for thawing the turkey. Created show after upgrading. Ran the show with little timing issues (adjust sequences). All is well there but have a portion of the mega tree tower floods not working right (first 8 channels). I think it's cat5 cable or controller fuse but too late and cold for tonight. Will check it out tomorrow.Warming up (40s/50s) and dry for the next 7 days so things aren't too bad to get finishing touches done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobschm Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Plasmadrive, you should name the bad guys. It's like waking into a buffet and being told, "Don't eat what I ate!" Leaves you wondering which item to avoid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
