    This didn't age well. It appears that regulated suck (use more power, need more power injection, stops working at a higher voltage) compared to resistor pixels.

    This is fantastic content. One question I have, however, is given the 5-10 dollar transmitter option, there is a single solder point for a basic 75 CM antenna. How does one affix a coaxial connection to that point for a hookup to a homemade dipole antenna? I made a dipole and am using a Balun coax transformer so the upper lead of the dipole is on the coax center conductor. Given the type of transmitter mentioned, would one just have the center line conductor solder to the antenna out connection on the transmitter?

    So your snow machine isn't hooked up to Fpp? I currently have mine running with DMX throughout the whole song. It would be awesome if it would disable or enable that DMX port without needing to restart FPP programmatically. Then it wouldn't matter what song is playing as long as it's programmed in.

      F16V3 has the regular bladed car fuses not the new e-fuses so these would not be software controllable

I was looking for another ways to get my 9 1/2 ft. mega tree up again from Holiday Coro w/ 10ft. rail tubing from Home Depot.

    I’m using mp3 gain and still song to song there’s a noticeable difference in volume? MP3gain states they are all equal at 90db but they are not all the same

    • @JasonRasmussen
      @JasonRasmussen 11 месяцев назад

      MP3 Gain is just normalization. If you want all audio files to be much more same volume, then you need to apply compression on all your audio files.
