rain

I have gotten as much off of the ground as I could. 

Now my static lights are fine. It's the controllers not playing nice.

Are you wireless?

[deanathpc]

No. Gave up on wireless a long time ago. Didn't like how it caused flickering and delays / lag time in the show.

We have been lucky so far. It has rained the past three nights, but has not started until after the show was done.
My wife bought me an electric leaf blower three years ago.
Today I actually found a use for it. (I don't do leaves)
I walked around the yard this afternoon and blow dried all the extension cords.

LOL well I have used my wife's hair dryer to dry out the controllers!

Hey Dean, its raining here now and ive had the worst luck the gfis kicking. What i did today is took all the baggies off and propped all cables to a horizontal position so no water can lay in the socket and now it seems fine right now. Im not trying to jinx myself but its working.  Give it a try. It may help.

[deanathpc]

Yeah everything here is horizontal already.  For the most part. The supply cables are covered or wrapped up and appear dry. So... It's something with the controllers.  Just don't know what.

I don't have em all above ground though I'm sure.  Could be part of it.  Some are going to be near impossible to get above ground though the way things are laid out.  Half the display is still working though. So that theory might be blown out.  I just don't know.  I'm at a loss right now.

Also,  my leaping deer are secured with all thread and the deer are metal framed and they kept kicking the gfi. So i did a process of elimination .. unplugged everything from that controller and plugged each channel back in one at a time til i found the problem. I know its frustrating but thats what worked for me... give that a try .

I'm tempted to pull my gfci and put a standard outlet for my show hardware... I actually got shocked and they didn't trip from a broken bulb the night I installed my stuff... I'm still trying to figure out why it is tripping for rain but when it ACTUALLY SHOCKED ME they didn't trip....

[deanathpc]

Yes I've started unplugging controllers trying to narrow it down. Seems sporadic as of right now though.  I have some more things to check still.

i just finally setup the controllers and hub for my mega tree.  i decided to make some extension cords for the 3pin wire using the 3 core connectors.

i can see all sorts of pixels acting up, and saw one node decide to bbq itself.

since it's been raining for a few days, i can blame it on the rain, right? 

[TexasStingray]

If that make you feel better than sure, It's still not going to resolve the issue.

[chrisatpsu]

i believe my extensions i made are what's causing the random pixel acting up.

the node that fried itself didn't have enough coating on it.  i had spliced it in, and forgot to coat it.

no rain tomorrow, so i'll have a chance to make repairs
