    What element(s) are you building or installing this week? - 2022

    Finished off the two 50x6 matrices to hang on either side of the front door. So now it's on to building controller boxes. Hopefully, I can get the smaller one to go on the roof finished this weekend.

    Roof line wiring design

    If I run this with 2x HE123-RX, I would have to run 2x data cables from the TX which will be in the main box in the front yard so would be a good 10-12m of cable. There would be no issue with running these cables side by side?

    Power Supply plugs???

    Roof line wiring design

    So I'm finally upgrading to the WS2811 5v pixels (that have been sitting around for the last few years) and just trying to decide how to wire up and power all the strings. So the blue lines will be bullet nodes. The top roof line is a total of 23.1m and almost 500 pixels The purple star is a...

    What's your prefered choice of pigtail?

    So since my entire display needs to be replaced, now is as good a time as any to consider if there is any benefit to changing from Ray Wu to Xconnect? While I do have a number of unused Ray Wu pigtails still, considering I'm about to purchase all new pixels and controllers, it's not going to be...

    Long time no see

It's also great to see a lot more pins on the map in the west side of Melbourne. Surprisingly it's been 10 years since I first joined ACL. We didn't run our...

    ACL Megatree database

    That's a handy reference. What about adding another tab or 2 for things like arches or outlines?

    Moving Head Spotlights

    Did anyone add any moving head lights to their shows this year? I'd love to see any videos with them in. I have been considering them myself but waiting to get enough funds together to do it. I've had trouble tying to find the weatherproof domes and the ones I have found seem very expensive...

    Icicles and Wind

    The way I do mine is attach the icicles to conduit and then using cable tie mounts attach to the facia under the gutter. You might be able to see in the pic attached from last years set up. Using this method I've found that they have rarely been able to get blown up onto the roof.
