Ah is that how they do it, that make sense now.

Agree with above but I had a quick look - I just saw the ChatGPT response from @merryoncherry - it's kinda on it. It looks like the curl command for GitHub isn't grabbing the raw but the HTML, it should be: `curl -o FPP_Install.sh...

Ok ok im ordering them already

TBH I think it depends if might depend if there's external light sources, like street lights are close. Even then, I'd say the pixels will prob over power any colors anyway. We mainly paint ours so there's not the big white coro blobs during the day. We certainly didn't notice if you can see...

I vote paint! I wish I'd have thought about the caps for the pixels tho hahah! Will def do that for touch ups. We paint them all, the candy canes, mini trees etc. I do like the printed ones from inkcreations where you don't need to worry - plus on the reverse is the wiring instructions. Our...

I'm looking at exactly the same in the new year, due to the height of our roof - I only want to do this once with a cherry picker. I like the idea of https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/strip-installation-on-roof-eaves.16187/#post-140149 mounting under the eaves with a good quality YPS...

Oh nice, these def look handy!

I gotcha - the cold spark machine!

Yup this is awesome! So trying this!

Thanks for sharing. Have to say I love supporting and ordering from your store, great to deal with if there's any issues and I'm constantly impressed with how generous you are with your time! Actually, overall I'm constantly blown away from everyone's knowledge and willingness to share on this...

Hahha I see now! I clearly wasn't paying enough attention there - I was imaging a Netgear passive POE at 12v *where on earth did he find this* Still neat! Essentially creating your own Poe solution to keep the boards powered is awesome.

Fantastic explanation! What's the Netgear switch you're using for 12v Poe?

I used this as well last year! Works a treat, fantastic idea and so easy. I also used this for mounting large props like singing trees etc but had to make it into more of a clamp onto the tile as it was shifting a little too much for my liking in storms. This year I'm just going to make a...

To lighten (hahah) the workload, would there be an appetite to setup a live document instead? Maybe transfer the current one into a GitHub repo, meaning people can just continuously contribute? You'd then set that to auto build the user manual as a website automatically. You'd just need a...
