Thank you for all of your ideas, I have decided to go with the F Prop to run the pixels to light up in the box and add a timer to run the whiper motor that both are trigged by a PIR plus added sound to the monster in the box which is run off the F Prop as well
Its a halloween prop
Monster in a box where if you pass it the PIR will set off the box to shake and I would like to add lights to it that change color at the start and later as it shakes
I have a couple of Baldrick boards for my christmas display and have no problems with these but I want the...
Hi I am working on a project that requires a controller that can be programed to run a small sequence once trigged by a PIR all by itself
12 V
About 150 pixels in total
Able to set up a sequence to it
Any idea on what controller to use would be helpful
That's not quite I started with C on the bottom half all the way to s and the back to m in "Christmas" then to the top of Y to the M on Merry where it double back along the bottom to the m of Christmas where it go along the top of "Christmas" back to C not forgetting the dot in i where it just...
I placed the lights the edge of the letters and then used the light Show Hub https://www.lightshowhub.com/tools/xlights-custom-model-builder to form a model of the lights by counting each pixel and forming each letter as a sub model and then created Groups like Merry, every second letter and so...
I used PETG and CA glue to join it together, haven't glue the top cover on as yet but might use hot glue so as it is not to hard to pull apart if I need to get to the LED's.
The LED,s are hot glued in place.
Also I might plug the holes from each letter to stop LED color bleed from each letter...
You write up got me to give it a try with what I had at home and this is what I end up with
Was short by a couple of pixels but it appears alright
I also mount it on a board so I could mount it outside and not break in the wind
The one on thinggiverse should fit as it has slots for the screws on the side to line up with the screw holes but I am not sure the mount holes for the board are the same as the baldrick
Looks great,do you have a photo of how you installed your LED to these and did you set up each letter in XLights so you can run each letter at a different color or are you going to just run it as one item in your display
I under stand that you need to set up the color light card first with LED Vision before trying to run the matrix from FPP
This is one of Greg old you tube that might help you
