I don't see what's hard about DIYing your own WS2811 controllers? Their hardware performance might not outdo a $200 controller, but 66 Arduinos sure...

Is it true open source, or does it just support API's, plugins, etc.? I'm curious about using an .img to install (as opposed to just being able...

There was a time, not really that long ago, when you had to build your own controllers, sometimes using point to point wiring, too. Then someone came...

FPP is open source but based on "appliance mentality". It is far more than a fseq player. It does master-remote by sending sync packets only. ...

I DIY the controllers--not the player. I haven't really seen LightShowPi support fseq format, so I can't really import Xlights. That's the problem....

FPP works with a myriad of controllers, not just Falcons. It has plenty capability to output control signals out GPIO pins, ethernet, wireless and...

I think you're really going to struggle with getting text to look good on icicles that are 8 pixels in height. With that having been said, I believe...

I use these clips and just use regular nylon string through the coro to hang my snowflakes and wreaths.

I use plastic fencing from Lowes. I thread a piece of 1/2 pvc pipe through the top & bottom. I have installed two square bend brass hooks up high...

I cannot find a way to save them as a .jpg on;ly options are a gif png or zip

I tried using locations, but it does not work. It creates the text, in the correct orientation, but a MUCH larger version. My icicles are all 8...

I am using these https://hw.menardc.com/main/items/media/BOLST001/ProductLarge/2352_396_A.jpg for my snowflakes. I put a 3.5" bolt thru one of the...

How would you waterproof EL wire?

Expensive board it seems to me. There must be other alternatives? \

I don't know if it's the same video, but I just attended a class today at the 2021 Virtual Christmas summit who did a 3D print of bullets, and...

Absolutely, but how much did the canopy run? Thanks for chiming in. If there's a good way to bring in steel that's not $10,000, I've got a bunch...

A couple of ideas. Vinyl siding usually comes apart. When we had windows replaced, they popped them off carefully. Once you open them up, you could...

i have the falcon 16v3 with diff receivers. i run 2 ports as dmx in LOR mode to drive my 4 AC controllers, 1 24 port led controller and one cosmic...

I took large tomato cages and wrapped lights around the outside then wrapped heap garland around them to make them look realistic during the day. ...

I have a 20ft by 20ft canopy over my pool. it uses 1" steel pipe and standard couplers like used for the canopie at swap meets. Maybe frame this...

the clear one is a c-7

I absolutely have delay, and I'm okay with it. I don't feel the need to synchronize the lights that tightly. For example, Halloween, my sound is...

I am no expert but have been hanging out here for a few years. Your layout looks common and shouldn't be a problem. I don't think I've ever heard of...

IMO: If the off Christmass shows do not do the same things as the Christmas show then it will not become ho-hum.

I have pondered that. This year is a bit different, because people are looking for pandemic safe activities. Many people have been thankful for the...
