Brief overview of my rebuild controller boxes. For the past couple of seasons I've been running my display from a hotchpotch collection of controller boxes. I've been wanting to standardise the controller boxes for a while, but never had the time to do so. My mentality was if it ain't broke...

Small tweaks: Rebuilding / Standardising Controller boxes (2 out of 4 is done) Rebuilding master control box with new Pi and updated switch. De-pixel my Matrix (1152 bullet pixels) and re-pixel with 4300 seed pixels Building and pushing pixels into a number of Icicle Props. Pushing Pixels into...

Totally agree with @Godfree2000. Thank you to everybody for making it another great mini.

Pretty much all of these are great. The Boscoyo GeoWreath (I think this is the PPD GeoWreath) is used by plenty of sequencers. The Showstopper props are really great, and they constantly update the sub-models. If you go with the SS Snowflake, you can combine it with the SS Mini Flake and I...

Send you a PM.

I also have both. I have found the corro props become brittle and quite easy to break after a couple of seasons in the Qld Sun. I think the only vendor in Aus that does the foam board is Johnno from Inc Creations, and his quality is really good. Fortunately I have not dropped any of them...

Hi @rgabr0 I've got a similar box I've built and could share some insights. My build is not a s complicated as yours, as all my props are 12V, but happy to meet up and discuss. PS: I'm also located in Brisbane, and love working on controller boxes.

Thanks @Skymaster by hook or by crook, I've managed to install the eeprom, and load the licence. What a journey.

Initially it showed noting. No Cape no info. I left it running for the last hour or so, and when rechecking with the latest version of FPP 9.3.3, after selecting the RGB-123 just for giggles, it showed the eeprom was not programmed. Managed to program the eeprom, via FPP, so looks promising.

Hi Brain trust, I hope somebody could shed some light on this situation. I have a Kulp32A-B, which unfortunately two of the power connectors broke. Pretty poor build quality IMO, but a conversation for another day. As a backup I purchased the HE123Mk2 with expansion board. My understanding is...

@thewanderingpine - Thanks I saw that today. I love that John is thinking outside of the box, and offering proper products in Australia.

I guess it all depends on how you construct your tree. My first tree I made my own topper, and still use it to this day. The tree consists of a concrete base which is mounted on 32mm Galvanised Pipe found at Bunnings in the plubming section, and the topper is attached using a 32mm Flange also...

Thanks @BAZMick - I'll send you a PM.

I am hoping somebody in the general area of Brisbane will be able to help me with welding a piece of 300mm pipe to my Tree Topper. I may also need to have a section of either Square Tube or Lower Thickness Pipe welded to the Top-Side of the Tree Topper for easy Mounting of the Tree Star. The...
