    Default Hi All, I'm working on something new... not a display but...

    Lighted parade floats for Christmas parades.. and maybe other parades as well.
    If you have ever seen the Main Street Electrical Parade you will know where I got the inspiration from. For now a turtle... This is drivable from inside via a modified wheelchair platform.

    So far I have the stripes lighted and just received the black body pixels I ordered that will be in the solid color areas.

    I have lots of pictures that I took along the way.. if anyone is interested I will make a dropbox link. bare chair small pic.jpg frame small pic.jpg no lights small pic.jpgstripes small pic.jpg

    That is way cool


    2022 - Not sure yet. At least two new songs.
    2021 New Tune-to sign. New 40x27 matrix at the house. Retiring the Strip based matrix. Updating some of the old window frames to the new house. Adding two new songs.
    2020 Full sized show reworked for the new location. Only adding (famous last words) 13 RBLs that I finally got converted to using pixels
    2019 - Just moved into a new home (yet another change of plans). Will be dim but not dark. Too much to do at the new place to leave time for a show. Dim show (3000 pixels) had regular visits most nights.

    Nice contraption, Craig!!!

    Even though the DIGWDF Store has been closed for almost three years, it's still awesome!
    User guides, documentation and other files are still free and available for downloading.
