You might check out https://falconchristmas.com/forum/index.php?topic=16232.0 and see if that guy ever got it working. Does it need to be midi? I would think the FPP API would be much simpler to work with but I don't know QLab (from...

For me this year I set out to remove as much 240V AC from the yard as possible, and instead distribute power to remote areas via 24V DC. Thanks to the awesome crew who hang out in the chat room I was able to achieve most of that goal - just two remaining very close to the house. Thankyou guys...

How did you get the council to install a power/controller cabinet on the footpath? ;-) Love the sleigh, that is really cool!!

I wish I spotted this before I got half way through doing my own 🤣 Nice work, thanks!!

I'm about 2 weeks in now, and still getting failures from "that batch"... though it does appear like it may be slowing down... I hope like heck I'm through the worst of it. So I'm not really sure how long you'd need to do a burn in to increase your chance of not having to pull props down and...

Spot on. What we do is so unique and something the average person just doesn't see as you can't buy any of this stuff off the shelf. Sometimes I just wish it didn't take so long ;-)

thankyou so much for your support in running this over the years Daryl! I can only begin to imagine the hours you have put in to run this.

At some point I'd like to be able to hook up some buttons to control one or more aspects of the display... eg turn the whole display, or a particular prop (mega tree perhaps?) a particular colour, or something more complex. I've seen others have a song selection panel or webpage, and there is of...
