    P5 Matrix, What else do I need?

    Right, the F16 is not involved, it just gets part of the ethernet data from the player. These are square panels?

    need help on identify seed pixels

    If it doesn't light on 5V try 12V :-) We may be able to tell from looking at the exterior, but often times not.

    What are your Standout Props?

    Doesn't matter what I put out. Everyone goes for the fobbles machine.

    3D Model in xLights, what other setup before I start?

    Put the dimensions in as you add them, ruler makes this easy. Then they are scaled... easier to do before copy+paste than after...

    Yes but it is only March so we will see if you can restrain yourself 😁

    No excuses left, start putting on blinky.

    Did you set a ruler object yet?

    3D Model in xLights, what other setup before I start?

    Take the google maps overhead and put it as an image under the house. That would cover your driveways, trees, and such. But not to worry ... you can always do these things later.

    What does $100 print...?

    Thanks for posting this. If nothing else, it makes me sure that I'll keep using coro for snowflakes... but the peace/forest stakes are much more interesting. What we really need to figure out is how to make more stuff for seed pixels using 3D printing, as coro is pretty miserable for that.

    What are your Standout Props?

    That's already a good mix, to know what's missing it would help to see the layout. But a quick guess is spinners would be nice, not sure what HD spinners are available for laser cutting.

    Dimensions in XLights

    I adjusted the house to the grid size instead of grid to house but YMMV. I do not end up looking at the grid lines, but you can add more. I am not sure about it snapping or how useful that would be, most of the time xLights positions the center of everything (but there is an easy option to put...

    Dimensions in XLights

    Use the ruler (under 3D objects), then put real dimensions in on all your props. Also, if you scale the house model so xLights units easily map to real world units (mine is at 10 to the foot).

    How do i program / Wire this?

    If you use a T junction (for data) then both sides of the tee will always do the exact same thing. This is because the pixel takes a colour off the data line and passes the rest of the data down to the next pixel and so on. So if you make two chains, they both do the same thing. The obvious...

    Issues with LED matrix set up

    There's a second thread about this - not uploading the controller certainly seems to be part of the issue... if that doesn't get fixed none of the other experiments are valid, really.
