I would suggest installing 2026.01 and seeing if you still have matrix issues. It should still accept all the changes you made.

Arranging for him to buy more Baldric controllers?!?! 🤪

With such a large expanse of ground between things a pixel forest with the proper density and spacing should be able to give a very nice effect and fill a lot of space that is not normally used.

I lean more towards painted / printed coro props. If you need to look at them all the time I think they look nicer with color and designs when it makes sense. I have either painted/ printed props or just plain props. It's mostly a personal preference on how you want things to look.

This is how I put mine together. I used the NBF-32016 by Bud Industries which is Internal Dimensions: 11.01" × 7.02" × 4.62". I could have mounted it directly on the power supply but decided to use 2 levels because I am weird at wanted the wires facing down. As you can see there is more than...

I'll be in the US at the same time!

So, outside of basic shapes and patterns, what exact would be the benefit of 20 drones? If you think of a drone as an individual pixel, there are not a lot of things we do with only 20 pixels. At least with pixels there is the coro to give a basic outline so the viewer can form the mental image...

Let me start by saying currently everything I have for the show is outside on my front porch for the entire show season. Personally, I do not like the idea of one mega enclosure to put everything into it. There is a lot of interference that can be going on. In one control box I have my wireless...

Channels and universes are no longer used with modern controllers and software, it's a nice to know but not anything we need to worry about at this time. Single colors tend to draw less power then running white which uses all of the colors. Turn it to white to get the best idea of how they will...

I did not use any fuse blocks in my controller boxes as I run everything from my controllers. For the two boxes with multiple power supplies they are tied together and then are split to power each side separately. So, PS 1 powers 1 - 8, and PS 2 powers 9 - 16. I did buy some fuse blocks and...

Congratulations! The first controller box is always exciting as it gets you ready for putting a show together and you get to use it for testing also! Your pictures brought to mind a few questions and then also a couple comments. Questions! 1. Which controller box is that? It's similar to a Bud...

Hello, I use very similar hooks to hang props on my garage and have found they work very well. You will want to check the weight rating on the hooks are they are each slightly different. While testing clips, I ordered different ones and found some work better than others. The clips are used on...

Hello Mike, I'm outside of Chicago and half my Halloween show are used for Christmas also. I do run some specific Halloween props but started small. Depending on where you are in WI, you might be able to get a deal on some used Halloween props. :D I do know there is a mini in WI, have you been...

I always had an issue with the connections on my custom strips when I cut and soldiered them. I switched over from strip in pex to just bullets in coro to make my life easier. If you are using strip, design the arches around the length of strip you are using. It might not be a bad thing to...

There are others on here who do print props for the show. It might take time for them to chime in. I know they have done multi part prints of larger props and glued them together. Normally, I only print mounting brackets for my props. The first year I used PLA, which has held up surprisingly...
