Apologies are accepted and appreciated as we don't want you losing money on these wonderful products, but there's no need to feel guilty about it. Either people are willing to pay that price you need to keep these products in production or they aren't, at which point you will know that it's time to stop selling them. I don't want to pay more, of course, as I've got increasing financial pressures like everyone else, but raising the price by a couple dollars isn't the end of the world and your boards are still excellent values with no direct competition that I'm aware of. Thank you for all that you do.

Don't feel bad about the price raise, you make a great product that is used and loved at a reasonable price, thanks for the seriously hard work to make our lives easier

Dude, I appreciate your desire to keep prices low, but you don't need to ever apologize for price increases the are beyond your control (and they are all beyond your control). It is what it is. The world as a whole doesn't care. Your humility and transparency along the way more than makes up for the price increases and we all greatly appreciate your humility and honesty in the process.

I TRUST YOU! Charge us a fair price. $37 to $39? It'd still be amazing at $45. You've earned it. You're too kind.

Love the new design, just ordered two more quad-dig's. Your boards have made home automation and led projects fun, easy, and reliable around the home.

Dude. There's nothing wrong with making money. Your product has value. People should pay for value. Honestly, it's still under priced. This is a great product and I hope it brings you some good income. Thank you for bringing this to market.

Thank you for all of your time, hard work, and dedication to designing/making these boards and supporting/leading the LED community! Price increases are part of life with this damn pandemic (especially with anything electronic), so we understand. I do want to say that we (myself and my family) love our Dig Quad v2's and use them every day in our new house! I've got a lot more LEDs to get put up, and I'll have to share the progress in discord sometime 👍

DO NOT FEEL BAD ABOUT RAISING PRICES!!! With you boards I'm now able to make an xLiight show for the first time. Which has been a dream of mine for the last 6 years, but the Falcon and Kulp controllers were way out of my price range. $50 compared to $200+ it's a no brainer which board I'm going with. Love and appreciate all you do for LED community. Keep up the good work. We all understand things will have to go up and you have to eat still. Thanks again.

Happy new Year wherever on this blue marble you are! As of releasing this video the QuinLED-Dig-Quad is available again in the worldwide store and on a plane to DrZZs in the US for local sale there!

Amazing products! I have both the Uno (multiples of those) and the quad V2, and I thank you for both your hard work and willingness to share with all of us. You have been more than fair with your pricing, in my opinion. And I think I can speak for a lot of us who enjoy working with your boards, paying just a few bucks more is so worth it to A. compensate you for your intellectual property you so freely share, and B. for the continued availability of the boards. Frankly, I'd pay much more than 2 dollars increase to help assist with that availability. Many many thanks! You are responsible for my entire holiday light display. You and Aircookie are incredible people!

I’m glad you decided the build and sell these boards it’s great 😊 I remember your passed videos when you where not convinced it was a good idea.

i went gulp when you started talking about the price and raced off to look, and mate! you are being more than reasonable...

I just watched this video and hearing you talking about raising the price of the boards (and being concerned about it) ... Don't be! These boards are amazing, everything has gone up everywhere so it is expected. Like you said, shortage and shipping is not helping anybody here but one thing I can say, please keep up the good work by making and improving these boards!!! Thanks for what you do and making our projects possible with very little knowledge on our part simply because your boards are truly amazing!

I 100% understand the price going up. I work for a company that designs, builds, and repair electronics that we use in our robotics. I help with all those functions including re-speccing parts due to availability and lead time. That has gotten out of hand really really bad lately. We have 40 and 50 week plus lead times on many of the parts we use and have had to make significant redesigns to work around the parts availability, only to find that some of the parts that we switched to are out of stock again by the time the redesign is complete

"subscribe and all that goof stuff!" Great typo 😆 Thanks for everything that you do and all the best in 2022, Quindor.

Nice! The terminals were the only complaint I had about my Dig-Quad. It was a struggle to use ferrules.

Great video as always, good job and keep on trucking into 2022.

I've just ordered a Quad, can't wait to try it out!

Quindor, the cost is what it is. We understand and if folks can afford to purchase the board at the lower price, they’ll be able to afford the higher cost. We know this political football called COVID has affected everyone/everything. It sucks because we’re all making less when you factor all these increases. Pass along the cost increases and demand will adjust accordingly. Thanks for making these boards. I bought four over a year ago and happy to say my mom is enjoying her lights right before Christmas. And we’ve been enjoying our lights for over a year now. God bless!

Just purchased a Dig quad board, dont mind the price at all. Excited to get it hooked up and running!

Inflation is a real and its hitting everyone. Don't sweat a price increase as long as your product is well made. I have been meaning to pick up some of these for a while. Think I'll order at least 2 tomorrow. Thanks!

Thanks for the videos and the boards. Happy New Year!

Nice to hear your explanation about price raise, shipping was already a deal breaker for me but now I definitely know I won't be getting a diguno or quad. Guess I'll have to make something diyish myself to keep stuff affordable.

This is a great controller!! Thank you!!

you have to charge accordingly !!!!!! the new world unfortunally we still love the boards

You should be able to continue what you do and make at least a little money. We don't want that you lose money and stop doing it! Happy New Year 2022!

I want to connect a input switch to the one of the gpio. How do you go about doing this and using the HomeAssistant to receive this input trigger from the switch. We need some video examples on how to use and configure all this features such as the available pins as input trigger and output relays on the quad board. Instead what it can do.

people who support your products will be totally fine with the price raise... in fact, i'd argue many would want the price increase to be a bit more - the reason being that they want to see the products continue and see you continue... no one wants to see stuff die over a few dollars.

thank you for the videos and tutorials. i got my dig-quad v3 last week and it's awesome. for the pre-program esp32 can i program also the sound reactive sw?

Last video 2021 gelukkig nieuwjaar 🥳

was trying to add it to xlights totaly diffrent set up to a falcon

is there any way to reset the board think i stuffed mine when i acidently intalled binary thinking it was a update

Hi I'm using 18awg from power supply to controller and 18awg to pixels , was not sure if i should go lower awg from power supply to controller , i gather 18awg is fine for pixels but was not sure if i needed to go say 12awg or 14awg from power supply to controller , any help welcome .

Just received my dig quad with esp32 (AE). On the back of the esp32 it says 5v only. I have 12v LEDs, obviously I also have a 12v power supply. Do I need a separate 5v power supply for the esp32?

Is their a way I can do this with Alexa without home assistant

is there a wiring diagram for RGBW set ups anywhere?, i have i think 4 boards so far and am thinking of upgrading to that type of led strip

It's there a way to use it for lighting up stairs? I know you can connect a button, what about sensors (PIR, or, preferably, better ones like bean interruption or whatever they're called)?

Do any of your boards have a built on mic for sound react? I am working on projects using under 2 strips 1 5 m 1 3 m . Looking to control separately if possible and music react. Any of your boards you recommend?

The 5th channel has data booster? Thanks

What am I doing wrong with ferrules and these screw terminal blocks. Every time I remove one they pull the metal on the top out with them, I have to bend it back up and shove it in with a tiny screwdriver. Otherwise love my DigUno/Quads!

You don’t need to justify making a profit and dealing with global shipping issues. Money is what gives you feedback that you’re making something people want.

I received my quad-ABE v3 a few days ago and loving it so far! Is there any advantages, or disadvantages, from doing power injection from the diq-quad vs my power supply? I think the boards are a great value.. Thank you for your time.

I would feel bad about the price increase. the bottom line is everything cost more today, no way around that. and this increase is far under the average increase every other product has seen...

Ive bought a dig-quad and 4x 5Meter SK6812 5vdc LED strips (300 leds each strip) and they can take up 15.25amps at full brightness. Because these are ip67 strips I don't plan on running them at full amperage because they will likely overheat but would like at least be able to drive them at 10amps each. The dig-quad is fused at 5amps each channel. I can limit the max current in the software to 10 amps but can i replace the 5amp fuses and put 15 amp fuses for protection? What is the max amperage for each channel that this quad board can handle?

How would this controller handle severe cold weather? im looking to do permanent outdoor lighting on my home.

Any ideas on weather resistant for data injection?

Any updates on a timeline when the DigQuads will be back in stock?

We want to install some leds on our boat. We have both 12v and 24v onboard. What would you recommend for QuinLED product for this purpose? 3 different zones some around 30 meters of WLED. Appreciate any guidance!

Does the board lose the configurations when you cut the power ?

Can i connected via ethernet and still control my dig quad with my iPhone

Is it possible to use 2 types of powersupplies with the Dig-Quad? Because I want to run a 24V and a 5V LED Strip at the same time but I dont wanna buy 2 ESP32s 😅

Hi i have have the latest digi quad v3 can anyone tell me how many ws2811 12v and 5v pixel strings will this except on a single channel thanks

Any news on the Quad DIY variant you were going to update to more resemble the production variant?

When will the quad v3 available again? Thanks

I assume boost max distance is 10m/32ft because of voltage drop and attenuation. Could you hypothetically go forever with repeat power-injected boosters every 10m/32ft (or less)?

Is the schematic and gerbers available for v3?

Which board would be needed if I’m doing my living room outer ceiling the dig uno would be fine right? I’m also wanting to do my bedroom outer ceiling as well? Or does it matter how long the length of les it will take to do the outer ceiling ?

Hi Intermit.Tech i looked at your article very interesting but for a novice like myself i got lost , i have your latest dig quad very pleased with it but here are my questions i would like to ask , i will be running a tree with 600 5v pixels on it , would you suggest i separate each channel to maybe 150 each or 600 to one channel , would prefer to run just off channel one if possible , now where it really confuses me is the power injecting , if i put 600 5v pixels on channel 1 then power inject from the dig quad spare controller ports ie 2 3 4 5 to every 100 pixels do you think this is ok ? would be really grateful if you could help on this , but reading your articles baffles a novice like myself , any help welcome , or a better way of running 600 5v pixels on the dig quad .

Apologies that this is off subject. When I use presets to turn off my dig-uno I always seem to end up with the first 5/6 leds illuminating after a few hrs. If I power up then off again they extinguish for so long then re illuminate. Sometimes white with one red or all white. Any ideas on this ? Thanks from the UK.

Got a question anything stopping a ethernet external antenna version

15 bucks shipping, seriously?? I ordered one, but im in doubt if a second will follow...

It looks like everything is out of stock in the U.S when will you be getting more?

Hi guys, do you how many meter of cable I can connect from this quinled to the strip led? If for example I have 5 meter of cable away from the led they would turn on? Thanks

What are the screw down spade connectors called? Been looking for something like that.

i just hope the supply meets the demand but its too hard to buy as of now

Hi Quindor, I would really like to buy 2 pieces of your Magic boards (quin led DIG4) but I'm still wondering if these will ben compatible with ws2815 I got on Aliexpress at BTF Lighting's. SKU for 1meter version is: ws28151m60lb65, but I bought 27m for my project. Actually, I tried many configurations to make them work (several models of esp32, several level shifters including Texas instruments SN74AHCT125N, several resistor values between led strip and data line from level shifter etc. ) and all I get is a flickering led strip.After 2 weeks (each evening) trying and failing I m out if despair, and not sure Wled on an esp32 can make them work. Have these kind of led strips ever been tested on your boards? Would you mind helping me on the right way of wiring the level shifter to make some tests ? I'm very impressed about the great job you do, and your boards are exactly what I need. Many many thanks in advance. Regards, Alex.

11.07.22 Supplies seem to be problematic. What is the issue? Is it Chinese suppliers or?

Hi there can anyone tell me were i can purchase in the uk please Thanks

Meah, man's got to eat... don't worry about it its not your fault really. Just set your margin and let it rise and fall as the market goes...

would it be possible to use 4 of these and create a mega tree?

No shame on that. Just maybe something for the European and American governments to think about ... not having all the stuff nade ONLY on China. I'm not talking only about components but everything. Some day they'll just start making whatever prices they want, with the conditions they want ... As for your stuff, it's great as usual. Thanks for the great work. Happy New Year 😉

Will this work with xlights?

Is there any chance for v3 for diyers?

how can i become a seller in the us ?

does it commicate over 2.5GH?

Dude! You have ZERO control over sourcing costs! If you doubt this, Google Ford and how many vehicles they sitting in a lot, waiting for controllers.

Price hikes?! in this economy ?! Before you know it we'll all be locked into a proprietary ecosystem making quin a billionaire with these artifical margins! /s

@Intermit.Tech I have just installed the QuinLED-Dig-Quad. Works great :-) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pL6IatGo2q-2l6c.html - Gonna order a couple more soon :-)

Pricing is pricing - it is what it is and I’ve bought enough individual project boards from people to know that no matter what you do someone will complain that they can’t afford the new price and if that’s the case then that’s not your problem … you’re not a charity! More of a problem for me is my step kids sniggering at you calling someone or something a dickwad… 🤣

Don’t be sorry bro for increasing the price. You r in business. You have to eat. Foquality product i can pay double.

Wel triestig een Hollands product wereldwijd met import taxen moet worden aangekocht........
