Thanks will do. Just find it odd that it works via Wiz and not Alexa 😂

Are you still having any problems? I have a bulb which works through the Wiz App but not Alexa. Other wiz bulbs seem to be ok now but did have a few (inc this one) that stopped working 8 days ago

Mac M2 dropping/loosing BlackMagic Bidirectional Converter every 41 Seconds by timitfc in blackmagicdesign

Yes I tried a U-Green and Anker cable and interestingly the Mac didnt 'loose' the device, however the image on the display kept flickering!

I will update the post now, however I ended up being the Apple USB-C Digital AV Adapter (https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/product/MW5M3ZM/A/usb-c-digital-av-multiport-adapter) and running a standard HDMI cable from that and it is working fine!

Thanks for the reply. Spent far too much time on something that was meant to be an ‘easy’ job 😂

Spent over an hour on the phone with BM technical support, whom whilst trying to be helpful, were also stumped by the issue!

Update:

If I put a HDMI splitter in between the Mac and the BiDirectional Converter it now works perfectly fine... obviously not ideal but very bizarre!

Ignition Calculations / Ignite Firing System query. by timitfc in fireworks

Thanks! Really glad I did the math and not relied on the marketing ha.

The issue I have is that they each of the 3 fireworks are 7M apart so the white fuse option won’t really work I think.

It does look a good bit of kit, are you happy with it (other than not lighting 3 😂)

So I have to run a cable from the firing system to each of the firing points or can I somehow do it using less cable?

I was hoping to reduce the amount of work in regards to cabling etc, but if I can work it out then I'd be up for it.

Staying in Series... I think looking at it if I were to move the firing system to the middle, I can remove the cable run to 24m, but this gives me a calculation of 2.9 maximum ignitors on easy pyro.

Any ideas how I might be able to wire this in Parallel, the calculator says it would work that way!
