Hi guys,
Thinking of doing a matrix. looking at options, it's 4m X 500.
is this something that would be suited to just using p5 panels or can I do it with pixels??
Spotted these at Bunnings the other day.. looked like an interesting wireframe. has anybody done anything with these?? I like the low profile could use them hard up against the fence.
the Bluetooth is a data connection to a phone/ device to be used as an additional display/remote display.. that feature is badass.. so is the logging onto SD card.. so way overkill for this hobby, if I was still in the 12v automotive industry I'd be looking for a reason not to buy this right away..
ok that makes sense DJ, your right up on the far outer edge of your gutter.. I think that's going to be my solution as well. I have at least 4 maybe 5 (can't remember without going outside) that are in the way of my gutter outlines.. I have another one right on the front pillar which I will have...
Mine Arrived on Friday, Thank you so much Darryl, I understand how much work goes into getting this organised.. Now I have a controller here I really need to get the rest of my stuff organised and get started!!
I like it Dreamin.. I'm now thinking that i need to add a 3d printer to my list of things to buy.. lol
one question that I've been considering when looking at mounting on my gutters/facias/eves is how do you guys deal with downpipes?? Do you stop and start either side of the downpipe or run...
Yeah thats the one DJ. it was an impulse buy at Bunnings after Christmas.. I think I paid 22.50 for it so I'm not super attached to it.. I normally set it up in one of my front rooms and use it as a rear projection onto the included screen.. it works ok, but as that room doesn't have any doors...
Hey guys, Just looking at some options in relation to signing faces/ matrix / mega tree elements that many of you have I'm not sure that I'm ready to get that far this year and maybe a Data projector is an easier solution to start with and look to bring in some of those elements next year??
I...
One thing to remember the length off the cable will change the current capacity or the cable.. A longer run will reduce the current capacity, however a shorter run will Increase that capacity.. If your running cable inside an enclosure and you use a decent size you should be fine.. 10 or 12ga...
You can't test data with a multi meter (need a scope for that), but the ability to chuck a meter on the end of a string and see if data is passing out is useful I would imagine.. You would test the front of the string and compare it to the back.. You should see something fairly similar voltages...
Hey guys, another annoying question..
Looking for a new multimeter.. sold all my good gear years ago.. but to be honest I prefer old-school style multimeters eg. manual range adjustment. I'm not a fan of auto ranging ones.. mainly because they cannot be used for fault finding data lines...
I'd suggest using your pixels a little more static, and using some DJ style lights to do the music sense.. Some Gobos and a laser?? maybe a smoke machine?? All of these things can be purposed into your show.. I'm looking at some programmable lasers at the moment.. I can use them to draw designs...
Working in car audio I have used many irons over the years..
