Benjamin Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I added a pixi16 this year with 50pixi light strands. The controller can light up to 100pixis at a time (two strands). testing my show i noticed that some of the strands that have two strands contected the pixis after the first strand will stop working for a bit then come back on. Not sure how to troubleshoot since all the lights will work then stop for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDucks Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 How many TOTAL strands? What Voltage? How many Watts per PSU? BTW Advanced is not enough for a Pixie16 loaded. You need to run in ELOR mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 All 16 slots are being used with 9 having two standards only 1 is using thr full 100 the others are using 60pixis out of 100 available. Its 120v dont know how to figure out watts per psu How do i run ELOR mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 120v dont know how to figure out watts per psu How do i run ELOR mode? The voltage I refer to is the PSU output. 12V or 5V is most common. P = I * E (Watts = Amps times Volts . ) My strings run 3A per 50 (white). 36W Yours may be lower power (or not), you need to look at the spec sheet or tag (if still there) 100 nodes would draw 72W (and the4A fuse will blow if left on very long at full white unless you power inject) Idle nodes draw a small amount for the chip. lets add 1 more Amp each string of 60 = 4A or 48W 💡 Try and balance the loads (shuffle, so roughly the same number of nodes are on each) on the power buses . Those have Max Limits also ~30Amps IIRC Upgrade to PRO is required for ELOR. Someone with S6 will need to chime in where the Network SPEED setting is now so you can tick the ELOR box on the Pixie Networks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 Thank you for the help upgraded to pro and now all the lights work. Did create a new problem how do i get thr chanels back in thr sequencewr. The sequenceer changed everything to motion effects and im trying to convert old sequences to new preview but the motion effects preventing me from pasting sequince onto the channels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
