Thanks for the walkthrough David. Found the link to they youtube clip on AusChristmasLighting forum. I have been doing LOR DC lights for the past 3 years and going pixel this year. Your video has been a great insight, so thank you.
Club7Swan sorry only just saw your question. The small enclosures were from Masters, these are quite commonly used within the Christmas lighting community, if you search on ACL for 'Masters boxes' there is plenty of info. Of course Masters is no longer around but I spotted these recently in Bunnings branded as Click. auschristmaslighting.com/forums/index.php/topic,9506.msg84372.html#msg84372
You mention 31V supply, and show 2 DMX controllers, is it possible you could put up a link where the DMX DC controller that runs 31V was purchased? I am only ever able to find ones with a maximum of 24VDC. Thanks.
Sure, the DMX controllers are 27ch boards from Ray Wu (HD712). These are a popular controller and there is lots of research and info on them on ACL, links below. I think they are listed at 24V but it has been discussed that they are good up to 35V and also if you are handy with a soldering iron it is possible to beef up the tracks to allow more than 1A per channel if required. www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Easy-DMX-LED-controller-dmx-decoder-driver/701799_378111925.html auschristmaslighting.com/wiki/HD712 auschristmaslighting.com/forums/index.php/topic,741.0.html
I should also add, my controllers only came with XLR connectors so I added RJ45 connectors by fitting a module from Hanson Electronics www.hansonelectronics.com.au/product/rj45-27ch/ If you were buying new controllers, it looks like Ray now sells this controller with both RJ45 and XLR connectors www.aliexpress.com/store/product/27channel-easy-constant-voltage-dmx-decoder-with-RJ45-interface-DC7-24V-input/701799_1558064774.html?spm=2114.12010615.0.0.yGWVXo
Thanks. It just had me confused as to why they all were 9-24v and i was unable to find one to handle 31v (which lead me to buying a ws2811 30 channel controller from Hansons a few months ago for my DC static lights)
G Salinas great, glad I could share. If you haven't already be sure to check out auschristmaslighting.com and the 101 manual which is a great place to start - auschristmaslighting.com/forums/index.php/topic,1889.0.html Good luck and enjoy.
Great tour and explanation David. :)
da-share Thanks David, did you notice a couple of your tune to signs, they worked well.
I did see those. :)

Can you tell me where you got your small enclosures from (11min : 56sec). I'm hoping they might available in Australia, preferably QLD :-)
Great, glad you found it helpful. Good luck with the pixels this year, keep us posted.
