I agree with Mike,

Something happen there. We will have to wait and see whats going on.

I did a search for one of the string nodes and found it with a different contact name. I am just not sure if its the same chip in the nodes.

Lets just wait and see, maybe RJ can talk with him.

Cheers

i would wait before buying nodes that look like our nodes...

remember, they could be from the old factory, so the quality would be lower.

I know he is not out of business and I just received a second shipment of nodes yesterday and 3 were flaky and he emailed me back that he would ship me replacements along with a sample c9 cover to try.

It was interesting to hear that the old factory did not honor their product replacements for defectives, so made Ray pay for replacement out of his own pocket.  Even more impressive Ray did this for us. 

My only gripe for repeat orders is how pricey the shipping is, despite how small the box (I get) is.  They pack a lot into a really small box, then cover it with a gallon of tape and padding.   This is why you must ask Ray for a combined shipping quote, as its almost always more reasonable then ... esp. on larger orders.

Just got email from Ray who said not to worry.  His site is just being updated and should be back online by Monday.  Hopefully "updated" doesn't mean higher prices.

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

Good to know.  Has there been any estimation on when the Pixelnet code for the dongle will be released?

I was looking to purchase some of the "smart String" lights from the DiyLightAnimation website (RJ and company) but they appear to be unavailable... Can you provide status?

I am looking for information on the 12v option for the smart string hub.  I can't seem to find any on the wiki.  Would somebody mind pointing me in the right direction. 
Thanks,
Ken

RRowan,
I am looking for the parts that will need to be purchased to make this happen.  I did not include this option in my coop order and there is not a list for the parts attached to the mouser parts or that I can find in the wiki. 

Ken

Edit Post
Rick has updated the wiki with this information.  thanks again Rick

I second the request by golights. I have acquired some DC power supplies and I would like to add the option to my Smart String Hub. Did not order it initially as I intended to use PC power supplies.
57 (1057 now) Channels and Nothings On!
So I'll blink lights instead
