FlexTech Light Show LED Strip Model for xLights

[patdelaney]

I have 4 sets of Gemmy Flextech strip lights. They are hackable and the information is posted on the doityourselfchristmas.com forum.

Hack: http://doityourselfchristmas.com/forums/showthread.php?24927-Flex-Tech-LightShow-How-do-we-hack-and-contrlling-with-LOR


They are NOT RGB they are a single color LEDs in groups of 12 groups of 9.
Group 1 Red, Group 2 Blue, Group 3 Green, Group 4 Yellow….. repeats until Group 12.

Is there a model currently in Nutcracker that can be used even though rainbow effects would not work. I’m more interested in the chase effects.

Each Pixel is 1 dmx address. They use 9816 protocol.

Thanks

so show me the channel layout.

is each goup using one channel? so a total of 12 channels?

[patdelaney]

Here is the layout of the pixels, each one is a single color with 1 dmx address:

R R R R R R R R R B B B B B B B B B G G G G G G G G G Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y   This grouping repeats 3 more times for a total of 108 LED's 108 dmx addresses.

they look nice.  I'm guessing their advantage is 3x the coverage for the same price?

The price was right for me they were free I wouldn't go actively looking for these strips it's just that I got them for free. I would rather use the regular pixel strips designed for what were are using them for. The hack was just for fun. :-)
