- Vixen 3 (continuing off from where last year's Mini got to)
- Designing elements on a budget
- SmartAlec Lights goodies (pi-pixel, enclosure temperature reading ... wirelessly)
- Enclosures ... and capturing their temperature to display wirelessly (the follow up to what was proven last year ... that enclosures do get warm)
- ESPixelStick / Arduino
- P6 Panels (what are they ... how they are similar/different to P10 panels in more ways than just pixel density)
