    🎅 Sydney Mini 2026 – Dates + Organisation

    I think July 4th would be an awesome day to celebrate a Mini! I'll be celebrating something else that day and will not be able to attend. Edit: P.S. I did not actually vote.

    Cable End Termination - What do you use?

    For the most part I put a xConnect pigtail on the end of the string so I can daisy chain the prop to something else. In emergencies and in a rush I have used heat shrink tubing with glue to seal the end off. While I like the thought of liquid electrical tape just not for outside where it can...

    Appropriate wire for splices and xConnect runs?

    That's right! You should start using lights for the 4th of July, and also Halloween to work out the kinks!

    Matrix not previewing anymore

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

    Help me plan a new layout - Will show off the results in November!

    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.

    To Paint or not Paint your Props

    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.

    Ready to run- Baldrick 8 Port Pixel Controller - Power supply fit?

    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...

    So another post Drones has anyone done theme before

    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...

    Any ideas on redoing my mega control box ?

    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...

    First controller setup and ready to roll!

    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...

    First controller setup and ready to roll!

    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...
