Hi Folks,

The wiki has been updated with more info about the Smart Strings. It now includes Links to Ray to buy the lights and accessories along with videos and documentation and more. Later we will be adding manuals and firmware.

Great to have all the information there.  Can I point out one minor error.
 
In the Light Type table the item labeled "RIDGED Strips" should be RIGID meaning not flexible.  RIDGED means it has ridges on it.  The link is also mislabeled.

Feel free to call me whiny or nit picky but I think we should use the correct term.  Thank you.

Any chance of getting a ssc picture/bom Added?

Thanks,

While I think that a pic of the controller might be nice, I wouldn't count on a BOM being posted until the first coop for them ships.  What I would like to see when possible are the manuals for the hub and controllers.

Hi Guys,

Yeah I need to get a ssc picture posted. Wiki boms are a thing of the past. When RJ is ready and happy with the Mouser bom then he will give me the link to be posted in the wiki. The manuals, firmware, etc will be posted when ready but when is yet to be determined.

Sorry I can't provide any more info (I really don't have any LOL)

Cheers

As someone who held and witnessed a demo of smart strings at a mini this weekend, please accept my appreciation for the smart string wiki, especially the links to Ray Wu's store.  All the information is interesting and useful.  I enjoyed the videos of RJ dipping his cords to take the extra step towards achieving weather resistance.  The can-do, go-forward attitude of the smart string crowd is refreshing ( and hopefully contagious).

Hi Folks,

Some people have discovered that I have uploaded RJ's hex files and SS utility to the wiki. I just wanted everyone to know they are there. The Windows program is located in the SS Library under software and in the Software page of the wiki. The hex files are with each device. The SSC has two hex files. The normal one to control the nodes and a separate test mode hex file that auto runs a sequence when power up, so you don't need you computer.

Hi Folks

RJ has released the Vixen ver 2.1.x output plugin for Pixelnet. Just place the pixelnet.dll file to your /plugin/output folder and then you can select it to send data to the Lynx USB dongle with pixelnet firmware loaded.

Its in the Software section of the Smart String Library in the Wiki

I went to the wiki page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login and clicked on the flexible strips link to aliexpress

and it says the item is no longer available. I clicked on the other smart string links and they all say that the item is no longer avalable.
Did Ray change the listing?

Looks like their may be an issue with Ray's store.  If you click on his main store and try to look list all his products, nothing comes up.  So either Ray is out of business or there's a glitch in the system.
