Hello to all,
This is my first year for computer animated lights. I only have 18 circuits this year, 10 of which are 2 foot trees. I'm running about 4600 lights. My current music series runs 29 minutes and 27 seconds. I'm planning on rerunning ever 30 minutes from about 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM weeknights. I have not thought about weekends yet but it will be longer. I have several 1 minute songs (Fast and Slow) and severel 3 to 4 minute songs (mostly fast).
I setup my display NOV 2, 3, and 4 of this year to make sure I had time to test all the circuits and run all the extention cords semi organized throughout my yard, basement and garage. (My wife complains about the Garage door being hard to shut).
Now if only my FM transmitter gets here soon.
Hopefully I will have a decent video and pics to display.
Use 3 8 port parallel circuits(Hand built from a designed from Computer Christmas), and VIXEN Software 1.0 version. I'm Slowly converting sequences to the new version for next year.
Well hope to see your displays soon I need ideas for next year.
